Your second chance (maybe more)
Your mom called. She said she’s not mad that you didn’t purchase “Common Ground” for her, just… disappointed.
Lisa Myers Bulmash, “Common Ground,” collage on paper. Now in private collection.
Even though you missed your chance during the Artist Trust online auction, I’m sure you could get back on her good side by Mother’s Day. Just take her to see one of my next exhibits — as a matter of fact… one opens next week.
“Like Mother…” returns to public view for the month of May. I’ve shown my work in this traveling exhibit since 2016; this time we’re going to the Vashon Center for the Arts. Opening reception is May 7th.

Gallery One in Ellensburg, WA will present Lisa Myers Bulmash: New Works beginning June 4th. You might remember the pandemic forced my solo show and most other art exhibitions. The gallery kindly invited me to exhibit again, so people can see my work in person (properly masked up, of course). And if you haven’t visited Wa Na Wari yet…

Good news: you haven’t missed out! But before you go: remember to schedule your visit, especially if you want to go on Thursday or Friday. Weekend hours are more flexible, but maybe think twice about it: pandemic safety measures mean the gallery has to limit how long you can stay. And you don’t want to disappoint Mom (again), riiiight?
"... Mother" returns next week
It’s like Homecoming Week up in here: “Like Mother” opens its doors in North Seattle next Wednesday, this time at the North Seattle College art gallery.
Notice there are two opportunities for you to see our work that day! If your schedule allows, you can join us that afternoon. If not, then join us in the early evening and wait out rush hour looking at art instead of sitting in traffic. I promise, it’s far more pleasant to breathe in the sweet smell of beeswax from Deborah Kapoor’s encaustic art installation.

Maybe you have to head home right away, though; I understand. Rest up on Friday, then join me Saturday evening in Shoreline for the opening of “Living the Dream.”

Hope to see you soon — maybe at both events!
"Like Mother..." at TAM: supporting each other
Onward and upward!
Up to the third floor of the Tacoma Art Museum, which is hosting the current manifestation of Like Mother, Like Daughter until the end of March. After the hectic pace of the past few months, I really appreciated the opportunity to unwind, in a sunny room, with the contributing artists.

What better way to celebrate Women's History Month than with these beautiful minds and their work?
Speaking of supporting people you love...
... someone has spoken up for a collage in the exhibit You're Not From Around Here, Are You? In fact, the collector contacted me two different ways to make sure this piece was still available for purchase.
If you're interested in one of these pieces, please let me know through the Contact Me page. (And yes, I do installment payment plans.) If you haven't already, I'd suggest you visit the exhibit while it's still up at the Northwest African American Museum: art always looks so much better in person.
