But in that “I got a ton accomplished” way. I had an amazing time at the California Association of Museums Conference on Thursday. I met some great people in the museum field and took to heart some amazing advice.  I hope to continue to develop the relationships I have fostered, as well as get to work on some of the amazing ideas inspired by the sessions.

Check out CAM’s Facebook page to see some great photos of Maker Stations, evening events, and some awesome people.

CAM 2012: ‘Museums Making it Happen’ will showcase the Golden State’s creativity and innovation in museum institutions. I am really looking forward to the networking opportunities and chances to learn and develop my skills in the museum industry.  If you’re planning on attending, let me know!

A recent photography class gave me the tools and tricks to take professional pictures of my work.  I learned enough to update my portfolio and made a whole bunch of new friends in the Grass Valley area!  After a few rounds of Photoshop, the pictures are ready to be uploaded for your enjoyment!  Check them out!  Let me know what you think.

On a related note, my new friends introduced me to a gallery in Grass Valley who was looking for artists with small artworks for a holiday show.  I have six small pieces in the Artists Studios in the Foothills, or the ASIF gallery. If you’re in the area you should check out the show. It features almost 1,000 pieces from artists throughout northern California.

And thanks to WordPress, it all looks way cooler than I could ever code.

 

Feel free to let me know what you think.  A little critique never hurt anyone.
