Great OPEN STUDIO!

What a great surprise the OPEN STUDIO was on the CAM CITY WIDE OPEN STUDIO tour!

I had a ton of people... lots of friends and clients... and new faces.  The neighborhood was supportive-- with many residents coming to visit.

I was overwhelmed when the bus from the Contemporary Art Museum stopped by with 30 people!
What a rush of humanity!

Lovely day-- not too hot....  plenty of camaraderie and conversation.
The weather cooperated - it was not a triple-digit day.

I even made a few sales.  [see above]

Precious Daisy showed up with her Mom-- Amy.... and the GIRLS NIGHT OUT group too.

Thank you to everyone who came to support me.  I REALLY appreciate your visit--- and look forward to seeing everyone again real soon!

DECOR Magazine- Norway

DECOR Magazine in Norway published a nice article on my work this month. The magazine is a wonderful compilation of art and artists at work.

Margrete Tennfjord, Editor of DECOR Magasinet did a tremendous job with the layout and photoshopping the images. The paintings are vivid and the presentation is superb. The text is in Norwegian -- but some English too.

I am so happy to have been included- Thank you Margrete.

Pick up a copy if you live in NORWAY!

Hey Babyers- watercolor

Painting from the GOOD GIRL/ BAD GIRL show from 2006. I finally got around to photographing it for my book. I still like it after all these years~!

It has an edge... a surliness to the gals... an irreverence of spirit --

a message that captures the change of roles in today's adult female --

you GO girl!

Napa Palm- Acrylic

This acrylic was produced a few years ago for a show about Napa Valley. I have since added other layers and depth. The vertical format is especially striking ... when it's in the gold frame.

The palm has a majestic and calming presence.

Looking Inside/Looking Outisde- acrylic

almost done with this painting.. promise!

i keep revisiting this painting... i don't know why... perhaps it represents a challenge!

however.. i really like it now.. and am glad that i stuck with it.

i plan to have it photographed professionally.. so that all the sides of the painting are in focus. my digital camera can't seem to do this.

so... here's to persistence!

Art Center of South Florida- Miami Florida

This art co-op on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach was outstanding. It's a grouping of art studios available for inexpensive rent on the most fashionable of streets.
It's a wonderful place for artists to network and gain traction in their work, careers, and vision. There's an exhibition space for rent.. and even an "in house" art supply store! How cool is that??

A jewelry lab, a photo studio, sculpture... and classes. It was so wonderful to see.

I would love to jury into this to gain an introduction to the art community here.

I went to see the other art co-op -- the BAKEHOUSE in the Wynwood District of Miami. This co-op is even larger -- with 70 artists studios, two exhibition spaces, outdoor foundry, off street parking.. and much more

What a terrific way for artists to work side by side-- network and gain traction in a community professionally.

I was most impressed with the quality of work and the surrounding facilities of both.

This may be a good way to integrate into the area professionally!

Tom Seghi Studio- Miami Beach

My visit today... to Tom Seghi's studio was awesome. He was a St. Louis artist- who left the Midwest to come to Miami Beach 20 years ago. He's highly successful and exhibits and sells internationally. I was so impressed with his studio and home -- and accomplishments. I knew him back in the 80's when we were both early career artists. His web site: http://:www.seghi.com will give you a brilliant overview of his work.

He was very helpful in giving me a practical guide to integrating into the Miami art community.

Thank you TOM!
