We're Back...

...but where did 'we' go?
Some call if Spring Fever, I call it me. It's been a long few weeks including sorting, prioritizing and trying to further what a colleague of mine calls 'Living a Creative Life'.
With summer just around the corner we're vamping up at the store by bringing new talent in to fill our new cases. With so many creative people to meet, I'm feeling right on target with the store, and with my own work. I've been striving towards balancing the 'we' of the store and the 'me' of my work. I'm excited to be at work, find new work and be in my studio creating new work. It's not all work, in fact, it has never been more apparent that if you do what you love, you never work a day in your life.
So what's new?
I've just started wholesaling my Mountain Line to retailers and I'm expanding into Galleries in BC and Alberta.
We've recreated my website, www.suzannespisani.com, where you can find personal sketches from my books and more about what inspires me and how I work. We are also currently working on creating a new store website, www.spisanidesigns.com where we can showcase our designers and give more info on what the store is about.

I often find myself referring to the store as 'we'. This all started with attempting to self identify with my creative self. More so, an attempt at separating my retail store form my art. I often find that I get lost in day to day activities such as repairs, refilling out packaging display and cleaning cases. The reinvention of who I am as an artist, more specifically, a creative jeweller, is key to maintaining my creative fire, and in turn, a happy and healthy store.
