I thought I told you that I won't stop....

God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind that I will never die.
Bill Watterson


Anyone who knows me is aware that I have dreams filled with grandeur. At first glance this quote seems a bit narcissistic because every story and life comes to an end. But I feel like my ideas and goals will far surpass my own earthly life, because they are grounded in helping others, making real change, and most importantly not centered in selfish gain. If I could influence, guide, or affect other people with my passions, I know my accomplishments will live on far past myself. But in the meantime I'm going to be working my butt off to make moves in my earthly life. Jump on the train before you get left behind!

OVER 30 WOMEN ARTISTS SHARE VISIONS OF FEMINISM IN THE WOMENS SHOW 2 ART EXHIBIT OPENING SEPTEMBER 9


August 24, 2006 -- Eagle Rock (Northeast Los Angeles). 30 Los Angeles women artists have joined together in an exploration of the spectrum in all its brilliance and subtlety. The exhibit, The Women Show 2, will open for an extended run at Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock(Northeast Los Angeles), with a reception for the artists on Saturday, September 16, 2006.

The 30 or so participants in the exhibition span generations, cultures, and artistic media, but they find themselves brought together both as women and as artists who express themselves through color, photography and sculpture in all its subtle and startling complexity. The works are bold and thought provoking. This should be a must see show on every art aficionados list.

Cactus is a vibrant space for creative people. We seek to inspire & enliven the community by giving opportunities to experience the eclectic diversity that is the arts. In our creative space, weve enjoyed the spontaneity of live drawing; live painting and live music. Cactus is ever evolving and ready for the next idea.

The Womens Show will run from September 9 through October 13, 2006, with an Artists Reception scheduled for September 16, 7:00 10:00 p.m.
