grace in france
Busy time here, so there I'll let the photos do the talking - Daughter Grace is graduating from college tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow! She will have earned herself a BA in English a BA in French and a minor in Creative writing. Yes we are proud of her. We have an opening during the day 10-4 tomorrow as well at artstream featuring the beautiful spring work of Emily Marie Cox called Spring is in the Air
!
Along side that we are hosting a group of comic book/illustrative artsits for Free Comic Book Day, supported by Jet Pack Comics- a way cool store across the street from us filled with amazing artists and fun loving people.
My book: Art Lab for Kids is finished and getting it's final touches before sending it off to my lovely publisher. Can't tell you how wonderful that is! Happy happy times here!

Daughter Chloe has finished up her work for her AP art class and I had to show you one of her pieces here: the deer head which she made from plaster and paint is just incredible.
Among other things, I can't wait to have it up in our home somewhere! She's going to have a booth at the Strawberry Banke Sundays in Portsmouth this summer too - so look for her there!
Summer classes are starting to fill up at the studio too - so grab a spot now while you can still select something and get your art on!

See you next week!

I just found you through PoppyTalk - and am delighted. I also teach art to children and congratulate you on your book. I look forward to my future visits here.
Lots of good things are happening for the Shwake family! Congratulations to your daughter, Grace, on her graduation. This is an exciting time for her. And yes, that deer head that Chloe made is terrific. It reminds me of English gardens and chintz - with an extra boost of coolness. Really, I can see it featured in the pages of Elle Decor UK.
Wow! I definitely love the earrings of Chloe. I also adore the deer.haha
Thanks for sharing,
