Gallery representation: in real life and online

I turned around this morning and found I'm now represented by three art galleries! (Yeah right. Like it was that easy.) This weekend, three of my altered books are for sale at the brand-new Gallery Onyx.

You might remember I've shown my work periodically with this artist group, most recently at the Washington State Convention Center and the Northwest African American Museum. The grand opening will be June 12th, but for now, here are the gallery's hours:

Online, you can find much of my larger works at Hanson Scott Gallery. Later this year, Hanson Scott will host my solo show to debut new assemblages, altered books and collages.

And if you're in Edmonds, my quote collages are available at ARTSpot Edmonds. I'll be doing some demos there soon, so watch this space for more information about that and upcoming shows. The weather's warming up, so lots of art events are on the horizon!

StencilGirl Talk: the guest designer strikes again

You knew I couldn't just leave well enough alone with the stencils, right?

StencilGirl Products was kind enough to indulge me again, and I've written a second blog post for them that's live RIGHT NOW.

I also used one of my favorite old stamps, created from Michelangelo's depiction of Cleopatra. Wanna see how I used it in my journal page design? Go check out the post for the reveal...

"Black Lives Matter" in Seattle: the road thus far

I'm a little in awe at the momentum of the "Black Lives Matter: Humanity Not Negotiable" exhibit. The opening reception was PACKED...

... and I'm pleased to say one of my two pieces sold that very evening.

But it didn't end there: the show has continued to receive attention from local media. The South Seattle Emerald ran a Q&A with curator/journalist Naomi Ishisaka. Our local NBC station KING-TV interviewed artist Aramis Hamer as well.

And Real Change News contacted me for a story on the exhibit as well. It's encouraging to see how art can extend and deepen a discussion of an ongoing issue like racialized violence.
