Coming soon

Some of my local art girlies will be selling their artworks this coming weekend at ArtSplash: Celeste Douville and Tonnie Wolfe. ArtistsConnect puts on the four-day art show every year. Besides seeing what they're going to bring, I plan on a visit because Tonnie's invited me to speak at ArtistsConnect in a few months. [blushing]

Also, I expect to drag the kids down to Edmonds for the event because there's nothing like networking with two small people who are liable to knock something over or sulk the whole time. Kidding! Sort of!

Makin' friends, influencin' people

Now I know what my art looks like in a dedicated gallery space!

One piece is just too lonely. It needs me to make it lots of friends to keep it company.
The Juried Art Show was, as promised, a venue for a wide variety of artworks. Like the time machine by Steven Lestat (yes, that's his real last name)...
and the glass vessels by Delores Taylor. (I didn't touch it even though I reallyreallyreally wanted to.)
It turns out Delores is a member of the Northwest Designer Craftsmen, as are four other artists in this show.

She liked my piece and thought I should consider joining the group... networking, all that good stuff. One thing I learned just in that conversation: I might've gotten both assemblages into the show if I'd said they were two halves of one piece. Ohhh... I have much to learn.
You can still see my piece until August 27th at the Schack Art Center.
