From the inside out

by rosedeniz November 25, 2009 art

Tweet Four years of nurturing a ‘homepreneur‘ habit, and 2+ years of gently deflecting kind people who still ask why I don’t teach English, I’ve just started to feel it is the right fit to work at home.  I venture to guess that most artists don’t think of themselves as entrepreneurs (will have to save […]

A guest at Colette

by rosedeniz November 18, 2009 art

Drawing from life

by rosedeniz November 2, 2009 art

So I’m posing a little challenge to myself that for an unspecified period of time I draw the things I love and want to share.
