The Davinci Artists Gallery is an artist owned gallery in the heart of downtown Tomball, TX.  When visiting the gallery you are likely to catch one of the artists at work on a sculpture, painting, pottery or mixed media piece. 

Four new members were recently accepted into the cooperative, Melinda English, Reva Power, Jimmy McDonald and little 'ole me (Deborah Hill). 
I have great admiration for so many of the artists showing at DaVinci's and am delighted to be joining forces with this extremely talented group.

The first Friday of each month is the Gallery's open house in which two or three members are selected to be featured. This months featured artists are Jack Morris and Mary Walters. The event is open to the public and is quite a nice little soiree with local music, wine and nosh. ... psst...it's usually a packed house.

And of course the artwork is amazing, with almost 20 artists represented you know you'll find that special piece that needs to be part of your collection. 

For the month of February I have several pieces of assemblage on display and new paintings too. Don't miss a visit-each month much of the art is rotated out and the group brings in new pieces. Open house is the best time to meet and talk with the artist. See you there!

Evaluating the previous year has always been a challenge as I'm a stay in the moment sort of gal to a fault. Which means it is equally as challenging to make a plan for the upcoming year. Alas, I am forced to join everyone else and at least make an attempt to screw my brain back in after the holiday break to have a look at 2013. The only real disappointment is that we still don't have hover cars en masse.

So what are my plans? 

• I sculpted more last year than ever before and the public and my peers responded positively. I think I will do more-just makes sense.
• The little studio is bulging at the seams, I took on private lessons in there and quarters are tight. A larger space came open in the same location. I think I'll take it-just makes sense.
• I've been invited to do a one woman show in a pretty prestigious location this year. I think I'll do it-just makes sense.
• More folks want to do more Powertex workshops with me. So yep I think I'll do that too-just makes sense.

There are a few other things on my drawing board. I'm having a look at them and trying to make decisions based on how they fit with my lifestyle today. So in essence I guess I'm still staying in the moment and doing what-just makes sense.

I wish all of you a very prosperous and thought filled new year. And if something just makes sense to you....go ahead and do it!
