I have missed you all! I have been up to so much since my last blog! I have been working through Elizabeth Arden's Gift w/purchase and it was hectic to say the least. I can not believe that it is already the middle of May! My goodness where has the time gone!
I have some amazing news for all of you!!! I entered my submission to the RAW: natural born artist this past week. I was not expecting to hear back from them as soon as I did, let alone at all! I received a phone call to inform me that I was selected to be a RAW artist!!!!! Now Not all artists are selected to be apart of the organization; and they choose me!!! I was shaking while on the phone. I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest lol. I could not believe it!!! I am so honored and blessed that I am able to be apart of such an fantastic organization!
I am proud of myself that I have stuck by my passion and turned it into my career. I am so blessed that I get to do what I love and what sets my heart on fire and makes my soul sing! Despite all of the doubts, negativity, and comments I still moved forward with my head held high!!! I have been told that makeup can not take you anywhere in life and that that I would not succeed in this field. THIS is my validation!!!!! I am a featured artist on the RAW website and will be showcased in Tucson, AZ at Club Congress on June 14th, 2013!
What is RAW you ask? Well I will tell you. "RAW:natural born artist is an independent arts organization, for artists by artists" RAW has monthly showcases that select talented artists in film, fashion, music, art, hair, makeup artistry, performing art, photography. They spotlight these artist in the RAW showcase.
Here is a little bit of background on how RAW was created.
In 2003, Heidi Luerra graduated high school and moved to Los Angeles, CA. She was determined to make her life-long dream of becoming a fashion designer a reality. She started her own clothing line; and sold her pieces at swapmeets on the weekends. While going to school full-time, working part-time and being an intern in the fashion district. She thought, "There's got to be a better way to get my work out there." In 2005, Heidi threw her first showcase in L.A. with an audience reaching over 750. Through this event, she found her solution; she wanted to create a organization for the countless talented artists that needed a "better way to get their work out there." In 2009, RAW was born. After her first RAW event, a local web developer, Matthew Klahorst contacted Heidi about combining art events with an online showcase for artists. At that point RAW evolved to promoting artists both online and in showcases. In 2011, RAW expanded outside of L.A. and now is in over 60 cities in the Untied States. July 2012, RAW expanded to Australia and now RAW will launch in China and Europe in 2013.
I am honored that they choose me! Thank you once again RAW!!!!!!!
I know that my Tio Hector is shining down on me. I know that you are proud of me and that you are here to guide me every step of the way! I love you Tio! I miss you always........
I hope you all have a great day of love, beauty, and great Havoc!
