there is a paradigm shift happening. as ws creative works on the rebrand, you can feel it, right? the art world is shifting and we always try to shape shift in the direction of progress + being ahead of the times. in a world of oversaturation especially in the art world [as likely mentioned in previous posts], finding the right niche within the world becomes more + more challenging.
having the gift + opportunity to follow your dream is not only donting, time consuming, stressful + often can leave you feeling like more of a burden + drained. optimism + successful moments help. going back in time connecting the constellation of dots that represent the successes can help.
moving future forward in a time of uncertainty, more research more lists. its there + its attainable. anything is possible during this paradigm shift in this crazy world. all you have to do is listen carefully to the signs around us. they are there…waiting for us to uncover.
when you get to go to an event with a friend it makes it way more fun. joining tailored home design (sara s) was just a pleasant surprise. she tells me she wants to attend the lecture by hgtv show personality candice olson + we have about twenty minutes before it starts so we casually stroll the halls of the sdc. unlike the boston design center that I was part of for about ten years the seattle design center is smaller but more intimate. this being my only second visit, we know the showrooms + what they offer. a new fun showroom is craftex, a custom cement artisan. candice olsen’s lecture is about to begin. we take seats. like most events you get asked to put our biz cards in the bowl. i have never won anything in my life + when candice calls shapirodesigns in front of her 100+ crowd I slowly stand up + wave for winning the grand prize from the shade store. during the talk candice describes her upholstery collaboration with kravet in detail down to the name. sensual boucle in dove is my favorite. super luxurious + ultra soft! post my win at the sdc event we casually shove cupcakes + cookies into our hungry faces each labeled by flavor: true sdc style. i get the chance to pitch my artwork to candice + give her my card. wow what a day! even when you might not feel too social + stuck it really does help to get out of your comfort zone: it truly is refreshing.
