Now opening at the Convention Center...

Thought I was only working on getting ready for Best of the Northwest? Oh nononono. I'm getting ready for a second big exhibit! If you follow me on Facebook, you saw some photos from "Onyx Fine Arts Collective: A Decade of Art" at the Northwest African American Museum...

To celebrate the next decade of art, "Real and Imagined Spaces" is on display at the Washington State Convention Center. Guess who's invited to the artist reception? You are.

Here are a few visual cues to find the galleria...

Make the trip to the reception -- you won't be disappointed! Come up from a different state if you have to, like my in-laws did...

*Nana and Peepaw really liked my artwork. I think you will too.*

New art: "Exposure"

Whenever our family travels, it's like an adventure/disaster-prevention saga inside my head. Which of course means I have something new to explore in my artwork. Do we have all the bags? Did we forget anything? Where are the kids?

Are the kids going to get "playful" during the airport security check? Is anyone looking at them with a little too much interest? Wait -- did we forget anything...? Feeling a bit at sea, if you will.

I've finally set down some of my epic (anxiety) onto a 36" x 48" panel -- my largest yet.

I'll give you the behind-the-scenes next week -- stay tuned!

Art fair prep: bringing my best to Best of the Northwest

I'm putting the final touches on a few new pieces as I get ready for the October act of Best of the Northwest show.

*Wait'll you see the full piece in person!*

Trying something new for this show.

*I need more clamps. Maybe an actual book press?*

And by "trying something new" I mean "not making new work up until the last minute so I don't get stressed out." But as you know, the tasks expand to fit the time available (about 22 days -- eek). So I'm keeping myself busy tying up loose ends. Details you'll need to know:

DATES: October 24, 25 & 26 (Friday-Sunday)

TIMES: 10am-6pm Friday & Saturday, 10am-5pm Sunday

WHERE: Magnuson Park, Hangar 30

TICKETS: Brown Paper Tickets (notice the special deal if you bring a friend!)

Just print the info out and bring it with you. Let me know you plan to attend; RSVP here. You'll see my work plus that of more than 100 other artists

And here's the kicker: your ticket to my show gets you in FREE for the next show November 14-16, where you'll see work from another 110 artists! Looking forward to seeing you...
