Henle Studio Update
I will be moving into my new studio soon.
I will be taking a short break from journaling for a few more weeks, and then I will be back to share art news from my studio.
For now; the news is that I have left Studio Art Direct as their curator, due to contractual difficulties on their part (ie being able to pay me). I have been hired for an independent role with a company that is more established, has sound footing and experience placing artwork and working with Interior Designers.
I’ve recently been invited to play a role in the development of the company, and I believe that I will enjoy working with them. They have shown integrity in their work and their policies with artists are direct and up-front.
I learned quite a bit from my 6-month + time working for S.A.D., and building her company up for her while she was at her day job. I was looking forward to a steady build for the company , but many start-up companies fail due to lack of capital and planning, and the position I had been hired for just wasn’t possible for them any longer.
More news in a few weeks!
Come on in and browse around....
This is my playground, and a place to talk about what's up in the studio, show new artwork, and yak about art related stuff.
Hey there,
“I needed to learn that as friendly as people can seem, that doesn’t mean they are going to have my best interests at heart when they are in a difficult position themselves.”
I have learned this too and it feels so much part of my learning as a business woman. I was going to hire a VA and asked for her resume and references. She said that she does not “give out her resumes,” but would be happy to give me references. I was willing to go with that, but today woke up to a letter from her saying she was not feeling “healthy enough” to take a new client and no references. It was hard to ask for it, but I am learning that it is really important to find these things out up front, as it has biten me in the butt in the past.
Best of luck to you in your new position! Good on ya!

Thank you, Sheri.
It has proved to be a good change, and I am in harmony with the owners. It makes it so much easier to do my best for them. I am finding out that I cannot work any other way.
Blessings and peace to you,
Cecilia
