CLOSED: Tuesday Giveaway from Almost Monday!

Today's giveaway is from Serena Van Vranken of Almost Monday. She is giving away one of her super sweet prints, entitled "Spring." I love this print because who doesn't like bicycling in the sunshine? Although we're still having some spring showers, sunshine is on the horizon!



Name: Serena Van Vranken AKA Almost Monday

How did we meet? Friend of a Friend!

What do you do for a living? Currently making art! My degree is in Interior Architecture

How did you take up your artistic medium? I went to an intaglio drypoint workshop 3 years ago and now I run the workshop! I love printmaking, it's much more hands on than oil painting. I've been oil painting off and on since high school when a relative gave me some oil paints.

Three reasons you’re awesome: I make things, I love cheese, and I love cats!

What’s your favorite quote? That's a very good question!

What do you do when you’re having a bad day to remedy it? Pet a purring kitty and eat a slice of cheese! Sometimes I am able to get away and paint or make a print.

What’s a piece of good advice you’d like to pass onto the readers? Don't put off doing what you are passionate about doing. Put that thing first in your life and do it now while you are young enough to enjoy it!

Anything more you’d like to tell us? I'm the happiest when I'm creating things! I'd love to make something just for you!
