I Am Now a Featured Artist At Xanadu In Scottsdale

This is very cool. I am a featured artist in their online store. I used to go to Scottsdale twice a year pre-Lyme. Every Thursday night I did the art walk on 5th Avenue...and now I am there in their online store! I always loved walking the galleries & Scottsdale was always a place that was warm fuzzies to me. So to be there is like Deja Vu.

Woo-Hoo! My work is now being carried in The Square Peg Round Hole Art & Recovery Gallery in Bordentown New Jersey. A FUN FunKy Gallery! Perfect! I feel Cindy & I are 2 birds with eclectic feathers & a great fit! I have decided it's time to expand my horizions. https://square-peg-round-hole-emporium.com/

Featured In Fabulous Funky on Artfire

Just finished 2 new "KeRicTures" Presenting "Rock On Dude" with a rock on hand. "Love & Peace" had a blast with! Her hand being a peace sign. Just finishing a recycled found object piece that will not cooperate! Hugs & smooches.

Hi guys!

It seems that when I did a "Wall Dancer" doll for Christmas In July & posted on Facebook many commented on it's whimsy! After selling 1400+ of them I needed the break & recycling found objects was & is a riot!

Then the "KericTures" were 'born'. Now needing a break ~laughing~ from them........... I started the 'gals' again. They are fun as I sit here with 1 more doll to paint, 2 "KeRicTures" to paint & 2 found object pieces ready to be assembled. OY! But all is good & I hope this year brings love, joy & happiness to you all. Hugs.

My dear dear friends

I am getting emails asking how my treatment is going. I think posting it here rather than writing everyone individually is easiest. It's been 5 weeks & I am still infusing my antibiotics. We are on my 4th med. I'm doing good, creating like crazy & enjoying the holidays with my family. For all of you who wrote I love you for your wonderful caring hearts. I truly am blessed by so much. Know I carry you in my heart. Wishing a happy beautiful New Year to you all. Hugs & kisses,
Keri

Happy & Healthiest Of Holidays to All

Well my dear friends from my family to yours we wish you a beautiful New Year with all your wishes becoming a reality! The holidays here were beautiful filled with love. I have been infusing antibiotics for my Lyme for 5 weeks now but I'm doing great. Rex our pup is now the size of Martha our 5 yr. old lab. I feel so blessed for all of the beautiful things & people who are my heart. My Sissy "Sheenie" did this gorgeous portrait of me as my Christmas present & made my daughter Kelly an angel so Kel will stop trying to rip mine off! To my old 'buds' you know how much I love you & we have gone through so much together. To my new 'buds' I look forward to knowing you more!
Hugs, love & kisses,
Keri
