It’s been a month since the 2024 Girl Flock Party, held on April 27th at Urban Creekside. To quote myself on Instagram, “When women unite, incredible things unfold: friendships blossom, collaborations spark, businesses thrive, and much more! This annual gathering isn’t just about having a blast; it’s also about empowering women through our established business scholarship. Huge thanks to our sponsors and donors for their support, our vendors for their collaboration, the venue for hosting us, and everyone who graced the event and contributed to our scholarship fund. Months of meticulous planning culminated in our most epic party yet! It just keeps getting better and better!”

I can finally catch my breath since our SOLD OUT event, the 2022 Girl Flock Party, held on March 27th at The Cathedral in Austin. To quote my Instagram post: “Thank you to everyone that attended and to those that couldn’t make it - you were missed! I wish I had more time to visit with everyone. I noticed some folks came and gone - so my apologies if I didn’t get to talk or visit with you! So much fun and my eternal gratitude goes out to our donors, sponsors, volunteers, venue, vendors, and attendees. We appreciate your support and participation!”

After Thanksgiving, Girl Flock Party started fundraising for Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter. Pet adoption soared during the pandemic, but now animal shelters are facing a new crisis. Pets are being returned or abandoned and shelters are overcrowded and short staffed. I couldn’t not help especially during the holiday season. So I made it a point to start doing charity and/or volunteer work within my networking group, Girl Flock Party.

So it probably looks like not much is happening in the art world for me, but lo and behold, there is! This weekend, I dropped off my artwork at New Hope Realty Group in Cedar Park, TX. I am their featured artist through October. I have several prints and originals on display for purchase. I even left some of my free original artwork adult coloring pages that match what I have up in their office.
