I don't have much time to write today. I have been lately consumed with a variety of things- you might call jobs but I call experiences. I am at the pinnacle of a turning point in my life. I can feel it rushing through my veins in excitement... though I have no clue what is around the bend. I am walking in a labyrinth called "Life" and I am finding beautiful things and people as I walk my path. The path switches, ever so often. We all walk it. We all follow it. We all choose our words carefully or not so carefully on our path to wherever we go. We are here. I know one day I will look back and moments like these will be defining moments so I remind myself that while I'm counting the pennies to pay the bills. I have a few photoshoots coming up this summer with an amazing photographer (check out williamlsnyder.com) and I am still looking for a few print models for shoots this summer (fashion shoots) and winter (beauty shoots). If any of you are in the Lafayette Indiana Area and are interested in time-for-prints modeling, let me know.

Here are 2 sites I have been checking out lately:

How to write your own memoir:

Indaba Music site (a site kinda like deviant but for musicians... and very interactive):

Off I go to experience the world.

Well, I must say that I am sure there are several cliche saying which could describe my life right now. For the first time though, I can't think of any. A series of very unfortunate events have produced one of the best opportunities in my life as of now. It is amazing the human psyche's ability to bounce back from disappointment and I am a proud example of that right now. While I always considered myself a serious artist, I lacked a certain zest for pushing myself into new territory. That is no longer true and now I am proud to say that an unfortunate financial situation has turned into something most fruitful.

This summer (which is not even close to nearing completion) has already offered so many creative inspirations that I am swimming in ideas and plans. I have never been so excited and driven about the future of my life and my work as I am right now. Whether it be because of my ability to turn negative things into positive ones or perhaps it is because of a few specific people who have given me a push in the right direction- I am nevertheless grateful for the opportunities that have come my way and I look forward to sharing them here.

Having said that, in the next few weeks, I will be overhauling my portfolio. So look for changes. I need to prepare my 2-D work for photography and photograph my 3-D work, not to mention including the creative direction I will be doing for an amazing photographer in regards to my fashion designs and a few other side projects. This summer I will be pushing forward, finally proving to myself that I have the tenacity, the strength and drive to make it in this crazy world we call art.

Oh my. There's so much to do. My fashion show is in 3 weeks and I still have to construct everything. I have a ceramics midterm critique in a week and on top of that I think I caught a stomach bug. Thankfully it is spring break and the weather is beautiful so I have been laying, sleepy on my fouton/couch in the living room for the past 3 days. I need to get to work but I can't quite bring myself to fully wake up.

Thank you to everyone who has visited my page within the past few days. It has cheered me up in this gloom... And the sun is shining so I can't help but smile. I will be uploading more images soon of croquis (fashion sketches) and presentation boards and other fashion related things. I hope you enjoy it and I welcome your feedback!

Sincerely,
Selena Marie

Well I must be doing something right. My page views have popped up from 0 to 60 in one day! I know it's not much, but it's kind of exciting and inspiring me to put more of my things up here. I must admit I keep checking my computer and getting all excited when the number goes up. Haha. I know it's very likely to only be my friends who are checking it out, or my sweetie fiance but it's nice to see that someone is interested!.

So thanks for checking it out!I think I will definitely be putting more images up soon!

toodles!
