I can't believe I pushed the publish button, but I finally did it! Announcing my new book, published by blurb.com! I have been wanting to make a book of some of my art pieces and the stories behind them for quite a while. After I saw the book Nancy Natale of New England Wax published about the bi-coastal Diptych Project, I decided blurb would be the online publisher for me, at least this time around.
Here it is!
Compiling the pictures and writing the text was fun. Revising at the behest of my local editor was also pretty fun. Checking for typos, correct page ##, spelling, etc. was not as much fun. But the button is pushed! The book is ready. Here's the link, if you'd like a preview.

I'll have hard and soft cover books available at my Onda Gallery opening July 31. Can't wait to get my copy!
Serena - Good for you! Congratulations on your wonderful book. I'm so glad that my blurb book on the Diptych Project inspired you. I hope there will be hundreds of new art books forthcoming now, and I'm glad that you are blazing the trail. Best wishes for success, Nancy
Just fabulous, Serena! I can't wait to have a copy of my own. You know how I adore your art! Hope you are already dreaming up volume number two. Way to go...hugs to you.

I blend my long career as a counselor with my passion for art. Visual art was my first love as a child. Eventually this gave way to theater, then to my work as a counselor and raising children.
I rediscovered my desire to make art after my first trip to Italy. I taught myself to paint and create mixed media work in my forties, earning me the right to insist that it is never too late to delve into what inspires us.
One of my great joys is to provide an atmosphere where you can discover or rekindle your own creative abilities.
