Upcoming Art Show
This is very exciting! I will be featured in a cafe gallery show, Zoe, here in Florence from February 27th until April 1st. Hopefully this will gain me some exposure!

Update
It's been awhile since I've posted, so I guess I should fill you in with what's been happening in my life lately.
A couple weeks ago I travelled to Prague and Berlin with my boyfriend, which turned out to be a wonderful trip! Of course, Berlin is a hotspot in contemporary art, so as a young artist it was great to be able to see the galleries and street art in the city. Prague is a very beautiful city, and I hope to get back there one day. Overall, I found the trip to be very inspiration on my own artwork.
The last week has been busy school-wise in Florence. We just had midterm critiques, which luckily went quite well. As mentioned earlier, I have been working on a series that captures bodies in movement. I will upload some photos of my current work soon, but for now I'll add some snapshots from my trip.
Enjoy!

New Work in Progress
Yesterday I posted some of my paintings from the last few months here in Florence. I was pleased with the outcome of some of these pieces (namely, the ones I posted below), but not entirely impressed with my series so I decided to take a different direction. As such, this semester I will be focussing on the body in motion. I've also gone back into drawing which is something that I haven't done for awhile. So far I'm pleased with my work, so I thought I'd post a few progress shots!

Some photos from last semester (finally)
Not all of them, but the ones that I think were more successful. All were done in acrylics.

New Year, New Projects
Well, 2012 has started with a bang. After a great New Years in Florence with my friends and a birthday party last night, I've been avoiding the studio and any plans for new painting projects. Partly because I'm just too tired and want to rest now while I still can, but partly because I'm flat out of ideas. I wasn't entirely pleased with my series last semester and have trying to think of a different direction for the second half of my program.
I've started to feel a bit of stress due to my lack of ideas, especially since I need to submit paintings to a local cafe show in the next week, and have nothing to show for it yet. I've been thinking that maybe I could continue my series of portraits in motion...I had a lot of fun painting the first one of myself (posted earlier) and I think I could do a lot with this idea. I've been told that it's better just to paint whatever you want, even if it doesn't fit into a laid out plan. Sometimes I think it's better to have no plan at all.
....I guess all my worries can be fixed. I really need to work on 'going with the flow'. Everything will work out in the end!
Buon Anno
p.s....I promise that I will post my paintings soon...I'm just being lazy about it
