growing... content with progress.

after a much needed conversation with Catherine, i realized i need to count my blessings before i craft what the new year will look like.
so here's my review...

JANUARY 09: i found that the path less traveled led me to find inspiration in texture




FEBRUARY: i came to the realization that sometimes you just have to do what you got to do. it doesn't take much to get where you want to go. just clean underwear, a few dollars, a bus pass, a camera, and a memory card. only good things can happen from there.

MARCH: i launched CHDWCK.com. not much more satisfying than having a place on the web where people can specifically go to see your work.

APRIL: i participated in my first group show: Gentrify Me - a show about community change and gentrification.




in regards to photography, i discoverd my interest in capturing people doing what they do best or enjoy doing most.

i took a trip back home to new jersey/new york and met some amazing artist, including liz marotti and nakeya brown.




MAY: i found an approach to portrait photography that i was comfortable with






JUNE: did an internship at Center Of The Earth Gallery through the summer. a HUGE learning experience. in my spare time, had some fun with my muse, jasiatic.


SEPTEMBER: i particpated in the show, Texture, Dreams, and Rustic Pinwheels with de'Angelo Dia'Bethune, Elisha Covington, and Shanthony Exum.



OCTOBER: i had more fun with jasiatic and shot in a supermarket



DECEMBER: i participated in the NoDaRioty All Arts Market, sold and traded tons of artwork

and i shot for Rheba James Baby Clothier

AphroWoman: Attributes got accepted to be part of the Lodi Projects' LETTERS Exhibition in Raleigh, NC in january.


i learned and accomplished quite in bit in '09. but i got A LOT of work to do in new year. thanks to everyone who has supported my growth. KEEP IT WRANGLER in 2010.
