flickr page






ok I think I have this figured out...


here is the link to my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/artbymonimack/

Happy Saturday




The P.S. Exhibit turned out great and it will continue to go through Friday 9/25th. Please stop by and check it out.

The next show is be the Riverwest Asrtist All members show and I will have a couple pieces in that show. I am so excited and can not wait to meet a lot of new artist.


I recently joined Milwaukee Metro Area Arts & Crafts Meetup. Our first project is going to be a coloborative book and I finally thought of my idea. I will be doing fashion and inspiration from fashion magazines. I just love fashion and I know this will be a fantastic outlet. Stay tuned for my first page.

Septemeber is here

So for those of you who do not know, I love the fall and especially the month of September because it is my birthday month. I posted this picture because it feels very "FALL".

I have been asked to join a committee meeting for the Jazz Gallery in a couple of weeks. If voted in, I believe I will be sitting for the gallery as well as helping helping to judge artwork, curate new shows and other good stuff.

I have always wanted to participate in a gallery with really enthusiastic artists and I think this may be my big chance.


So keep your fingers crossed that I get voted in!

Flickr link

Hi Friends! Hope you are having a blessed day!

You can now view my artwork on Flickr.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/artbymonimack/collections/

I still have a ton of artwork to take photos of and add so stayed tuned for that and NEW work!

There is a mixture of work from my doodles in school, to the sketches I couldn't help but do on a Thursday after school when I should have been doing homework as well as assignments for school.

This work dates back to when I was about 5 years old. I think it is neat to see the mind's workings of a child so enjoy those doodles that I hold close to my heart.

I tried to organize these by collections. If you know more about Flickr I welcome comments and advice on how to better organize my work!

please pray-waiting on an two answers



As I begin this new adventure of applying to be in shows and learning how to take all that I am and put it on paper in either words or pictures I get the overwhelming since of butterflies in the stomach and happiness mixed with fear and defeat.

I know many people may not like my artwork because in the art business let's face it, it is all subjective. I am slowing learning how to keep creating and not fear the rejection that I am sure is to come sooner or later.

As for now keep me in your prayers. I applied for two more shows which will open during gallery night, this October 09, and I want so badly to be in the shows.

Soon enough I will have more examples of my current art on here...actually just finished a mixed media piece, "Singing in the Fields". It is kinda hard to keep the blog super updated because I work another job all day and find myself consistently busy with something.

I look forward to getting all my photos on a flickr account in addition to many other projects.

I thank Shana G. for being such an inspiration to me and showing me how to get connected. lol...it is addictive.

Happy news


I found out yesterday that a mixed media painting I made entitled "Angry" has been accepted to be in a show at the Adonai Arts Center on November 16, 2009. Happy Happy Joy Joy!...I know how ironic...
