Talent

I am surrounded by talented people, and I LOVE IT!
My family is talented, my friends are talented, my neighbors are talented.
Many can create art, some write, or dance, some craft, some sing.
And believe it or not, EVERYONE is talented at something. Whether you cook, or are good with people, perhaps you have a way with animals, or you can sew or knit, or you might be a great organizer, a photographer, etc., there is a special talent in you.

I just visited my future son-in-law, Yori's website. He's getting ready for an upcoming museum gallery show Feb. 2012. He has been working hard in his newly built home studio besides working full time at the junior college. Check out his site for a behind the scenes look at a sculptor at work.

My daughter Dana has been driving up to Berkely these past few months on the weekends for a residency in print making. So besides planning their wedding, and working full time, these two have been super busy. She's making some great new prints, and actually is going to be teaching a class there in the future. Check out her website and blog.

My younger daughter (by 1/2 hour) Betsy is in Nebraska right now. She took a leave of absence from her full time job at the University for a two week residency painting and creating at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center in Nebraska City. She is making some incredible new paintings. Check out her sites.
