I’m baaaaaaaack!
Inspired. In awe. High.
My my. I’ve missed you all. I’ve been on hiatus entirely too long. It’s been crazy though and thanks to Vi I’m sure you have some idea of what’s been going on. I turned 30. I was crowned with my first tiara. I exhibited in my first art show since college. I’ve come to the realization that I AM an artist. Holy moly! That was a biggie. Venus Envy rocked! Just read Vi’s post on it. It was such an honor to exhibit along side such phenomenally talented women. That sounds like a lot of happenings right there doesn’t it? Oh! But it doesn’t stop there!
I not only attended my first birth but I was invited to photograph it! 100 photographs and a 8lb 2oz little girl later I swayed between tears and laughter for quite a long while. My cheeks hurt from smiling. I’ve given birth but it is something else entirely to be on the other side. There aren’t words in the dictionary for how I felt being there – hidden safely behind my camera. And while I searched for words to describe it I called my momma, my grandma and a few other rockin’ chics to tell them. I still hadn’t found the right words 24 hours later when I got the call to photograph another birth. Another girl! 7lb 13oz. My vicarious daughters. I’m still gushing and feeling mushy. In awe. High.
And last night came an invitation to exhibit at another popular STL art show. They saw our work at Venus Envy and loved it enough to ask Vi and I to show. Individual work this time! www.artcoopstl.org if you’re in the area and would like to attend.
So, as you can see, there has been a ton of wonderful things going on in this DivArtists world!
I’ll promise to try to visit more often now if you do the same.
Love,
Zoe
