"Like Mother...": babysitter optional

We're about to put the current iteration of "Like Mother" to bed (see what I did there?). But before the show closes at Art Xchange Gallery, let's talk about making art while parenting.

The gallery is hosting "ProCreators: Navigating Motherhood in the Art World" tomorrow afternoon. At 1pm, we'd love you to take a(nother) look at the art before we sit down to talk at 2pm. We'll chat about being parents in an industry that rarely acknowledges the existence of family life, as well as how parenthood can transform and shape one’s artwork in inspiring ways.

And if you have children -- no need to scramble for a babysitter before you join us! Art Xchange will have games, drawing and DVDs set up in their upstairs Loft area for kids. Looking forward to talking art with you in person!

So you want to support a living artist...

Thinking about supporting a living artist? You've come to the right place!

I am indeed a living artist, and this month some people have graciously agreed to support my work by collecting two pieces. [happy dance] This week, one of the Onyx Fine Arts board members called; the collage "Was It Something I Said?" has been sold.

And at the opening reception of Alki Arts' Black History Month exhibit, a trio of collages found their new owner. I only wish I'd been in the room when it happened!

When I finally checked social media, this was waiting for me

What lovely news to read the next day! If every week this month brings a new sale, I would be JUST FINE WITH THAT.

Speaking of which: I still have work for sale both at King Street Station and at Art Xchange Gallery's "Like Mother..." exhibit. In fact, this weekend would be an excellent time to pop over to Pioneer Square and see one of my other pieces. No pressure.

Onyx Fine Arts: the party's just begun

The party's not over yet at King Street Station -- in fact, "Truth B Told" has just found its second wind. 

With help from the Northwest Tap Connection, Onyx Fine Arts is celebrating the two-week extension of our group art exhibit! [happy dance]

In addition to the performance and visual pieces, Onyx Fine Arts will also host literary artists.

The African American Writer's Alliance will read poetry about the visual art in "Truth B Told." Looking forward to it!
