Last chance: spend some time at the Jake

As August winds down, so does the group exhibit at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery (also known as "the Jake). Have you had a chance to slip in and see my work there?

If you haven't, you have seven days left, not counting Monday. And there's a lot to see: the gallery displays three rooms full of work by members of Onyx Arts.

The exhibit closes September 4th. If you take a selfie there, I'll post it on my Facebook page as a thank-you!

Art festi-full: one last note

Before things get too hectic, here's how to find me this weekend: follow the strains of festival music and look for a shredded paper trail.

Kidding!... sort of. Details for Thursday at So Bazaar:

I'll come up for air on Friday, and then on Saturday you'll find me at Fresh Paint:

If you see a piece you like... 

I'd suggest you put a deposit on it to secure it. (My last altered book, "Legendary," sold before I could even add it to my inventory for this weekend.) Hope to see you soon!

Fresh Paint festival: Reasons to buy local

As I prepare for the upcoming Fresh Paint festival of working artists, let me entertain you with an article near and dear to the hearts of independent artists like me.

This refresher from The Examiner pretty much says it all. I have the most wonderful supporters in you, so please consider this either a love letter -- or a good justification for why you brought home five pieces of art from my booth. Enjoy!
