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.

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.”
