Upcoming Shows and Happenings...

Hey...that's my art on the bottom right corner!

The closing reception for the Day of the Dead show at Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery is coming up.  I was pleasantly surprised to see my second piece on the event flier!  Hooray!

The opening reception for this show was fun and I am looking forward to the closing...only thing is, I need to come up with a totally different skull-themed ensemble!

My wheels are already turnin'.

Next up D'Art for Art!  

I found out about this opportunity from the Rickie Report, a South Florida, a great on-line resource for artists.  This is a big fundraiser for the Lighthouse Art Center in Tequesta.  When I was at Indiantown Middle School I took some of my students' work over for an exhibit...and now I will be participating in their fundraising event!

Me...Mayof 2012

I donated a large painting 'Have a Heart'.  I made this painting last year when I was living down south.  It was on display for a while down in Hollywood, Florida.  But I brought her home recently...and she has just been sitting here in my studio.  I figured that folks like angels, so this would be a good piece for this event.  I like the fact that the Lighthouse Art Center hosts shows for not only adults but also student artists, and they also do outreach programming so I know that it is going to a good cause.  The actual event isn't for another week, I will be attending a special party for the artists and collectors where I will have an opportunity to sell a piece.  I created a small companion painting, not exactly the same since they were created so far apart...but sticking with the idea of the angel.

Last up, El Sol's Art Fest on November 2nd.  I don't sign up for art festivals much anymore...it's tough to pack all of your stuff up and sit at a table with your heART on it...watching people walk by, often times more interested in finding food and/or enterainment.  Also, I sell originals, not prints, so the price point is higher.  But I know that my Frida Kahlo and Dia de Los Muertos pieces would be well received for the demographic that El Sol services, folks from Mexico, Guatamala and other Spanish-speaking countries.  

So I am going to pack up my wares, hope for good weather and drive up to Jupiter on Sunday to spend my day at a table with my art there...for sale.  Wish me luck...I am trying to save money to go to NYC in May!! (more on that later!)

Art Fest at El Sol in Jupiter...this Saturday! I made the drawing on the right just for the silent auction! C'mon Frida- bring in some money for a good cause!
