For the last few months I have worked harder than I have in my entire life. I have been busy at work with an influx of clients and a momentum like a tidal wave. It's been very exciting. But so much to think about. At the same time I have been working to ready for my trip to Spain next month. I am taking a month to explore and paint. Taking time to be me again... and just see what it feels like to have time and space to think and create. But, that trip has required a lot of planning and plotting. I also have been meeting once a week and working on a very special project. MPLS CREATES is the brainchild of myself and Kristina Perkins. We have both long felt like there is more we can offer the arts community here in Minneapolis and so today was the official launch of our website www.mplscreates.com ... it's been a labor of love so far... and I can only imagine the full scope of this beast... here's some more info directly from the press release:
Today, MPLS Creates, an organization focused on bridging the gap between the creatives and the
public, announced the official unveiling of their website. MPLS Creates is the beginning of a movement to celebrate the
creative side in all of us. The website, www.mplscreates.com, will be a platform where a stream of interviews and
behind-the-scenes look at creatives around the Minneapolis area can be experienced.
Founded by Kristina Perkins and Jennifer Sandquist, the two set out to make a difference in how the creative
community is viewed and motivated. Their online platform strives to display how creatives arrive at their final product,
instead of the emphasis being solely on the final product. They hope to engage both emerging and established creatives. Perkins and Sandquist are passionate about sharing the creative process as well as providing resources on how to make creative ideas happen. Join them in celebrating all of the local creative talent coursing through this city by visiting their website at www.mplscreates.com. If you or anyone you know is creative, MPLS Creates asks that you reach out to them. They are constantly searching for new creatives to feature and interview, no matter what their medium.
