Day 15-Book Blog Tour

March 15, 2011 By in art at the speed of life Tags: , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Today we are off to my friend Julie Bergmann’s blog! Julie and I also met a few years ago at the ZNE ConvenZioNE

Pictured here Donna Cook, Brandie Butcher-Isley, me, Lisa Kettell, and Julie Bergmann

We hit it off right away and I ended up going back to CA to visit, the both of us heading up to Stampington & Co where we had fun competing each other in one of Jenny Doh’s funny videos!

I love this picture, it’s Jenny Doh telling Julie her work is on the cover of Art Doll!

And speaking of Jenny, she has asked me back as an alumni curator on Crescendoh. My Art Saves story is deeply personal, about something that was and is still going on in my family. I invite you to read it in the hopes that by sharing we all find comfort.

Julie is one of those people you meet that you just know you would have been friends with even back in school. Take a few minutes and go check out her website full of lovely creations!

Day 7-Book Blog Tour

Todays stop on the Blog Tour is the glittery world of Lisa Kettell!

Lisa and I met up again at CHA this past January (left to right, Julie Bergmann, Jenn Mason, me, and Lisa Kettell) Lisa, Julie and I had all met a couple of years ago in Pleasanton, CA and it was fun to all be together again and fill each other in on the new directions we were going with our art.

Lisa has a book out ( I have my own signed copy:-)

Lisa and I met the first time at the ZNE ConvenZioNE in 2009. She’s an easy person to like and tons of fun! We made an instant connection, one that happens when like minded people meet.

She’s sparkly. And she’s a hard-very hard- worker! She’s got something exciting going on all the time! That is what made her a perfect person to contribute to Art at the Speed of Life. So be sure to stop by her blog today and check it out!!

    Myself, Traci Bunkers, Jenn Mason, Stefanie Girard, and Lisa Kettell

    Stampington’s Christen Olivarez and Amanda Crabtree were on the floor as well!
    I met Claudine Hellmuth! Her book, Collage Discovery Workshop was the first mixed media book I ever bought!
    The very kind and amazingly talented  Tim Holtz took a moment to look through my book-what a thrill!
