Karen Appleton: September 2013
http://karenappleton.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 2, 2013. Let me explain . This past winter I had the strangest transition. From full time artist. To full time substitute high school art teacher. This almost killed me :). And ZERO painting for months. I didn't realize this would end up being a major creative incubator. In part, it was the abrupt shift from. To the hum of hundreds of voices, rap music, and vending machines. Steady stream of questions. Questions about art . Questions about being from the South. I'm thrilled to have Sold.
