Welcome 2008, blank canvas, year of possibilities and hidden challenges. Year of first steps and all things new. This year holds a relocation for our family, my daughter's first steps perhaps and maybe even her first word. A host of interesting things and the beginning of life as an artist in Canada. It concerns me a little because the opportunities here in the United States are much more well published. But if I have learned something from 2007 it is how to search for information.

The year began for me with the close of the gallery show. I picked up my work shortly after my return from a visit home. All in all, I consider the show a success. I gained some experience for my resume and a huge boost in confidence. One thing I did note is that I will have to find another, simpler way of packaging my work. For some reason the bubble wrap that I used to protect my work was harder to put on the second time. I wonder if fabric covers would be better- but they would also be expensive and involve some time to make them. It would be sad if they didn't return home, but on the plus side I think they would be much more durable and greener than plastic packing materials. I will have to think a little more about that.  These markers are great to look back on and use as spring boards into future endeavors that I fully expect to have to be more aggressive in. I look forward to the next opportunity to show my work and advance my art career. The only thing that I am wondering is how to go about my next submission since we have an offer pending on our house that if all goes as planned requires us to be out on February 15, 2008. Less than 30 days now.

This year holds lots of changes for us as a family and for me as an artist. Not too long now and we will start to see what they will mean for all of us.
