Look I'm famoose

There is a profile/article in the newspaper out here on me this week so all the guys in 7-11 are teasing me.;).
eep!.
It's online too so I'll link to it easthamptonstar.com/feature
The real article (in the paper) included two black and white pics of my artwork also, one of 'Mending (detail)' and one of 'Kayla's Community' so that was nice. I kindof hate the pic of me there...I was feeling awkward/self-conscious/stiff. But anyhoo the article is pretty good overall so I'm happy. You never know how a writer will present stuff from an interview...and our talk was really, really casual when he came over so I had no idea what he would put in.

Too bad he didn't get the meaning of Puja right. That's very important to me...but I should have explained fully I guess.
Maybe I'll send him this link that puts it quite well. Just for future reference I suppose since it's too late for the article.
But anyway...nice to be sortof famous. hahagulp

This is so cool. I want to say "I'm proud of you!' but I don't know if that's appropriate 'cause I don't know you that well. But I'm proud of you:-)

Must be real nice to see your ART recognized. I hope to someday to be published, which is why the article is an encouragement. I'm sure that you've worked very hard. I don't know...to make a living, or at least see some returns, from your Art must be gratifying. Anyway, keep up the good work.

aw thanks so much!
I haven't quite gotten the 'make a living' thing down yet...but I certainly feel 'success'. I'm doing what I love and people are responding and being moved by it and often buying them to keep!:)

I think you definitely will be published, your writing is so amazing.
SO much is dedication and persistence....
and then a lot is that weird universe 'happenstance' where you're talking to some stranger and make a connection and odd things fall into place...
