May 2008

The Portland trip was a success! I found lots of inspiration and lots of fun. And I discovered I still have lots of learning to do. The most rewarding part of the trip was seeing that a successful gallery can have a foundation based in community and not compromise the integrity of the art or the business.

May and the nice weather have also brought some distractions! Some delightful: canoeing, running, gardening, BBQs, and outdoor backyard movies. Some disgusting: carpenter ant infestation. And some long over-due: kitchen re-model. So it seems my challenge for this month will to be to find balance amidst all these distractions.
