[My favorite Studio Mascot, Blake: Photo by Amy Abito, from Coast to Coast]

March has flown by, and its finally APRIL. Where is time going? Aside from sleepless nights, busy days, and challenging my brain, I have had the pleasure to get together with good friends, Allie Noel and Amy Abito  to compose our very own tumblr–Coast to Coast, a combination of photography and text taking you through our individual journey’s as artists and students.

Although separated by great distances, the three of us want to remain connected through the one thing that brought us together–art. Whether it is photography, design, or the art of writing, we not only want to make an effort to stay in touch with each other’s creative journey’s but share our experiences with family and friends.

Amy is the working girl, while Allie and I are “starving artists,” further defined by Allie as:

Pre-grad school: artist (n.) a person who practices any of the various creative arts, such as a sculptor, novelist, poet, or filmmaker…

Grad school: artist (n.) … +art critic, historian, writer, philosopher, psychologist, gas guzzler, gallery hopper, studio dweller, sandwich maker, and loan lover.

Expect to see some beautiful photos as these are two inspiring and creative ladies who got me through and encouraged me in San Diego.  We are all equally excited to stay in touch and share what we see with all of you!
