Movin' On
It's been a long path to publication, but this end is just the beginning! As I continue to write new stories and promote THE STAR FESTIVAL, my goals include finding my dream agent and illustrating my own books. 

As I learn about art and illustration, I will share my insights, processes, successes, and failures. On occasion, I will spotlight my influences. I hope you continue on this journey with me. 
​​
​The piece of writing below is a set of rules by Corita Kent, also known as Sister Corita. I was turned on to her work by a distant cousin, unknown to me until recently, who is the daughter of Henry and Mona Lovins of the now historic Hollywood Art Center School. 

I became fascinated with Sister Corita because of the dichotomy that she represents, a nun and a creative. I'm not religious, and what little I do know about nuns doesn't usually include the word "artist." Corita is known for her 1985 USPS "Love" stamp. In addition, she created pop art, silk-screening advertisements juxtaposed with verse to bring awareness to social issues. Equally important, she worked with students at the Immaculate Heart College Art Center in the 50's and 60's, encouraging them to play, see the world from a different perspective, and create. 

Corita's rules remind me that everything is an experiment. I hope you get some value from her list too. Be sure to read to the very end!
