Patience, Pickles, and Piggin’ Out

My dependency on dill pickles is nothing new. But if a picture is worth a thousand words, then this one to the left probably says it all.  I’ve been anxious and incredibly excited just thinking about the moment that I could finally share the news that I’m eating like a little piglet because… I AM PREGNANT!!! As women all over the world get pregnant every day, this might not seem like a particularly special achievement.  But if you know me personally or possibly ever read between... [Read more]

Rare Magazine’s New Publisher Taylor Perkins Has Issues

ARTIST’S RIGHTS A contract is a binding legal agreement that is enforceable in a court of law. That is to say, it is an exchange of promises for the breach of which the law will provide a remedy… This summer, I’ve taken a short sabbatical from the Sugarluxe Blog so that I could dedicate ALL of my creative energy to compose my newest art series.  Perhaps my early work as a corporate trainer and curriculum developer wired my brain to want to facilitate the learning process... [Read more]

LIFE is FABULOUS (and so are Moms)!

Last week, I received great news with this subject line:  FABULOUS Sugarluxe Art is in LIFE Magazine.  As usual, I couldn’t wait to call my mom.  It was an exclusive feature on Miley Cyrus.  I mean, I may never land in LIFE Magazine myself, but it still felt pretty good to see my art in the spread.  Anyway, the only trouble is, by the time I come here onto the blog and talk about an experience, all of the effort that went into making those moments possible get lost in the mix.  People... [Read more]

Girlfriend and Cleo Magazine | Editors Pick Favorite Pink Ribbon Gifts

It probably comes as no surprise - I love PINK.  Which is why I love spending time in my studio downtown.  It’s not covered in the color;  it’s just the right amount to make me feel good.  Let’s call it a daily dose of Pepto Bismol to soothe my creative soul.  It’s so fun to watch people walk into the building where I lease my space and find their way through the maze of non-descript hallways.  Upon opening the door to the Sugarluxe Studio…even guys,... [Read more]

The Blanton Museum of Art Hosts Sugarluxe

Less than 3% of the artists in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art are women, but 85% of the nudes are female. - Guerrilla Girls Now, I’m not saying the Guerrilla Girls would feel compelled to rally behind Sugarluxe, considering its basis in mainstream glam. But perhaps they would applaud my own unique FEMINIST pursuit to increase opportunities for marginalized female artists. The word Feminist…or the “F” word as it may be to some – is to me about equality. Always... [Read more]
