Jen Worden - Mixed Media Artist

Jen January 1st, 2008

I sat down this morning and cracked my new 2008 journal pondering my goals for the New Year. A retrospective glance told me it was a pretty good year overall. I was given the "All Clear" from the doc for my DVT, did my first - and likely last - 14 day cleanse, visited Cuba, and NYC, participated in a number of  collaborative ventures including The Gorey Project,  20Things, The Global Shoe Project, finished 31 pieces for Artsomofo and made some wonderful and hopefully enjoyed Christmas presents.

My art goals for the year are modest. I am once again participating in the 100 Artists Show for Zeek Gallery and that is my first priority tomorrow when I head out to the studio. The theme this year is "What’s Inside" and while I’m pretty sure I know what I will be doing with the box I have under 2 weeks to complete and send it off to Salem OR.

Second on my list is to complete 2 more in my "Angel of …" series - the first two being Angel of Mercy and Angel of Death. Someday I hope to show these in their entirety. Five mixed media canvases to use up all the images I have kicking around my computer and then having thoroughly enjoyed the wee house ornaments I made as Christmas presents, I think I’d like to make one of those per month maybe themed around the months themselves.

I’m also planning on adding some extra content here. A weekly challenge as much for myself as for anyone else. I work best when I have deadlines it seems. As well as I’ll be continuing my Eye Candy offerings. I really enjoyed getting out’n'about while fantasizing about fabric and craft this pre-holiday season. So. Yah. Lots of stuff on the burner. Stay tuned and may you have an inspiration-filled 2008!
