When 2011 was coming to an end, I thought “Goodbye to a terrible year”! After making a list of accomplishments, I realized that it wasn’t all that bad. I met some great people - Linda Yenshaw, Stephanie Geffert, Linda Celestian, Casey Gleghorn, Jared Conti, Valerie White and many more. I showed at some new venues - Grey Art Gallery, Faces First Day Spa, Avenue 209, Bellefonte Arts and others. I tried new methods of making Art and accessories such as painting onto stainless steel and baking shrink-film earrings. I shipped a few paintings to some fulfilled customers, which involves the creative process of packing. And lastly, I made more LISTS (because I do them so well) of things to do in 2012.
The first thing on my list was signing up for Alyson Stanfield’s ‘Blast Off’ class http://www.artbizcoach.com/bo.html I’m on Day 5 and already feeling ahead of the game. Most people think being an Artist means getting up late, drinking some coffee & going into the studio all day to play. Oh how I wish that were true! Running an Art Business involves doing everything you do at your day job plus a zillion more things you would never even think of. I don’t want to bore you with details but let’s just say it’s not all fun & games.
Look for new work on the Facebook page weekly : ) http://www.facebook.com/nicoleroyerart
Please feel free to comment if you have any suggestions on locations you think my work would look good in. I’m open to displaying my Art in crazy places.
Last thing, my original blog was here http://nicoleroyer.blogspot.com/
Now I think it's moved to here so I'll post on this new one.

So glad we met this past year! I have to agree that was one of the nice things about 2011. Love your blog! Can't wait to see some of your art around the local galleries again!
