the Artist Within

LAUREN WALKER, Special to The Standard

I am happy to report good news since my last article! I applied to The Kent Farndale Gallery and was approved for a show in January 2023! The way I look at it is, I have more than a year to prepare. Thank you to the Scugog Memorial Library and Kent Farndale for the space! I’ll be sure to share more details as we get closer.

I participated in the PPAA Autumn Show, which was my very first show! My thanks, to those who helped set up the venue and the lovely ladies of the PPAA who helped me. I had so much fun and enjoyed taking pictures of all the awesome displays.

If you check out my Facebook page, at https://m.facebook.com/artistwithin86, you’ll see three great designs for Christmas cards. These are available for purchase in person, at All Fit All Ages Gym. You can also contact me through Facebook if preferred. My email is available at the end of this article. I’m so happy to be able to share the Christmas spirit with everyone! Thank you, to everyone who has supported my artwork this year.

Last year at this time, I was in a much different place, personally and professionally. To think, now I am making and selling art. I now have my own show to look forward to, as well. I’d like to think, all the negativity led me to the most happy of places. I’m pursuing my dream, and life keeps sending me signs, I’m on the right path. It’s clear, this is what I’m meant to do. Funny how life goes sometimes.

I’d like to offer some poignant words of advice. Instead, I’ll keep it simple: Go for it, get your art on!

Happy painting.
