Show Opens Tomorrow!

Nothing like a last minute post, right?

I dropped off over 45 pieces at Anaba Tea Room last week, and they're hanging them right now! I'm very excited to see how they put the collection together...it's always cool to see how someone else sees your work. The show opens with a reception tomorrow evening (thursday, May 2) from 5-7pm, so if you're a local friend, please stop by and say hello!

back to the birds

Here's a little work in progress shot. I'm getting the last few things ready for a solo show that has to be ready by April 26th. Eeek! It's really barreling down on me. I'll post more details soon, but if you're a local friend, mark Thursday, May 2 on your calendar and come visit me at The Anaba Tea Room during the opening!

a few stories to tell

Hello! I was lucky enough to have a friend shoot some of my newer work, and she's amazingly talented in all things, so the shots came out just beautifully ~ I'm so thankful.

So thanks to Erika, here's a sneak peek at some of the pieces that will be in a show I'm doing in May:

Holiday Art Fair this weekend!

I'm all set for the Cedarburg Artists Guild's Holiday Art Fair this weekend. Set up is tonight, and the show is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Whew ~ it's always exhausting, but also a blast. I share a booth with my friend Kelley and together we, and the other artists participating, have tons of great stuff for Holiday shoppers! Here's a peek at just some of the things I'll have on hand:

Cedarburg is a great town in general and the weather is supposed to be beautiful this weekend, so I highly recommend checking it out. If you decide to come to the show, stop by booth #14 and say Hi!

gallery night

Isn't this guy great? I'm loving working with old photos in these new pieces. I grab shots in antique stores that seem to want to tell a story. I hope I'm getting it right for them.

It's not the best shot...these pieces are fairly dimensional- so they go in a custom made shadow box my fabulous husband helps me build. Since the glass is built into the frame, there's no way I can get a shot of a finished piece without the glass, and I have no idea what to do to diminish glare. Hopefully it's enough to give you an idea of what I'm up to these days.

If you're in Milwaukee, come visit me tonight in the Third Ward for Gallery night! I'll be showing with a group at Kindness Architecture and Planning on Menomonee, from 6 til 9. 

That said, time to get the last few pieces wired up. Thanks for stopping!

forward ho

Is that a real phrase? Whatever~ it's September, we're back in a routine, and I've uncovered my studio. Here's proof:

fearless

I'll be back in a few days with details on some fall shows I've got lined up. I'm off to enjoy the swirling winds and crisp, clear air. I love autumn the mostest.

done for a while

So, obviously I've not been a very consistent blogger this summer. I don't make a lot of art in the summer...the kids and I hang and do summer in the summer. I have had a few wonderful shows this season though- made some great sales and some new friends. Thanks so much to any of you who are stopping by because I shoved my business card at you and said "visit my blog!!"

I think, though, that I'm going to officially take a break from the ol' blog for a while. It's occurred to me more and more that I just don't really want to be a "blogger". So I've decided it's time for me to honor that. Otherwise, I find that I'm really critical of myself when I don't post enough.

I'm going to be making art though, so I'll put it up here when I do!

Have a happy summer!
