making more and being in paradise « art, smart looking, connecting, troublemaking...

Hello, I'm Rachael.

I am primarily a painter and friendly multi-tasker/ troublemaker in Upstate New York. I try to blog often but mostly I try to paint.
Leave me a comment (I'm more likely to communicate directly than in the comments), ask me a question, do your best to share what you have to say, OK? Thanks

I'll be at Second Storie again this year, Thanksgiving Weekend, Rochester NY!

making more and being in paradise

I'm now in the middle of the woods at Penland, living and working for two short weeks of 24 hour access top the studios, a crew of interesting artists absorbed with earning new things, good food cooked by great people and served with a smile thrice daily, and a chance to relax, refresh and renew. I didn't bring my computer but I did bring my sketchbook, plenty of paint, and lots of ideas, and I brought my camera so I'll share more in bits and spurts (or spits and burts if you will...and you might) as I geta chance and I will tell the story as best I can when the adventure ends.

I'm rested and well fed, painting and happy. Nothing to complain of, though letters would be nice. Send missives my way (Rachael Baldanza, c/o penland school of crafts, po box 37, penland, nc 28765) or don't. That's OK too...

take care,
Rachael
