Bon Voyage Party…3/19 ATL, Mark Your Calendar
Millicent, the Sprinter van, begins the first leg of her nationwide tour by lumbering down I-75 South toward Chattanooga for interviews with three local news affiliates. (Thanks for the connections, Kim.) Although, I haven’t yet broken the word to them that Millicent can’t talk. So, I’ve been working on my ventriloquism skills.
After the Volunteer state, Millicent will make a stop in…
Atlanta on Saturday, March 19th for a Millicent
bon voyage party from 1:00-4:00pm.
The tailgate location is TBD. Some friends have insisted that a Walmart parking lot would be apropos. Perhaps so, but we’ll find somewhere fun! Come one, come all! Mark your calendars.
We Are Intertwined…Rosé, (you’ll know the artist who painted the label)
My painting, The Journey Aglow, is featured on The New York Foundling x City Winery exclusive summer rosé, entitled "We are Intertwined." Click here to purchase it through June 2022. A portion of the proceeds from each bottle will be donated to The New York Foundling, which has helped children, adults, and families reach their full potential since 1869. The Foundling’s team is a delight, and it has been a pleasure working with them, City Winery, and Agora on this creative project.
New Website Unfolding…for Millicent Updates
We are birthing a new website, thanks to the creative skills of Morgane DiMeglio-Hope.
Check out one of the new pages at PalpantArt.
That is the website where I will share art updates and the latest news from my Millicent van journey. Follow along!
Interconnection and Intuition, NYC Exhibition
Yesterday, I returned home from my art exhibition at Agora Gallery in New York City. A big thanks to my sister, Rebecca, for joining me. The exhibition was a raving success, and many proclaimed it was the best yet. The Agora team is so incredibly professional and passionate about their artists. Have I mentioned before that I love working with them?
Check out the sneak peek video.
Millicent’s Metamorphosis…and the price of gas
There were many times during the last nine months that I wondered if Millicent would emerge from her metamorphosis. Thankfully, patience has proven to be a virtue and also one lesson life seems to offer me over and over. (Can you identify?) I think Millicent has been worth the wait, but our whole world has changed since I birthed the idea. (Quite a bit!)
At this point, gas prices have risen 83% since I first created my 50-state tour budget.
The idea has struck me that I may need to host a bake sale at each state
along the way to feed Millicent’s gluttonous appetite.
There are other stories to share, such as giving a stranger the Heimlich at a French café, two of my paintings heading for a snazzy Chelsea restaurant, and another television interview in Orlando. (What will I wear??) But those stories will have to wait until later.
Until then, I look forward to seeing you soon.
Chug-a-chug-a-chug- I think I can….
