Via Colori was a success!! I even made it in the Houston Chronicle! http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid823433113/bctid2917199001 Hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving break - Many blessings to you and your family!

For those of you that signed up for my Clothespin Doll Workshop at the Auction, I just wanted to let you know that we have a special guest attending. I am so excited and just can't wait!!!! shhhh -

My art classes are in need of old wooden picture frames. We will be using them to make our own canvases. If you have any 8 x 10 or larger that you are not using - we would love to have them! You can send me an email or drop them by the art room.

Just wanted to let you know about an art event that will be happening in downtown Houston on November 22 and 23. Via Colori is a street painting festival benefiting The Center for Hearing and Speech. I know you have probably seen some pictures floating around the internet on street painting - some of them are pretty amazing! If you are looking for something to do that weekend, I encourage you go down to the festival. I will be one of the artist drawing on the sidewalks. (I wasnt about to pass up a chance to be a kid again and draw on the side walk!). Also, this is something very near and dear to my heart, as I too have suffered from hearing loss and have had various surgeries due to a genetic condition, otosclerosis.

Recently, I donated a retablo (Our Lady of Guadalupe) to the Lawndale Art Center for it's 21st annual Dia de los Muertos Silent Auction and Gala. The retablo exhibition will be on display until November 20th. If you're interested, the Lawndale Art Center has many activities planned for the whole family.
