Today, I went to the studio and looked and photographed them. They are simply stunning. You can really see the hope that resides in these photos. I find my self compelled to do something with them. I am stewing over the idea and playing with the images that I took of them. This is Manila, I am not sure of how long he stayed in each of these places but the images speak a story of inquiry, empathy and well composed images. <br />

At work this evening, my boss asked me to come back to the kitchen and look at our salad dressing. This is what I found! I love how alchemy, art and science all find their way into the kitchen. Zoom into that image and a beautiful abstract painting will appear reminiscent of landscapes throughout the plains! Thanks for sharing with me, Rebecca!</div>

The gallery and hair salon upstairs from my studio and creative space has asked me to hang some work in their newly freshened in salon! I chose to show my collages all 12"x12" and very simple basic imagery. Minimal collage is what I life to reference them as. I am currently framing each of them and will hang them later this week! Excited to be a part of such an awesome creative family:)</div>

This evening I went to a reception for the artist in residency at Platte Forum, here in Denver. The reception was held at Oz Architecture, where my aunt works, and was awesome to be a part of. This is definitely something that I want to pursue in volunteering and/or working in residency with. Their community influence is unbelievable and have and still are making a huge difference in the art world in Colorado. Plate forum is a wonderful group of people bridging. 5 artist for every 4-6 weeks. Multiple different schools and have the ability to graduate at a 99% graduation rate. They follow through with their students and achieve awareness socially with<br />

Sometimes there are a lot of things to organize and implement and sometimes there in nothing. It is weird. I used to be bothered by the lack and then I realized balance in life isn't always a day to day thing. It's on a grand scale sometimes you work, sometimes you play! Part of the excitement about this Monday ritual is my relationship with my planner. My bible. It holds the rhythm to my life and although all the information may be in my head, the act of writing and seeing is important in being mindful in my schedule. Cheers to a great week, filled with work, art and good times with loved ones!<br />

I love to be able to keep the small things of my travels and life and collage them into sketchbooks and then doodle/draw/design around the collage. I started this when I traveled in 2014 through Germany, Greece and Italy. It was an easy way to keep track of the tangible memory of my adventures. I continue this and will go through about 2-4 sketchbooks a year (the one below is a calendar I bought in Berlin, that I turned into a sketchbook). Below are a few of my 'sketches' out of many! These are from my travels to Prague and Budapest this past summer. <br />

</div>
The first ever formal exhibition of Lower Level Creative Space was tonight! Excellent work by Julia Kinne! It was a low attended event all around for the this First Friday's, but those days you get to really sit and talk to people about the work and art in general. Which is fantastic! We met some potential artists that will exhibit, which is thrilling and lots of awesome artists that passed through. Santa Fe arts district really exudes artistic community which is the number one reason I wanted to be in this area. Every month Lower Level CS will have new artists trying to achieve their dream in the arts. It is gonna be awesome! <br />

A space where people can exhibit their work in the Santa Fe Arts District in Denver, Colorado. Seven weeks ago I had an urge to clean up, white wash and create a space to exhibit work adjacent to my studio space. The first artist to show their work is Julia Kinne. A friend and fellow Iowa alumna her work radiates color, pattern, passion and true ambition to find a better you. Her paintings which include small installations into them compose a garden of visual delight and exude liveliness. Her work will be up all month and exited to see it daily as I pass through the garden to get to my studio. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Among Julia being the featured artist, Amy Good, Krystal Moore and myself will always have work exhibited. The cohesive ability to find good and radiate good in all of our work is prevalent when you enter the space. Lower level yes, but lofty and filled with passion creates a feeling all of its own. </div>
<div>
It is my hope to continue to build relationships with artists and network with people to create exhibitions that not only give opportunity to an artist, but to enhance the district with a free space that commits to community and artists. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am thankful for the ambition and drive to transform this space. I see a future filled with lots of fun and great art!</div>

It is amazing how much one can grow in 365 days. Just finished my second Berlin residency for my MFA through Transart Institute. This residency, made it all real. I am a real artist, making real art and trying to make a real difference. I always have identified myself as a painter, to make marks that make sense or not, but to apply a pigment to a substrate. When I perform that action, is it making a difference? If I make a mark that I say means something and put confidence into it, is it making a difference? This is the lesson I have learned, EVERY mark makes a difference. Not only in the art world but in the world in general. <br />
We as humans have lost the encouragement to make a mark. We choose instead the instant gratification of posting/reading/writing/talking about it. Evading the mark, forgetting the doing. When you actually have the intent to make the world a better place, the marks add up to create something wonderful. We are all human, we are all on the planet together, and we can make a difference. Together. When will we have confidence in being our own person, and stop conforming to a clique to justify ourselves? When will we see that the lack of knowledge is the basis of misunderstanding. <br />
My project that I have started here in Berlin, Rooted in RED, is a social project, I am literally painting red ochre pictographs on urban landscapes. Not to deface property, but to create awareness of how we can achieve a one-ness through color, specifically red ochre. I had so many doubts and questions that I didn't know where to start. Then I realized, Rome wasn't built in a day! So I made a<br />
'mark' and the more of these 'marks' I make, I realize it does make a difference. If we all can make a genuine mark in our life, you leave the world a better place. When you refuse to do, you are losing what life is about. If we were meant to have our own world, we would, but we don't, we share it with billions of people so every negative action you take bring everyone down. All of us. Every single one of us. <br />
My goal isn't to preach, this isn't religious, or to campaign this isn't politics, my goal is to unite by making one mark at a time. <br />

We are just getting the submissions in and this is fabulous! Wonderful submissions and great art to be seen. Berlin will be another magnificent year and I am looking forward to seeing everyone and seeing what work may turn out from this exceptional art intensive. There is something amazing about the community in which you surround yourself in, whether it be my artistic community or literally the town I live in, it seeps into your being. Below is the symbol that I have created for my We are RED series and will be showcased starting in Berlin. <br />

With all of the rain, its been hard to sync up mother natures schedule and mine, but today it happened! I am thrilled with how well the paintings look in the natural environment in which its materials originated. They fit into the mountain-scape wonderfully!<br />

I have been collaging in a minimal graphic way and was inspired by the large color fields and layering of narrative of a great band of modern time, Devo. He has a sensational ability to master most mediums. <br />

I am one lucky lady to have fabulous friends all over the world send me birthday wishes. Those wishes collected into a wonderful sense of support and love. Its been a transition settling into Denver, but every change needs time to let the dust settle, to clearly see what is front of you. I have an amazing job that keeps me involved in my second love to art, wine, and I create daily in my sweet studio. Life doesn't get better. I get to live my dream day by day, and that my friends is a surreal feeling. I am excited for another year of creating, curating, exhibiting, traveling and spending time in beautiful Colorado. <div>

I am home. I am back to reality. I have hugged as many people as I possibly could since I stepped off the plane! It is wonderfu! I had a four country, incredibly long journey home and it was an absolute awesome feeling to be back on American soil. Amazing to see my family and friends after such an adventure! Just too good! I am now on my way through the next phase: paint, work, yoga, San Francisco, Thanksgiving, Christmas, move to Denver, NYC and then a little bit of down time. Everything is evolving into a new chapter and it is just as thrilling as traveling has been, if not more! Cheers to the next chapter and incredible fall in Iowa, so grateful that the turn of events allowed me time here to enjoy with amazing people!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lRM5up4VkvU/VFv_pn-pJaI/AAAAAAAACRU/Wj7NKVMYb4U/s640/blogger-image-462932222.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lRM5up4VkvU/VFv_pn-pJaI/AAAAAAAACRU/Wj7NKVMYb4U/s640/blogger-image-462932222.jpg"></a></div><br></div>

<span class="s1">100 days</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">6 countries</span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">In 100 days I have met some of the most unbelievable artists that are changing the world daily. I have seen Hitlers bunker, the Berlin wall, magnificent street art, Athens from a birds eye view, olive groves, lemon groves, vineyards, 3 different seas, islands with mythological history, the Acropolis, the Coloseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the sunset in a 100 different ways, painted 92 paintings, drew for the first time in 15 years, learned 3 different languages, kinda. I witnessed villages nestled on cliffs, had a bestie visit, woke up to hills for days, found a Greek family, read 13 books, read 35 articles, hiked 100 miles at least, slept average 10 hours a day, listened to my playlist on itunes 250 times, painted with wine, had an apartment flood, rode a train almost daily. Experienced 50-110 degree temperatures, missed my friends and family, a critique for Transart, ate hundreds of tomatoes, and much, much more. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">The most important is that I’ve seen myself. I have seen myself become a better person every single day. Thank you to all those who supported this adventure from the dream like beginning stages, to safe travels on my way home. I couldn’t be more lucky to surround myself with the most amazing support system that not only whole-heartedly supports my dream of creating, but has watched it unfold on this adventure! </span></div>

I was for sure when this day came that I would want to reflect on everything that has happened. But I don't. I want to extend much gratitude for what has occurred here, but I want to focus on tomorrow and the next day and next week. The attributes of being here has made me want to create tomorrow for me, not because of my surroundings. I went for a hike today and all I could think about is what I am going to create when I get home. I was worried about losing that feeling of intense creativity, but I realized it's not Italy, it's me. I will forever have it and no matter where I am, I can express it. Don't get me wrong, I believe that this time by myself has been exactly what I needed artistically, but it would have occurred anywhere that I found myself in semi seclusion. Yes, the sunsets were magical and the rolling Tuscan hills were delightful, but the sun will always set and the beautiful landscape will always be there, you just have to open your eyes to it. That has been the biggest lesson, love where you are, love what you do and love who you are. Italy was my 'love' in my pseudo eat, pray, love parallel, and that is exactly what I have done, loved.</div>

Today I photographed all of my paintings that I had done while in Europe. Edited them all nicely and as I was flipping through them on iphoto, it was a brilliant stream of RED! It has been a magnificent journey with this color and what I have not only found out about it, but what I found out about myself as I was immersed. One of the most important things that I created was my sketchbook. My sketchbook is filled with tickets stubs, drawings, brochures from art exhibitions I attended and of my fellow classmates, topped off with design and a splash of color. This sketchbook has contained my artistic ideas, doodles and experiences on this journey. It is a visual journal of the time that I have spent here, to remember the ideas, to remember the feelings and to just remember. My days are becoming limited here in Europe and I am grateful for the time and energy that I put into this book, because I already find myself fingering through the pages to remember the art I saw in Hydra, Greece and a classmates show in Berlin. These are things that made this journey what it is. Yes, I have had lots of magnificent food and saw some amazing blasts of history, but in the end, its what is in this book that has fully reflected my journey:)</div>

With Halloween fast approaching, I can not help but wonder why black and orange? Why do we have a color coding systems for holidays? Through my research of red, I found why we color code Christmas red and green. Red comes from the holly berries that represent the blood of Christ and the apples on the Paradise Tree, which was usually a pine tree (christmas tree) were also red. Even Saint Nicholas' robe was red, as were most bishops and saints. These sacred symbolisms were the root of a belief that has been carried on for centuries. Literacy not being available to anyone really, they would perform the stories of the bible. With those stories stood the holly berries hanging proudly and the apples hanging with care on the tree. The greens were heartedly exchanged in symbolism of the spring that awaits. Over the years it has become the holiday we know it today, all cultures adding a little something over time. So this holiday season, remind yourself that the wreaths, decorations and tree that you put up are the essentials in symbolism in story telling and that spring is right around the corner:)</div>

Tonight was my last night of painting. I cleared my space at the studio/kitchen table and washed out my brushes and packed everything up. I needed to take pictures of some paintings and did that. Afterwards, I was sitting there are was so, so, so sad. I feel as if I have severed an appendage of who I am. I have literally painted majority of the day for 43 days straight. When you spend that much time with something, it is hard to say goodbye. Although it is not goodbye to painting, it is goodbye to a lifestyle, where painting is the priority, not only the priority but the only thing on the days agenda. I have been so incredibly lucky to be able to have this opportunity to indulge in creating like this. I am not sure if it is because I am losing this lifestyle or that I am afraid I will never get it back. In 3 days I return home, which I am so incredibly excited to be home, but so fearful of losing that relationship with my painting. Life will hit me from all directions and I am ready for that, but it's going to be hard to not wake, make a cup of coffee and just paint. I will admit to being spoiled in this regard, but I know if there is a will, there is a way!</div>
