First step post grad

So, for anyone interested (I don’t get notified of comments through phone and haven’t checked my last entry) I have a new Facebook page!  “Samanthas fine art and portraiture” so far there are no images but I’m hoping to have albums up and figure out PayPal or Etsy (maybe both) by the end of the week.  Yay for parttime employment of sharing my talents!  Feel free to share my page with family and friends, I look forward to working with you!

Finished

So excited to be done.  Slowly destressing, feeling aches and pains come and go.  So glad I’m on my anxiety pills.  The difference is amazing.  No, I don’t feel drugged, but I can think and aren’t worrying all the time and get sleep!!!

I realized though that I posted my art pics but didn’t include a description.  They are the processing of moving forward.  My inner conflicts between the past pain and anxieties and discovering new things feelings and activities that I couldn’t do before. Discovering myself and being able to accept my past forgive and accept that I was given a second chance to move forward; and while moving forward is frightening it is also exciting!

I’m A Graduate!!!!!

I am finally done.  A graduate with a degree in Master of Science, art therapy/ counseling!!!!!!  The picture attached is from my art that made it into the senior show.
Moving back from east coast to Midwest was really long but enjoyable!  I had to give away a couple things from lack of room in vehicles (including canvases >. <) but that is a lesson learned. (Rummage sales and start selling work online!)
Needless to say, a goal of mine is to start my inactive Etsy account with my fine art(paintings), charcoal portraits potentially jewelry, prints (post card /poster of paintings or nature photography) relatively soon.  (Anyone interested the link will be posted somewhere for your use, please comment to show interest, not to sign up)
Ahhh so glad school is done, yet I’m still experiencing problems with it.  My research and grades.  Want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!
But it’s over.  I was downgraded due to an assumption I wasn’t aware of; my director says I didn’t do actual research.  Bullshit!!!  Anyway, I will soon have transcripts and my diploma and am job hunting.
