Hey there Blog!

Hiya Friends, Family, and whoever else stumpled upon my humble blog!

So I'm pretty sure most of you already know that I'll be studying abroad this final semester in Italy but here are some of the specifics...

I'll be living in Cortona, Italy which is a town in Tuscany ( I think about an hour outside of Florence).

I'll be taking my final Advanced Sculpture class, a Ceramics class, and an Art/Architecture in Italy class.

I'm excited and a tinsy bit nervous to get over there! Not nervous so much about the living in Europe alone part but more about the making art in a foreign country part. HA! Of course, why should I be nervous? There's only hundreds and hundreds of years of art-making history in Italy...no pressure or anything. But really, sculpture is awesome but extremely draining, mentally and physically. I want to be able to make meaningful sculpture during my time abroad but it is hard to conceptualize and plan when you're not sure if you are gonna be using an oxy-acetelene welder or just a chisel!

Whatever happens and whatever I end up making, I'm certain the experience will be 100% worth it! As for now, I'm still brainstormin' and enjoyin' my wonderful fam, crazy dogs, beautiful beaches, and BIG cozy bed in Florida.

I leave you with this little gem:
