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?
Taking flight: new class, new work
I promised you altered books last week, and today I can show you full views. But first… butterflies.
Artist Carla Sonheim and I are going to do a short and easy tutorial in her online art lesson series “Bugs! An Online Class for Kids.” If you’re grown and you wanna play too, ignore that “class for kids” bit — Carla’s made room for adults too. Carla’s a rock star in the mixed media art world, having written books and taught classes at the much-missed Artfest retreat.

That’s one reason I’d strongly suggest you sign up for “Collaging Your Own Butterfly” sooner rather than later. The class goes live on Thursday, October 22. Meanwhile, I haven’t forgotten about you altered book folks! Here are full views of my most recent pieces: “Leave or Remain”…
… and “Now Boarding.”
By the way… you could’ve seen these two works last week. I made sure to show my subscribers right away. If you don’t want to miss out on the next first-look, sign up to receive my weekly posts.
A glimpse for now, more later
Good news and bad news… the good news is that I now have much better, professionally-taken photos of my newest work! The bad news is, I’m under deadline with another project, so I only have a moment to share a glimpse.
I’ll have more to show and tell next week. Can you hold out for a little longer?
