More Things

Participating in "Ladyfest Easthampton," a three day music and arts festival celebrating Ladies. I submitted my painting "At the Pond," since it is a portrait of my cousin who just moved to the Easthampton area from Texas.

Ave, right next to Christopher's. Saturday April 9, 2-5.

With Spring Comes New Meaning

Hello all, upcoming events on the roster.
I will be participating in Somerville Open Studios this year which is April 30th and May 1st. It will be at my studio this time. This is when you get to wander through Somerville finding new artists to inspire you.

A lady legs (image further down this page) will be on display in the CVS windows in Davis Square starting April 2 in celebration of Open Studios.

The last opening went splendidly and I sold a piece to a lovely french couple. Goes to show the french understand sexy, sexy ladies.
There are several other shows I plan on applying to, but will wait to post them til I'm accepted. The Mass Art Spring Sale is one of them, which I have consistently shown in the past couple years with leaves and minis, but I want to mix it up this year with some new work.

Successful Opening

Thank you to everyone who made it out to the Cambridge Common Opening. It was awesome to see old friends meet new ones, eat cupcakes, and everyone loved the new pieces. Which means I'm only getting better! Fuel for the fire of creativity and productivity. The show will be up til March 2, 2011.

Sent in my sketchbook for the Brooklyn Art Library project. I scanned all the pages so hopefully I can get them up on here soon. If the tour is hitting a city near you, please check it out. I think 22,000 artists participated.

Happy New Year

Please join me at an art reception from 9:30 to 12pm on Wednesday, January the 19th. Cambridge Common Bar and Restaurant at 1667 Massachusetts Avenue will be hosting my paintings for 6 weeks. It will be a revisit of "Lady Legs" with a few new pieces. The Christopher's show was a huge success with 3 pieces sold.
I would love to see everyone who can make it. If not, feel free to visit the restaurant for dinner or drinks before March 2.

I am also participating in this cool show called The Sketchbook Project through the Brooklyn Art Library. Artists sign up, they send you a sketchbook, you fill it up and send it back and it goes on tour from Brooklyn, to Austin, to San Francisco and more. Visit this site to learn more.

December and January Happenings

2010 Mass Art Holiday Sale is scheduled for December 6-11th. This is when the lobby of the tower building is turned into a remarkable gift shop for all your holiday shopping needs with work made by students and alumni. I will once again be showing brand spanking new "Mini Masterpieces" (tiny cute watercolors) and a few hand painted, sculpted, concrete rhubarb leaves. "WHAT!?" you may say? Just go see for yourself.
WARNING! It is very hard to enter the Mass Art Holiday Sale and not buy things.

If you have not seen my current Lady Legs show up at Christopher's Restaurant in person, you have until December 14th to do so.
January 19th my work will be going up at the Cambridge Common just a hop skip and a jump down Mass. Ave. from Christopher's. Will be having a big shebang opening night, and some new work to boot.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope to see you at the Monson Craft Fair the weekend after turkey day if you are in the western Mass area. This year along with minis, cards and leaves I will be bringing a few large, affordable, high quality prints!

What's up Lady Legs

Thank you to everyone who made it out to my art show at Christopher's. It was a huge success and I got so much positive feed back on the new work. It seemed like everyone had about four favorites, and rumor is a bidding war has started.

Also a thank you to Abbey for organizing the show, the servers, bartenders and managers for making it a super easy, special night for all the guests. I am excited to see what happens in the next six weeks.

30th Annual Holiday Craft Fair
November 27-28. Saturday 9-4:30. Sunday 12-4:30.
Two full days of every crafty thing you could dream of. From candy to honey, santa figurines to applique pumpkin pins. And for the second year in a row- hand made concrete rubarb leaf birdbath/bowls. They make great presents and centerpieces. They remind me of a fossilized leaf from the Jurassic Period.
