I show some of my artwork on a website called see.me and they have organized an event in New York which – woohoo – I was chosen to be a part of. They will show art from 103 countries and the show will run from July 25th until September 10th.

The following is the letter they sent me:

It’s award season, no doubt.  First the Liebster blogging award and now this.   😀

Remember my post from June 12th?  I announced the Best of Gage show here in Seattle and that I had submitted a sculpture – and wooaaahhhh – I WON – 3rd place (sculpture category).

He’s only the 4th sculpture I’ve ever done and my first cat, so I am especially pleased and happy. Here are a few pictures of the winner.

My First Time

In January this year I was part of my first art show ever. I showed a drawing in the self-portrait exhibition at Gage. It was not easy to make the next step and show a drawing publicly. Massive self doubts crept up, what might others say or think – you know. BTW showing your art in a gallery space (hanging physically on a wall) is different from posting it online – after all you might run into someone who actually knows you 🙂

It’s difficult enough to show for the first time but to show a self portrait for starters was even harder. Anyway, I did it – here I hang:

 

 

The show was judged. I didn’t win anything. But, my drawing actually hung right next to the first place winner and one away from the second place winner. I’m taking this as a good sign – and encouragement to keep going.  🙂
