“Feeling exhausted, but today was an absolute blast! Got to embrace countless friends, groove to incredible tunes, connect with my girls, score some awesome freebies, and even meet one of my pop punk idols, Cassadee Pope from Hey Monday. Massive thanks to Mindy Hofman of Women of Austin for linking GFP with Andie Aronow, the mastermind behind the Women That Rock Showcase. Thank you for having us as a community partner! “

It’s been a month since the 2023 Girl Flock Party, held on April 30th at The Museum of Ice Cream in Austin. To quote myself on Instagram, “When women come together and join forces, pretty amazing things happen! Strangers become friends, connections & collaborations are made, businesses are supported, and so MUCH MORE! That's what this annual event is all about. And to also now raise funds for our woman-owned business scholarship…

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!”

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.

This past Saturday was the big day… the 2021 Girl Flock Pool Party! We had a small turnout, again to keep things safer with COVID, but it was still a great shindig. Friends, colleagues, and sponsors were invited to the private event. My mission with this is to celebrate friendship, creativity, & networking. I also showcase local, small, and woman-owned businesses.

“My dream and goal is to make it open to the public. And maybe one day to have my own event venue. But today, I have to build momentum and relationships. I have to start small and somewhere. My mission now is to still celebrate friendship, girl power, promote small-local-woman owned businesses plus fellow creatives, and to network by building and fostering these relationships.”
