Sorry for the long absence, I've returned :)

It's been a couple of months since my last update, sorry for the hiatus again fellow friends, bloggers, and artists. I thought I'd write an update on life before I get ready for the day to leave for morning classes at my college.

December – Christmas monthly season was one of the hardest times for my loved ones of my family, closest family friends, my beloved guy amore B and I, especially on the day before Christmas Eve because that was the day I had lost due to severe health, long term after surgery complications and other things leading to it…sadly we lost my only godson/fifth nephew I lovingly nicknamed "Little Bam", he was just three years old. We buried him with funeral and memorial a week after before New Years. Sometimes it's still hard for my family and me, but I've found ways especially through art to keep me going every day while at the same time keeping his memories alive with me.

January – I took some time off doing art, spent the time spending it with my family, especially my Mum, and time quality wise with B, he's been literally my official loving rock of moral loving support throughout the hard times I've been hit with before and after 2012 came, he's the best thing I have in my life and hope to one day call him my other half, my husband in the future.

February – I've been enrolled for the spring semester at school contently, taking an art course of intermediate drawing with my art mentor's fellow instructors who is such a sweetheart like my female mentor of arts. I've enjoyed using the colorful colors of pastels, prisma-color pencils, and rediscovering my love for watercolor paints. English as a course of another semester of writing away and reading books is keeping me occupied as well. I may have some work from prior previous art exhibition shows featured in a student exhibition of art for school likely in May, time will tell. I also before the semester started, got to see a wonderful group women's art exhibition gallery show at the MK Gallery in Hollywood's Sunset Blvd. area in Los Angeles that had the opening night for both artists I adore respectfully with their work, Lindsay Ballato-Way and Terra McPherson. Their show was amazing with their lovely art pieces individually and getting to meet Mrs. Ballato-Way again and meeting for the first time Ms. McPherson was an honor.

March – March month is looking to be epically awesome for me because mainly I've been looking for a part time job to afford to save up for future traveling trips, the amp for my electric guitar "Misfit", new art supplies a.k.a. art toys and…I AM SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER HAPPILY MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE "MSI" IN CONCERT WITH MY GUY B AND A FEW MUTAL FRIENDS AT THEIR DATE FOR THE NOKIA LOS ANGELES SHOW AT THE END OF THIS MONTH!

Present Update in Arts:  I've been doing the traditional painting and drawing of things with collage pieces for naturally class assignments such as random themes and still life set ups. However, I've been excited to experiment in new types of style of art pieces within the mixed media section of arts. I have been experimenting in paper mache sculpture pieces in both human and animal style concepts made out of mainly wires, molding wire, different types of paper, mainly recycled newspapers. As well as sculptures, I have been trying my hands at making mixed media theme concept assemblage three-dimensional art pieces and doll-like sculptures. With new portfolios to be made ASAP, I will be trying to submit my work to art galleries within my city and in the LA arts districts, so time will tell if I have new galleries to put my art pieces in.

Until my next post, adios!
