I am participating in open studios on the weekend of May 13-May 16, 2010! Allllll types of art and stuff to be seen... Check out the above link to see some of the studios that will throw open their doors! Please note that on the Saturday from about 12:30 to 4pm I will be away, but there the rest of the time.

Well, it's all in my blog. However, that is, admitedly, a little long-winded and painful at times, I know. So. Here is a nutshell:

I am now freelance/self-employed.

I make wool felt scarves, and am thinking of other weird things to make, and sell them on-line. Maybe I'll hit up some little boutiques in Montreal by next year, too.

I am working on finishing up a book of "Cluck and Lurt" cartoons, to self-publish... and working on another "a-little-bit-under-wraps" cartoon with a writer, that we are shooting to have published by the end of this year...

I am still digitizing embroidery free-lance. That is my best source of income.

I have a loft/studio that is more of a little, posh factory than a home. Just it has a bed and kitchenette...

I will be in a group exhibition "Alternate Identities" this Spring at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Port Coquitlam. I am really excited about this!!! I love exhibiting.

OK. I guess that's it... also please check the "links" page here and see my DeviantArt and Etsy links... new and exciting things!!! Thanks for reading and looking.

I now have a third place for my blog... I like having different options for people to check it, because some don't like certain sites etc. So anyhow, here it is: www.natashahenderson.blogspot.com Please note it only dates from, like, now. To access "old" stuff you'll need to go to Myspace or the other one. Ta ta now.

Yeah, still here, and plugging away at Life! Once again, do check out my blog. It goes all the way back to before my move to Montreal this last summer. But for now, I am painting, and I am also working in the fashion industry. I am learning lots of things at the place I work... I don't think it ties directly into the painting... however one never knows what will influence one's work someday. I like to let things stew...

Here I sit at the computer, in my 5.5 apartment in Montreal. The "5.5" means 5 rooms plus a bathroom. So that means I have lots of space for my in-apartment studio, and also room for out-of-town guests and storage of art.
Things are good.
Pretty soon I will be enrolling in french classes so that I will be capable of communicating more effectively with everyone. Tonight is actually the first night I will be able to paint in my new studio, and I am terribly excited. I hope to get some new work up on this site soon!

There ya go! I am trying to post every day or three.

Well, looks like it's just me moving to Montreal now. Mango (the amazing 3-legged cat) has passed away. It was sudden. He had pneumonia, and developed anemia and a low body temperature. He died on January 25th. Needless to say I have been devastated... however, I know Mango wouldn't want me to be sad. Let's just say I am really looking forward to moving to a new place now!

Ok, that's it! I officially bought my ONE-WAY ticket to Montreal just this minute, I'll be arriving at 7am on the 13th of June.

Whoo-Hooo!

Needless to say, I am "so excited!" I have reserved a spot for Mango (my amazing, three-legged cat) and I on a Westjet flight. My my my don't I have a lot of cleaning to do around the house (selling it). Anyhow, if anyone is actually reading this, please note that I will update this and all assorted other blogs semi-regularly with any exciting developments and news.

As you probably already know, I will be moving to Montreal Quebec in the late Spring or early Summer of 2007. My goal is to earn my Master's degree in Painting at Concordia University, and continue my growth as an artist. For me, this means a move pretty much right across the country. It is both exciting beyond belief and more than a little nerve-wracking. It has been a comfortable few years spent here "in the valley"... but I feel that the wheels are starting to spin and not connect. So, off I go to pursue the dreams. I'll keep you all updated in this "news" section of my website. You can also check out my "myspace" page for my blog ( http://www.natashahenderson.spaces.live.com/ ) which will also have assorted reviews of shows and other updates.
