REFLECTING ON 2021

   Looking back to 2021, I can see the progress in my art journey.   Two of my artworks were chosen to be exhibited  at the Boynton Beach Arts and Cultural Center . Earlier in the year I was short listed in the Palm Beach County Paint in Public Places project- in which I received a monetary award. Summer of 2021 allowed me the time to really dig in and experiment with a lot of different painting styles. Entering an abstract painting into an online Art2Life International exhibit was a real highlight. The exhibition was juried by Juan Kelly, owner of Santa Fe gallery Nuart.  I also had the pleasure of painting some artworks for several family members. During the holiday season I set up a booth at the Boynton Beach Arts District and sold several pieces.  I think I'm getting closer to finding that "artistic voice" I hear so much about. For 2022, I'm hoping to do some plein air paintings with an onsite Meetup group.  In the meantime, I'm getting messy with paint and seeing where else this artsy adventure leads me. - blessings to you,  ~Marilyn
