I’m not very literate when it comes to social media and netiquette. I usually mess up email chain letters, and I have a habit of checking out email rumors and urban hoaxes. I don’t have a blog roll, and though I have bajillions of bookmarks for favorite sites, truth is, I don’t actually [...]
About me…
Breaking news! I'm presenting a workshop for the NH State Council for the Arts. It's about honing in on your passionate, unique story, and using that to fuel your press releases and other self-promotion stuff. In Concord, NH on Dec. 8, 2009. Space still available--they got a bigger building! Find out more here. And as always, please help spread the word!
You can see my art at www.LuannUdell.com and you can SHOP for my art here:
OPEN STUDIO!! Yes, me! Art, jewelry, seconds sale, food, music, dancing.... Okay, no dancing. But come anyway! Saturday and Sunday, November 7 & 8, 2009 from 10-5. Find out more about the NH Open Doors tour here.
I've learned a lot in the process of making my art and getting it out into the world. I share what I've learned so maybe you don't have to learn everything the hard way. (But sometimes you do anyway...)
You get an inside look at my creative life--the good, the bad and the ugly. Mostly the good.

I make wall hangings, sculptures and jewelry inspired by prehistoric, tribal and world art. I tell stories with my art, stories to honor and encourage others who are making their own place in the world.
I believe using our creativity makes the world a better place for everyone. I believe everyone can participate in that process. I contribute as an artist and a writer. And maybe other ways I don't know about yet.
I write about how being a late-bloomer, a mother (teens! When did THAT happen??), a martial artist, a rider, a climber and a writer, have all made me a better artist. And vice versa.
I wrote a book CARVING RUBBER STAMPS and I wrote a regular column for CraftsBusiness Magazine (til it went out of business, and no, that wasn't my fault.) Now I write a regular column Craft Matters for The Crafts Report magazine.
And thank you for stopping by!
