"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.

Available art: sometimes you *can* take it with you

Usually when you visit a museum, you have to leave the art on the walls. Not this time.

When You're Not From Around Here, Are You? closes in April, I expect most of these pieces to go home with someone else. Like you... yes, you, the art lover.

"St. Felicia, Patron Saint of Farewells (Defender of Personal Space)" is already spoken for: she'll be shipped to a collector in Atlanta. Two other collectors are interested in the St. Felicia devotional candles as well. (One or two candles are still available.)

And in case you were wondering, these art patrons asked to buy the pieces on an installment payment plan. I'm also able to take payment for some items through my online shop. If you're interested in these artworks, please contact me here. You really can take it with you! And if you can't, you can always support me as an artist by sharing this post with another art collector.

So you want to support a living artist...

Thinking about supporting a living artist? You've come to the right place!

I am indeed a living artist, and this month some people have graciously agreed to support my work by collecting two pieces. [happy dance] This week, one of the Onyx Fine Arts board members called; the collage "Was It Something I Said?" has been sold.

And at the opening reception of Alki Arts' Black History Month exhibit, a trio of collages found their new owner. I only wish I'd been in the room when it happened!

When I finally checked social media, this was waiting for me

What lovely news to read the next day! If every week this month brings a new sale, I would be JUST FINE WITH THAT.

Speaking of which: I still have work for sale both at King Street Station and at Art Xchange Gallery's "Like Mother..." exhibit. In fact, this weekend would be an excellent time to pop over to Pioneer Square and see one of my other pieces. No pressure.
