Showing Work at The Gatehouse

For anyone that is in the New Hampshire area I have some small work in a gallery in Tamworth, NH called "The Gatehouse Gallery." The gallery is a tiny A frame filled with paintings, photography and Turkish carpets.
Malynda and Brian, the owners, travel the world for six months out of the year, come back home, work like crazy and do it again. I had the pleasure of visiting them over the winter. Their beautiful display of Turkish carpets were a trade for a website! They are truly an inspiring artist couple and I am honored to be shown in their gallery.
I will have a solo show there in July so stay tuned. For now they have some Mini Masterpieces, greeting cards and one small framed work.
If you are in the area, visit them at:

The Gatehouse Gallery

Turning Art- Like Netflix But With Art

Say hello to the newest artist member of Turning Art! It is an awesome program that rotates art through your home for people who want to beautify their space without the commitment of buying. It's like Netflix, but with art. You sign up, pick some pieces you like, they send you a 12"x16" print in a frame, and when you want a new one they send you a new print and you pop it in the frame and send back the previous. If there is a piece you LOVE and have to have, you can buy a print for $100 with proceeds going towards the artist. You also get credit towards buying an original piece, in which case they take that print out of circulation.
So sign up! If not having the money is what is keeping you from collecting art, this is an inexpensive, easy way to try out what it would be like to have inspiring work in your home. Get rid of those posters from college. Impress your house guests.
If you like my stuff, put it on constant rotation!

Brand Spakin' New Work

Thought I'd share some images of things I've been working on in the barn studio. Sister paintings of ladies in mini dresses, holding red umbrellas, looking for something and a page from the current altered book I'm working on.

Barns and NYC

I have a new barn studio in downtown Monson so expect lots of new and exciting work coming soon. Going to NYC this weekend with a friend to check out the Armory Show, a yearly collection of galleries from all over the world. The inspiration will be incredible and creativity will be pouring out of my fingertips after it.
My stint teaching art at the high school is coming to an end; I had a great time working with clay and the young ones. What's next? Who knows. Stay tuned.

Improv show February 30

It has been a crazy month of teaching art and improv practice. My first show with Greene Room Production improv troupe is this Thursday at 7:30 at the Hitchcock Academy in Brimfield. Kid friendly, $8 suggested donation; who knows, you might even get called up on stage to help.

In other artsy news I submitted some work to the Monson Spring art show, so we will see if they get in. The House of Art was bumpin' when I dropped off, alot of movers and shakers down there.
Happy leap year!

Teaching and Publishing

Howdy fellow snow bunnies. As I am trapped inside today, thought I would update ya'll on my new job- teaching art at Monson High School! This is a long term sub position. I will be teaching ceramics and print making. I am excited to get back in the game and make the teenagers brains hurt by getting them to think creatively.
I recently had the pleasure of writing up a little bio for artist friend John Jorgenson, please visit at http://www.johnjorgensonart.com/#!__about. His website looks super sleek and his work just keeps evolving. He also sells his work if you are in the market for dressing up your boring living arrangement.
