| How does it feel to be our first and possibly only two-time Artist of the Month |
| | It feels great! I love a challenge and I knew that we had some amazing artists on BG for me to compete against. |
| |
| Does this have a different meaning to you because collectors and fans of your work have taken the time to vote for you in our contest? |
| | It really was quite eye-opening for me to see just how much support is out there for me and my art. Often we think that once we make a sale that the relationship is over. But what I have found is that my collectors and supporters are wonderful people who are truly interested in seeing me succeed. I got a lot of emails from thoughtful people and made 12 sales as a direct result of the contest. |

| What are you working on currently? |
| | I am getting ready to start to work on my "Pure Water" series again. For the first 50 or so I used matte paint and for the last run I used high gloss. Next I am going to try a satin finish. Each one gives a unique look and as always I am excited to experiment. When things slow down as the Holidays grow very close, I will probably work on some of my Labor Of Love pieces. I will have more time then. |

| We've made some pretty big changes to Boundless recently, what do you think we are doing right and do you have anything we should improve? |
| | The main thing that I think the BG team has gotten right is that you have embraced the idea that everything can be improved upon. You guys are working very hard to make positive changes to the site and it is appreciated. I am still hoping that the search features will continue to get a little better.
I will be honest and say that I didn't put a lot of energy into BG early on. It was a good site, but didn't offer me some of the freedoms and features that I was looking for. Over the past year I have watched BG grow and change and it has become a place where I want to be. My collectors are enjoying it and so am I. The group system has turned out to be a big draw in my opinion. I get emails everyday from other artists thanking me for my candor and participation in the groups and on the blog. It makes for an easy way for me to encourage and help other artists while learning from others as well. I make a point of noticing new artists and corresponding. I like to congratulate when a sale is made. These are all good things. I am watching to see what other good ideas make it to the site. |
