Self Portrait Challenge: What I Wear, Week 2

I walk in art.

I discovered Icon Shoes about 7 years ago. I remember stopping dead in my tracks when I saw a pair of oxfords with Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup painting on them in a store window display. Icon Shoes have famous artwork on them. They are beautifully made and truly unique. Over the years, I've amassed quite a collection of them which has earned me the nickname of the "Shoe Queen" at work. Some days I walk in DaVinci, other days it may be Gaugin, Monet or Klimt. Then there are the days I may walk in modern art--Warhol, Palanker or Sicre. What will it be today? Ahhh--I will be walking in Degas' Ballerinas!

Often the color of my outfit will determine which shoes I wear, but sometimes it's the art. Some days certain works of art just speak to me. And for those days that I don't walk in art, well, then I carry it! I've carried my Icon bag with Klimt's painting of Adele Blocker-Bauer daily for the last 3 years and will probably continue to do so until it is in shreds!

There needs to be more art in the world. As a music teacher, I feel the squeeze--less arts, more reading and math. It's so sad. I will still do my part. I will continue to sing all day and walk in art!
