Woo! The day after election day is finally here! My phone will stop ringing with robo calls and pollsters. Everybody can stop holding their breath and get back to business. It may be coming up on winter but CLicKs is just getting warmed up! There are so many great opportunities on the horizon between now the end of the year. Here's a quick glimpse of what's coming up.
First of all, I am very proud and pleased to be the featured artist for this month's Blind Pig Preserve, the dinner Mike Moore has called his magnum opus, which will feature the legendary talents of John Fleer along with the amazing products created by our region's local and heritage farmers. Highlighting the evening will be a series of short films produced by Blind Pig and created by Aaron Morell of Grae Skye Studio, spotlighting many of these generational farmers that captures their family's stories in their own words. It's a one night only show, somewhere in Asheville, and I have created 12 single print images that will be on display throughout the evening. In keeping with the theme my sweet husband Cass built custom frames out of reclaimed tobacco stakes. The frames came out gorgeous!! Can't wait to show off the whole package at dinner on Sunday.

CLicKs will also be there for the Women's Business Weekend coming up this weekend, November 10th and 11th. I am so excited to photograph this event as it promises to be an empowering opportunity and a fun weekend full of reconnecting with local friends and associates as well as meeting lots of new wonderful women in the community! There are still tickets available for this event, come join us!
New Asheville Go Local discount cards will be coming out just in time for the holidays and CLicKs is so proud to be a part of this fantastic local outreach!! There are currently over 360 local businesses that will be participating in the Go Local program and the best part is that a majority of the proceeds from the sale of these cards go to Asheville City Schools. It's a win-win all the way around. 'Tis the season to shop local and independent!
Coming Soon. . .
Last but not least, CLicKs will be getting a brand new web site! My dear friend Beth Bates and her dynamite team at Web Strategies have been cooking up a brand new site which will finally consolidate all of the different facets of CLicKs and give the old girl a much needed make over. It will have my portfolios, the Asheville CLicKs blog, private on-line proofing galleries, as well as a direct order shopping cart for digital downloads, prints and art. I just saw the bones of it this morning and it's going to be just what the Dr. ordered; clean, professional, and easy to maintain.
**Update: Phase One of the website overhaul is complete and I have a brand new Zenfolio site for direct product ordering, private proofing galleries and on demand printing for my art prints. CLicKs Zenfolio Site
A D.J. on one of the stations I listen to while commuting to work claimed to have accumulated 24 pounds of what he described as hate mail during this election season. He didn't specify any start date but I was impressed.
