Vote for Amy!



















One of my students from a few years ago, Amy Colalella, emailed me about a month ago to tell me that she was in a singing contest. Not just any contest - Miley Cyrus' singing contest and not only that she was one of six finalists. Now Amy is in the FINAL FOUR!! She will get a recording contract if she wins and let me tell you - she should win - she is an awesome singer!





Check out Amy's YouTube station and hear her sing. Then go vote for her anytime from 9 pm tonight until Sunday at MileyCyrus Be a Star Contest!!





Good luck Amy! You are already a star and I hope that you win!!

Round the Rain-bow

Yay! I finally finished another painting! This one is called Round the Rain-Bow, because obviously it is round, and it was inspired by rainbows and bow pose. This is actually my favorite painting that I've made so far. Maybe it's the square canvas or the composition, I'm not sure. The flower design is a metallic white color. The photograph doesn't capture the colors exactly.




























"Round the Rain-Bow" and four of my other yoga paintings are currently for sale at Yoga Matrika, which is located in Squirrel Hill. Yoga Matrika is a beautiful studio that offers a wide range of different yoga classes, workshops, and massages. Yoga Matrika is hosting a hand-made holiday and celebration featuring handmade herbals and aromatherapy, eco-friendly yoga equipment, locally made crafts and special classes and events. The boutique is open extra hours for shoppers:

One last bit of news - a new set of classes is starting at Le Bella's Studio in Springdale. I'll be teaching a six week drawing class for ages 11 - 14 starting Monday, December 7.
