What a great time we had at the show yesterday at the JCC. Congratulations to all the wonderful fashion designers, other artists involved and Terri Stearn, for a job well done! What a delight to find out when we got there that Joe Faris from Project Runway 5 would be taking part in the show. It's always an honor and great fun to participate in the exhibits at the JCC!
Terri Stearn, gallery director, you are the very best!
These are the bracelets I created for the gallery portion of the Project Runway Detroit show
at the Janice Charach Gallery.
They are on sale here until March 8.
You can find a few pictures from the runway show HERE

It's been awhile since I've updated the blog here... I've been so busy cranking out illustrations that I've lost track of all time. My newest illustrated venture is How Haitians Play Basketball (TorchRunner Press) written by Travis Mushett, illustrated by me. This book was published for BlazeSports whose mission is to improve the lives of children and adults with physical disabilities worldwide through sport, healthy lifestyles, the prevention of chronic illness, sport diplomacy, and human rights. I worked with a fabulous team on this book and I'm very proud of it. I can't wait to to share this story with you! The release date is scheduled for mid-September, so stay tuned for more updates on this project. I'll be able to tell you when and where to get your copy! It's a wonderful story and your money will go to a most deserving cause.

This for Illustration Friday
this illustration is from a previously published children's book in which all of the original illustrations submitted to the author were created by me. The final illustrations included in the book were altered and look quite different from the originals

Thank you for all that entered the Milford Memories / ArtQwerks 2011 Booth Share competition. I am so excited that the Chamber gave me the opportunity to donate my booth to fellow VFAA and HVCA members I care so much about. I received the decision from the Huron Valley Chamber of Commerce and they have chosen the following artists from the entries that were submitted.
...and Milford Memories / ArtQwerks Booth winners (and a little sampling of their art) are:
April Schwaegerle / Jewelry
Mary Bajcz / Fiber Arts
Janice Dumas / Watercolors
Their booth, filled with all sorts of gorgeous goodies by all three artists, will be set up in front of Main Street Art (see Janice's Painting above) for the fun filled weekend of Milford Memories Summer Festivals 20th Anniversary 2011 celebration, August 12th, 13th and 14th!
Three very well deserved winners! Congratulations to them all!

Finally! A blog entry...
I have been (and still am) working very hard on the illustrations for a children's book with the wonderful people at BlazeSports of Atlanta GA. Keeping a balance of work, exhibiting and making time to enjoy the pleasures of warm weather has been exciting and I've loved every minute of it, but as I begin another entry for Illustration Friday here, I realize it's been a MONTH since I've made any sort of entry at all...That's a first...I'm a big talker Betty Crocker...I blame spring.
It's so much easier during the winter months to hibernate, work, work, work and look at the beauty of the snowy landscape from the windows of my studio. It's a challenge in the spring however, to stick to my well planned schedule when sensory overload is so prevalent. The smell of fresh cut grass, the sound of pond waterfalls, my sweet horses nickering, the call of the sandhill cranes and hypnosis of the swimming pool sparkle on a sunshiney day, fill my imagination with all that lies ahead through the glorious summer months. These are the breathtaking touches of spring and summer that make time so enjoyable to spend in the outdoor warmth and gorgeousness with friends and family. I plan to soak it all in and enjoy it one moment at a time...
