I've been holding off on writing this post for a while because details have been fuzzy and a bit complicated. Let's start with the basics: I submitted to the the  Brush Gallery's 4x4 Education Exhibition . It's a 4x4 inch mixed media collage of a succulent. Inspired by my recent project ? Yes, yes dear. This little guy will be up for grabs at the closing reception… which will be taking place at some vague point. {shrugs} Essentially, there is a $25 cover charge, and visitors can participate in a raffle to take home one of the submitted works of art.  All the proceeds from the event will go toward a scholarship for an underprivileged student entering into the University of Lowell's art program.

Whoosh! March is gone and April looks like it's going to be a whirlwind adventure. I've got a LOT in the works and a bunch of upcoming events to note: First up is the April Open Studio at Western Avenue Studios and Lofts : THIS Saturday, April 4th, from noon - 5pm. Please stop by and say hi … and buy some art from me and/or the 150+ other artists on site. ;-) I will be in my studio (#112) working on costumes and more picture book portfolio (more on that shortly).

The admission fee also gets you one of the original pieces from the show. Woven Heart © Samantha Grenier 2015 To cap off my month, the  Society of Children's Book Writers and Il...
