Hello wonderful people.

I hope this finds you well. I have all sorts of cool things to tell you about, so you might want to grab a cup of tea and settle in :) First off, I am happy to announce a couple of new workshops for 2013. This may be it for this year, so don't hesitate if you want to grab a spot.

Portland, OR, July 25th – 28th

Boston, MA, October 24th -27th

Both four-day urban painting adventures will be held in the heart of their respective cities with an emphasis on collaborative painting. For information, please email: florabowley@gmail.com (subject line: Portland workshop or Boston workshop).

And in the world of pretty (and functional!) products there's been a flurry of excitement around here. I'm thrilled to invite you to the new groovy little "shop" on my website---ready for all your retail needs! In the shop, you'll find tote bags, accessory pouches, iPad sleeves, smart phone sleeves, computer cases, wallets, jewelery cases, notebooks, luggage tags, and last but not least...sticky notes! Yes sticky notes. They are the coolest.

I also have a few new giclee prints available in the shop, as well as my book, Brave Intuitive Painting, signed just for YOU. And, soon...fabric. Yes fabric. Stay tuned...

I would also love to share with you a really wonderful (and FREE) online summit called the Help More Clients Now Business Success Summit! This series of interviews with dynamic female business owners is all about helping women entrepreneurs leverage, shift and grow their passions into successful businesses. I will be adding my perspective to the mix today at noon (PST) with my, "Rising Above the Starving Artist Myth: How to Thrive Creatively and Financially While Doing What you Love” interview. Tune in today or listen for free anytime over the next 48 hours. Good stuff.

In final news, I would love to give a shout out to all my amazing collaborators who helped me manifest the public mandala project earlier this year (Lynzee Lynx Malsin, La Laurien and LaTisha Strickland and Zipporah Lomax). We are beyond blessed to see our project featured alongside Elizabeth Gilbert's interview (author of Eat Pray Love) in this month's Spirituality and Health Magazine. The interview is all about creativity, creating outside the box and getting your hands in the dirt, so our mandala project was a perfect fit! I love Elizabeth's take on creativity and I'm honored to share some page space with her.
