Grown Up Stuff

Sooo now that I'm officially graduated (from UConn's Illustration program) and I am now officially a professional artist it's about time I start promoting myself and my work!

This past weekend I had the privilege of seeing my FIRST commissioned art EVER printed on the backs of all who participated in NADAA's (National Association of Dance and Affiliated Artists) summer convention in CT! It was really exciting and I met wonderful young girls who were just as enthused about visual art as they were about the performing arts! I signed so many tee-shirts and sold prints of my other dance related work, (which I will soon post here as well.) It was such a wonderfully receptive audience (and I hope they are checking this out right now, because I passed out lots of business cards!) :)

For the convention I thought it would be a great idea to get my cafepress site finally off of the ground so I put a few of my prints on various items there as well!

For now the site is just snippets of my favorite works on several different items. However plans for the near future are to put up a site for graphic tees/apparel and then another for prints of my paintings. Right now I only have painting work available but check back soon because I've had a HUGE blast of inspiring motivational energy recently!

I was also super psyched to meet Miss Katee Shean from last season's So You Think You Can Dance on Fox. She was a fantastic teacher all day the kids loved her and they were SO excited to meet her and have her sign pictures and take pictures with them.

Anyway, please check back for more updates I'll be posting here and at cafepress! (My cousin also thinks its a good idea to finally breakdown and get a twitter thing going so keep a look out for that too!) Lots of posts and fun things to come!
