I am motivated by a good challenge, so I decided to set several goals for myself this year to continue evolving my artistic practice. 1. Teach a class I am super excited to be teaching my first art journaling class this month. Invites have been sent, the outline is complete, and samples are made. I'm considering this a big experiment, as I'm sure I'll learn a ton about what works and doesn't work. First challenge to tackle is offering a version for interested folks outside of the Central Valley. I'm going to try Facebook live so people can join us real time, but who knows how well that will work. If the lesson plan works I may submit an application to offer the course as a non-credit class at the local community college. 2. Get published This year I plan to submit my work to several mixed-media art magazines. They typically receive hundreds of submissions, so who knows if my work will be selected. I'll never know if I don't try. I'm gearing up for the first submission deadline in February, to Art Journaling magazine. 3. Show my work I'd like to show my work in a gallery at least once this year. Not sure where or when, but I have a couple of possibilities I'm investigating. I've been working on a series of abstract landscapes that would work well together. I've set some other, smaller goals and I'm sure I'll think of more I'd like to accomplish as the year continues on. For now, I'm focused on developing my plan to achieve my top 3 arty goals for 2019. Wish me luck!
