“Why they’re sexy:  The average artist is doing what makes them happy, not what will bring them fame or money — and that’s pretty sexy. How many occupations can you say that about?
Where you’ll find them: Everywhere. Painters, photographers, sculptors and other types of artists work in their own studios, in offices for ad agencies or on location for photo shoots.
Pros:  They spend their days being creative and get paid for it.
Cons: The paying work that’s easiest to find is often boring and doesn’t allow artists to express themselves.”

10 Sexiest Jobs
by Anthony Balderrama, CareerBuilder.com writer

Why thank you Anthony *blush*.  Much of my commercial work is far from boring, a lot of incredible locations  – and I love my clients and have many long term relationships.  I am fortunate as I also get to spend time working in the fine art realm.  I get to create at my choosing, and that is worth more than money.

Texas Hill Country Chapter MPI

I had the most wonderful opportunity to work with the committee for this year’s Meeting Planners International Texas Hill Country Chapter’s annual “CAMP”. The level of professionalism from attendees, planners, suppliers and sponsors created a successful networking and educational event to be proud of.  If you ever want to treat yourself to an enchanting setting in the Hill Country, you really should visit the CAMP hotel sponsor, Horseshoe Bay Resort Marriott. To see photos from this event, go to http://www.shutterfly.com/pro/photoweitz/MPITHCC/THCCCAMPMPI2007.  Way to go CAMPers!

I will continue to paint on the art project started during our jammy jam of the Alice – Through the Looking Glass canvases.  I was happy to see the artistic members of our group taking brush in hand to help in the completion of what will hopefully become a donation to a children’s hospital or to children in need.  Once complete, I will post the finished project here to view.
