Okay, so it's been a huge transition for me moving across the world, and right now I'm in between places in SL as I am in real life. In the mean time through all the exciting and re-acclimating I've been working with my language students through SL one of whom dreams of opening a travel agency when he grows up. So to practice English we've been designing his travel agency building and the items in it. He has to describe in his target language, (English,) exactly what he wants in the way of wall colorings, building structure and size, posters, desks, chairs, tables, magazines and other interior things he'd like to see inside. This makes for great practice through conversation and we've been having a fantastic time creating his "brick and mortar" environment!
I've also been invited to be in an adult show in SL. I didn't realize it was adult until I showed up to try to hang my works and saw just how adult it was! I consider my work more spiritual than "Adult" but perhaps it fits well and I'm just not aware of it. Still this show is quiet interesting for me being exposed to a side of SL I'm not familiar with, (ah shucks, I'm so innocent!) and I'm happy to be apart of it!
This period of time has left this artist feeling somewhat "in between." I need to find a new place to set up shop and live inworld and I'm in the process of re-dimensioning myself to my new life in a foreign country. Both transitions are not easy, but thank god, although I take SL very seriously, that transition is definitely easier and even perhaps with all the new birthing pains.., more enjoyable!
Happy New Year and here's to the future of ALL of our strange life's!

My Work Featured In A Blog Post!
I had so much fun during SL8B! Watching people play with my creation as just was such a kick, and watching how the piece changed depending on the avatar was especially eye opening. But as an added bonus My work was recently featured in a blog post by one of my visitors and I must share the link Alexandra was one of the visiters to my exhibit during SL8B. An excellant writer, her blog in general is a pleasure to read, let me know what you think.

Contagious Magic, My SL8B Adventure!
![]() |
| "Cityscape" An Intervrtive Art Series |
Was invited to SL8B this year, my first year! I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but had a blast doing it. I introduced 6 new paintings, all from the intervrtive series, (yup, still exploring intervrtive!) 3 from the original nature series, and 3 from a new series of work called "Urban."
I've had lots of great comments so far, and even made it into a blog, (very cool) SL8B runs through July 2nd, so please drop by and see my exhibit. While you're there, pick up the free gift. As usual, click on the different elements of the paintings; the glasses, branches, easel, birds, etc, to "finish" the painting. When you're done with my stuff, check out the surrounding exhibits, pretty awesome!
