the laughing heart

yesterday was the first day of the "winter chill" feeling this year. i worked on a few things for my upcoming shows. i have been really busy at work lately, taking on more duties than usual... and life gets busy... but i still found time to work up some new things for these fall shows.  i am finishing pieces this morning and hanging Covet this afternoon. i've been fighting a terrible cold for about 3 weeks now. i think i won. but my ribs hurt from coughing. maybe that means i will be healthy for the rest of the winter. The Covet opening is this Thursday. 


Covet will be featuring a different artist every month with the opening falling on the SECOND THURSDAY of the month! SECOND THURSDAYS = look at some art, meet the current featured artist and shop home goods!

Covet will be featuring the acrylic paintings of local artist Jennifer Sandquist. This show titled, "Vintage Roadtrip," will focus on roadside americana imagery.

The Laughing Heart  ~ Charles Bukowski

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.

be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.

know them.
take them.

you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.

your life is your life.
know it while you have it.

you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

I am also excited to announce I will be doing a one night show at Ruff Love Dogs, October 28th 4-8pm and a solo show at Pine City Center For The Arts, November 9th. 
I'm excited because my mom will be coming to that show. The first time she'll be in attendance at one of my openings. I'll post more information about those openings in the coming weeks.
