HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What have I been up to? Well, let's just say that I have not permitted age (almost 60) to stop me from doing what I love.
Since my last post, I have successfully completed phase I of my master's degree and am currently working on phase II. As well, I have been given a clean bill of health from the specialist and look forward to conquering more health demons. To top that off, I am now divorced and I did it on my own with a lot of patience and online research. And as you can see below, I have just received the 2016 Artist in Residence and my first one-woman show is scheduled for April, 2016 (I shall keep you posted).
Yes, I've been very busy and I continue advocating on behalf of the homeless and the mental ill because their voices are not heard and they are not seen ... "Invisible". I am determined to remove the stigma about mental health so that people can get the help they need without shame or fear.
Before I let you go, I would also like to add that upon graduating with an art certificate from university, prior to commencing my masters, I was awarded the York University Robert J. Tiffin Student Leadership Award and received a scholarship to continue my education in 2015-2016.
The bottom line here is to not give up on your dreams and do what makes you happy. For me, that is my art and I am honoured to have been chosen to showcase my work. ~ Gloria
