So, one of my gigs on the side of mommyhood is writing for a local newspaper. I pen a monthly artist column, featuring artists in the mountains and foothills outside of Albuquerque, NM. I really enjoy meeting artists (and am constantly amazed at the per capita rate of talented creators in this part of the country — it’s a true artistic Mecca) and my articles have proven to be more fun (and to the point) to write than a 300+ page dissertation (more on that elsewhere…). If you’re interested in reading up on some of these contemporary art-makers, I’ve linked my pieces here.
