Here is my final project, Mapping a Creative Event. Amazingly, it was selected for the Art & Technology Show held at the end of the quarter. I didn't expect that. In fact, just before the submission date, I was seriously considering not submitting it, but my husband, Bill, said, "You've got to try." So I did, & there it was, up on the wall -- a collage of Photo Shop elements from my third project, rearranged, mounted on a dark blue background, & washed over w/ a flow of acrylic interference paint. Needless to say, I was thrilled & grateful. The photo was taken by friend, Desi.

So what am I going to do now? Well, after 2 weeks of catching up w/ myself, burning some CD's to document class work, & hopefully getting some rest -- oh yes, & pulling some weeds out of my overgrown garden -- I plan to do this all over again. Summer quarter begins next week & I'm going to revisit Photo Shop. I want to really know this stuff before moving on (good advise from Jessica, the T.A. in my very first Computer Art class taken long ago at Palomar College in California). Until then ... thanks to all who cheered & coached me on: Adam, Sarah, instructor Ryan, Ken, Desi, Beth (for the use of her computer & printer), my husband, Bill (for endless amounts of love & encouragement), & more ... you know who you are. Thank you. I couldn't have gotten this far without you. It's more of a miracle than you could ever know. Thanks for being a part of it.
