It's been a while since I posted a new journal entry here, so I thought I'd pop in with an update. My apologies for not uploading any new art since February. Things have been busy lately, but in a good way!

The main reason for being so busy lately is that I'm going to be going to grad school! In February I was completing all of my application stuff that I needed to do. I applied to RIT for their art education program. It's a one year program, and they only take a little over a dozen students. A couple of weeks ago I heard from the school that I was accepted! And with a partial scholarship as well!

I'll be starting school at the beginning of September. This summer I'll be teaching at the art gallery for my fourth summer. Besides returning to a job that I love, I'll also be able to use my job towards some things for school. We're being strongly encouraged to do at least 25 hours of teaching this summer and to document it all. I'm lucky enough to already have my job teaching art classes for children lined up for six weeks during the summer, so I won't have to search for any summer teaching opportunities.

Besides getting things in order for school, I've been working a lot. I have artwork in progress, too, so hopefully I'll get a chance to finish off some of those pictures soon so that I can share them here.

Anyhow, that's what I've been up to lately. And as always, I post journal type stuff at my Live Journal if you're ever wondering what I'm up to.
