Painting with my niece - she paints a nights sky and I am just getting started on an abstraction of the San Juan Islands. We are getting ready to help throw an Art Party May 3rd. The Party/Fund Raiser is to help Adrian reach his goal of being able to attend Four Winds Camp this summer. http://www.gofundme.com/adriansummercamp Summer Dreams + Art = Awesome #fourwindsartparty #studiorousseau

So I totally fall out of the social graces of social media and find myself at the beach in Edmonds. Come now, you're not a social outcast, too. If you are within driving distance of Edmonds, it's a perfect summer night out. Join us for art and an Artist Reception this Thursday, July 17 from 5-8 pm! https://www.facebook.com/studiomercado#!/events/756592491030376/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming

Thank you to Sand Point Arts and Cultural Exchange for a memorable Grand Opening Celebration last night. We celebrated among friends, toasted Champagne, laughed more than you might imagine and danced to electro-swing. And my thanks to everyone who came to visit my new studio digs in Building 30!! What a gift to start out with all that good energy in this beautiful space. My studio door pictured above is a door you are always welcome to come through.

It's on. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/497651

I left pieces of myself there. Meeting up in the Gallery District in Chelsea I was both lost and found. Deep breaths of reprieve I must have left all along The High Line. And The Metropolitan Museum of Art's inspired brilliance stole my beating heart and every adjective I had left.

Bloody brilliant! Getting ready to move in to my new studio at Seattle's Newest Home for Arts and Culture. Building 30 is no small feat. Many dedicated people focused on the big picture and kept an eye to the future to bring it all together. Most certainly a good reason to celebrate - I feel a party coming on...do you?

The Met, Art Galleries, Soul-Searching on the High Line, New Yorkers, & New Confidences. I love NY.

Thank you to everyone that came out to the "In Between" Exhibition last week. It was a gift to see everyone and personally share the newest transitions and progressions in my work. If you would like to keep up with the latest installations, check out http://www.canapo.net. Carmel's art scene doesn't disappoint.

You should answer that. Come to Carmel's Art Soirée Artists (as in 3) Reception October 5th from 4-8 PM at Canapo Gallery between Ocean and 7th. Your Invitation: https://www.facebook.com/events/362308763900414/ "In Between Beginnings" is in light of my return to painting, as well as new trajectories in my life, and the new directions of my brush (e.g., spring = big abstracts and colour). I'm currently being represented in Carmel for a permanent exhibition. Let's enjoy the journey together - http://she-hit-refresh.tumblr.com

Inspiration for my new art studio floor plan. I love the wrapped positioning and light below eye level - multiple downward lamps minimize shadow when ambient natural light is absent. Nice creative space. Thanks Jeremiah!
