WHY WE DRAW.

Ever wonder why we draw?  The Gatewood Gallery is taking on this question with a new exhibition.  This open call for work is entitled "Why We Draw: An Exploration of Drawing", and will run from October 29th to November 7th.  Of course, you can be sure to see my submission there!

Why I drew:

My piece is entitled "The State of Tate".  This is a visual representation of the movement and signage on Tate Street in Greensboro, NC.  The darker and thicker lines demonstrate the busier areas whether that be from bicycle, car, or foot traffic.  There are some remnants of signage, but most are nonrepresentational as you would only see them in passing.  These would be fragmented without intentional focus.

One Day Dreaming.

Attention everyone! There is a new apparel company in town that puts a new meaning to wearing your heart on your sleeve.  A short sleeve to be precise.  One Day Apparel has developed some awesome T's that are all about showing support for Cancer patients and the research for a cure.  Currently 20% of the cost goes to cancer research, but with a little help we can get this movement really going and increase that percentage to 75%.  This is something near and dear to me, and I so excited to be joining the One Day Apparel team!  Whether it is purchasing a T-shirt, subscribing to their website, or following them on Facebook, any support is welcome!  Like most heartfelt projects, the story is just as important as the mission.   So make sure you check out the courageous and touching spark of one woman that started this soon to be wildfire here.

Basically, you'll be lookin' good and doin' good at the same time. Win win!
