Lots of exciting things happening in the realm of the radar...
I have some new pieces up at The Loft!
I will be out of touch for the month of April so be sure to get your orders in soon.
Also, I recently launched Celia Rose's Guanajuato Transformation. I am trying to raise money for me to return to Guanajuato and focus all of my attention on creating art projects with the girls at the Buen Pastor orphanage and other youth in the city.
While living in Mexico, I was fortunate enough to meet Katie Clancy, creator of Colectivo TAN 473 (en español) who introduced me to an entirely new realm of Guanajuato. The city, with its mummies, mines and legends, has been a never ending source of excitement and inspiration for me since I first arrived in 2005.
Studying- and then living- in Guanajuato completely changed my view of the world and transformed my sense of self completely. Never before had I felt so confident in my abilities and supported as myself. I felt wonder and excitement at the possibilities that became open to me with my newfound confidence and community.
My desire to create has always been inside of me and I was lucky enough to grow up in a family that encouraged and facilitated art in everyday life. I feel, though, that my time in Guanajuato has been key in my taking an idea from my dreams and making them visible for all to see.
I want to provide a safe environment and give nurturing support for children who may not find those things at home or in their everyday lives. The changes that happen in their self-confidence are as important as the drawing and photography skills that we incorporate into our workshops.
