The changes continue . . .

Getting better with each day. . . 

Good news today.  I have decided to return as an "active artist" to our Artists Gallery in the Emerson Art Center here in Bozeman.  I want, and need, the motivation that this decision brings to move forward.  I will start in June and I am so excited about it.  

It is a co-op gallery so we all work together on it.  We move our exhibits around each month and work three half day shifts in the gallery each month.  I am looking forward to participating again and I know it is the right time for me.  They have assured me if I need to have someone take my work shift that is totally possible, but I feel confident I can do it.  The triptych that is hanging on the right was sold to a large, new, upscale local hotel that opened here last fall.  I was thrilled.  


I am the only "fiber artist" in the gallery.  The scarves hanging actually are done by one of the artists who paints landscapes.  But we have 3D and 2D artists and a new jewelry artist.  We also have an area for cards and an area in the hall that is secure and a hanging area for prints.  

Update on my cancer journey . . . 

Today I had the simulation done for radiation and it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.  I actually start radiation next Monday and go through June.  It will be every day at 11 am for about 15 minutes with 5 or 6 of those minutes actually having the radiation.  Even though my pathology after surgery showed complete remission, it is still recommended that I go through the radiation at this time.  So I am going to do everything I can to stay cancer free.  I will also continue with the immunotherapy infusions every three weeks through October and that is also recommended for my type of breast cancer.  And that is enough about that! Now I am going to get back to my work and my life.
