    LPDstudios Blog: It's Been an Amazing Year!
    Image: From Up North

    As we close down 2018, I am taking the much needed time to reflect on all of the new challenges, new opportunities and creative growth LPDstudios has embarked on this year. I've met so many great people through the local art community here in Pennsylvania, and can't thank you all enough for the unwavering support LPDstudios has felt this year.

    So many great adventures, experiences and memories come to mind when I think of this past year. Participating in the monthly Summer Farmers Market on Chocolate in Hershey, PA, exploring my teacher side by leading workshops for the Craft on Tap Series at the PA Guild of Craftsmen, and donating and participating in the Horizon of Hope Breast Cancer Fundraiser, just to name a few :) I loved being a part of each and every one of these events because of the tremendous amount of talent and creative energy from all of the artists, and the awesome support from loyal customers!

    I can't wait to embark on a whole new year with all of you and explore new ideas in the studio, participate in more local events and craft new LPDstudios originals. Stay tuned as the adventure continues....

  • LPDstudios Blog - Fall Pop Up - the 37th Annual Hummelstown Arts Festival 2018

    LPDstudios first Pop Up of the Fall season will be at the 37th Annual Hummelstown Arts Festival on September 15, 2018 in Hummelstown PA from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Come out and join us with over 150 juried vendors and a special appearance from Trudy Nicholson this years poster artist, which I just absolutely love.  
    Trudy Nicholson
    Trudy has quite an extensive collection of published work and I highly recommend visiting her site.  She has never stopped her journey of exploring various mediums which shows in her work, from her black and white tight illustrations of animals and nature to her energetic, very loose "Quick 5 minute sketches".  I am so happy that she did this years commission and can't wait to meet her.  She will be selling and signing her poster at the Arts Festival.  Come out and see all the amazing artists, creators and makers.   
  • LPDstudios Blog - Inspiration - Summer Fun - Taylor Swift

    What a great ending to our Summer of 2018, a Taylor Swift concert in Pittsburgh.  My two daughters have been big fans since their preschool days.  I can't remember how old they where when we saw Taylor Swift for the first time.  I can only remember the pink and red cowboy boots they wore and the tears of excitement before, during, and after the show.    

    Inspiration- Family- Summer Fun

    Her Reputation tour delivered with even more excitement.  The crazy lights, a beautiful firework display, shiny sequins, and blow up snake props.  I couldn't get enough of the bracelets that danced to the beat of the music.  I just had to video tape it.

    Taylor Swift 2018 Reputation Tour

    We had been waiting since Christmas to see her this summer, but now it's over. Its only a sad reminder that summer ending. I guess its time to get serious and head back into the studio.  I've had such a fabulous summer with so much inspiration there are so many ideas brewing in my head.  I can't wait to get started.
