As you may know, I left my teaching career last year. It took several months to figure out what the next step in my life would be. I landed on art. With the experience of photographing weddings and fine art with Ron Warren Photography, I felt this was a good choice. I started painting and going to galleries. Ron and I entered photographs in a couple of Call For Entries and made it into two shows this year so far. In April, we were in the Lawrence Street Gallery's "Exposure '11" in Ferndale and in August, we were featured in the "Roots of Detroit Show" in Farmington. Applying for various art type jobs has rendered no results thus far. So, in order to work my way into the field. I applied for an internship at MOCAD the Museum of Contemporary Arts Detroit.
A new-ish museum, it is only five years old. So, this fall, I will be assisting the Educational Director and helping out with show openings, family day activities and whatever else is needed from September-December. So, adventure, here I come!!!

P.S. For all of you who haven't been there yet, it's in mid-town, about three blocks south of Warren - five blocks south of the DIA -Detroit Institute of Arts. Within walking distance is the N'namdi Gallery, DAM - Detroit Artist Market, and the new 71 Pop.
