Onyx at Seattle City Hall: Look who's on the exhibit poster!
The other night I got a call from the Onyx Fine Arts Collective's graphic designer... and guess whose collage portrait was chosen for the exhibit poster in Seattle City Hall?
Mineminemine MINE! [dances around deliriously] I know, my newness is showing. But I am new to this honor. The designer, Al Doggett, also told me my collage, "The Land is Ours, Papa" is also going to grace the promotional post cards. Whee!
Thank goodness The Husband encouraged me to enter this piece in this show, even while I'm in the midst of prep for my solo show. Guess over-committing worked out after all.
The reception will be in April, but the show itself will start in a matter of days. If you'll be in downtown Seattle, here are the details:
EXHIBIT DATES: Wednesday, March 6 until Wednesday, May 1, 2013
RECEPTION: Come meet me and the other artists on Thursday, April 4, 2013, 4pm-6pm
WHERE: Seattle City Hall, 600 Fourth Ave., Seattle
Time to pack up the artwork -- we hang the pieces next week!

Tight deadline for an art show? Challenge accepted!
You remember I decided to stop hyperventilating, take the plunge and apply for a group art show at Seattle City Hall? I made the deadline! [throws confetti]
This piece is based on a journal page; "Opened" is the first of two pieces I submitted to the Onyx Fine Art Collective jurors I call "Opened." The canvas is supported by an opened, scorched book, attached to a cabinet door. I created the texture with light molding paste.
But it was the second one the jurors were interested in: "The Land is Ours, Papa."
I gave it to The Husband after I completed it in 2011. He loves it, but he says he's willing to part with it -- for a price.
The show is actually in two areas: the lobby...
... and the rest in the Anne Focke Gallery, on a different floor. The exhibit is partly sponsored by the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture. The Onyx Fine Art Collective show runs March 6th through May 1st. I'll post photos of my piece in city hall when it's up... stay tuned.
New art show: fitting in more art
What was I thinking, entering another show while getting ready for my own solo show? Time to pull out the big (staple) guns.
But then I was invited to join a group art exhibit at Seattle City Hall... and I caved.
The Onyx Fine Arts Collective show will be in two galleries at City Hall, from March 6th to May 1st. (Yes, that last date is the day of my solo show reception. Eeek.) I'm entering two pieces; this one is based on a journal page and a piece I started in Erin Faith Allen's class at the final Artfest. I'm painting (and stapling) after the kids go to bed. I'll let you know next week if I make the entry deadline. Eeek.
