It was great. And fun seeing you there. You were mobbed at the end or I would have introduced myself. It’s a very cool relationship you have with Nick.

After taking your first class and reading your book, I have been “living my Art” and it pays off every day! I always carry a purse I’ve painted or wear a piece of jewelry I’ve made. Even if that’s impossible, I’ll wear items so people will ask me questions and I can talk about being an Artist. Going to work on COLLABORATION with other Artists and the community!!! Huge step forward…

Thanks Alyson. I appreciate how you distilled the conversation so clearly into some sharable take aways. I am also inspired by the energy your post incites right here.

Being a theatre person, I can imagine what goes on in his world. I am inspired to live my art gracefully.

Just WOW! That was a treat for the eyes, ears and brain. The bar has been set a little higher. I need to teach my paintings to dance.

I think your comments are a wonderfully respectful way to look at it. We all have to do the time, but we each need to create in our own timeframe. I personally think it is all about doing what you want to do and finding your own personal balance and space within that context.

Thanks so much Alyson!
NIck seems so thoughtful and caring about the world of others, even as he pushes himself and his crew to new heights. There is no negative there, it is just his form of energy and creative juices. Not everyone has or ever will have that jack in the box pop, so it is imperitive to know your own self. He is young, entusiastic, and probably encounters problems with a “lets see what we can do about that” direction. HIs proteges are very lucky!
I have a daughter in law like that. She has a drive and honest work ethic that makes anyone tired, but she changes people’s lives. ( Mostly dancing children.) She drives from Victor most days and drives home again up that winding mountain in snow, rain, and heat. Then tends to her 3 greenhouses and chickens. She is a good momma and wife to my son in a wheelchair as well.

“How do you keep the space active after the opening?”
Important question! I gave all visitors a ticket for an auction on the last night to bring people back. I also arranged to meet people to talk to them about the work during the weeks of the show. I would have liked to do live demos but it was freeeeeezing in the space so I had to skip that tho’ I was sometimes to be found sketching.
With group shows, we’ve done workshops (adults & kids) and meet the artists nights…One thing I like the idea of and haven’t done yet is to get visitors to collaborate on a piece of art during the show. I’d also like to create an interactive exhibition with sounds and smells and things to walk through…
