Busy week ahead: "Best", "BALLYHOO" & Artist Trust

I have been a Very Busy Woman, wrapping up details for not one! not two! but three! Three art events in a row. First up: Artist Trust at Large, in Snohomish.

If you live/work north of Seattle -- especially if you're in Snohomish County like me -- this is the Artist Trust overview you've been waiting for. Email me to reserve a spot. Details:

While you (or your artist friend) are digesting this info, clear your calendar: it's gonna be a busy weekend... Two days later, the Gary Henderson Gallery kicks off BALLYHOO, a group exhibit! I'm in very good company here: Juan Alonso-Rodriguez, Laura Castellanos and other artists far cooler than me. Maybe some of it will rub off on me.

And in the same weekend: Best of the Northwest, Act One! Look for me in booth L3, along the far left wall (see map). I've already pre-sold a couple of items...

... but I'll have more collages, altered books and prints available. Pro tips: you can get in free on Friday night 4pm-8pm, or buy a two-for-one ticket and bring a friend! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Can you help me find my studio?

I'm starting to feel like my studio is a far-off land I'm trying to get to, but all the flights there have been delayed indefinitely.

Thank goodness for Fresh Paint's requirement that you either demo or make art.

That's how I got started on three altered books. Here's where I left off on one:

Visitors to my Fresh Paint festival booth examine a book I altered before their eyes.

More details soon... I gotta catch that plane to Studio Land.

The month of gratitude: day 14

Day 14

I'm grateful for the chance to see the Best of the Northwest fall show this weekend, this time from the patron side of the booth.

Wishing the artists in Act II all the sales they can handle!
