After living in the safety of a college dorm, life anywhere else was a very rude awakening. Being an adult is never something that came naturally to me seeing the amount of trial-and-error trauma-drama I had to go through before I learned oh-so-many valuable life lessons in my youth. I lived at home with my parents, then in a college dorm, then a weird, scary transitional summer of staying with randos before we found an apartment in the Bronx. I can’t tell you how many times I asked myself why I didn’t take the other road, but way too late…
Galleries and museums have always been a great way for me to explore cities I visited and lived. When I moved to Salt Lake City, I attended their monthly city-wide gallery strolls with camera on hip and ready to hang with the local community where we responded as such to the ever changing art scene.

Restaurant openings! Movie premieres!) in the neighborhood. So many champagne toasts…

Enjoy! – K From The Sketchbook Project, hosted by The Brooklyn Art Library: Last month we shared our 5 Art Fears and ways to get over them. We had such a great response that we decided to dive deeper into each one. Starting with number 1, “I’m not an artist.” This is such a common thing for all creative people to say. We are always second guessing our worthiness of being an artist or not. But we are here…

“We’re finally drunk enough that, We’re finally soaking up, The hours that everyone else throws away. And if we have to go now, I guess there’s always hope, Tomorrow night will be more of the same.” – After Hours, We Are Scientists
From this moment forward you are no longer an extra in your life story. You are the lead! Bravo!
