Art in the Atrium 4

Four of my pieces have been selected for the 2009 Art in the Atrium Exhibition at Frisco City Hall.






This is my first juried show and I am really excited about it. They will hang in this beautiful limestone building for nine months! The dates are November 9, 2009 - August 27, 2010. And they're for sale, although I'm not sure how I feel about someone buying my mom, dad, or aunt...

Dear Middle School Parents

Dear Middle School Parents,
You may not know this, but I used to be a sub. So when your kid acts up for my sub, your kid is getting detention. There's really not much more to it. How do I know it was your kid and not someone else's? Well, THE SUB TOLD ME.
Let me give you a little insight into the world of a substitute teacher. Subs don't have time to breathe. So the fact that my sub took the time to learn your child's name AND leave me a note about his behavior while still completing a PowerPoint over the Renaissance and Two-Point Perspective tells me your kid acted up. Plus, I could have assigned detention before I even hired the sub and I still would have been spot on with her "bad" list.
She didn't name the wrong kid. I'll see yours after school on Tuesday.
Love,
Ms. Nelson

Thanks to the nation of Japan and my student Eli for making our day.

Really, Frisco?

My pledge sister is on TV.

And thankfully it's not a reality show.
