Have you ever experienced "Creative Block?" 

If you make any sort of art on the regular your answer is probably, "YES!" 

The Jealous Curator, AKA Danielle Krysa- superstar celebrity Art blogger extraordinaire, wrote THE Book about it! 

She interviewed dozens of contemporary, working artists about their own experience with creative block and how they manage it. 

This exhibition brings together 21 artists from the book and I am honored to be included among them! I have four paintings in this exhibition.

It has been a real pleasure getting to know The Jealous Curator over the years. 

She came to Minneapolis to host a Girl Crush event with me back in 2012. 

...and here is a peek at my "Creative Block" segment from her book: 

I'm tellin ya! This book is so great...each artist provided an "unblocking" exercise to help stretch your creative muscles. 

It is a really fun read that WILL encourage you to get MAKING. 

Buy it (almost) anywhere books are sold. Take a peek inside via Amazon.
