New Work

I am posting some of the projects I have been working on for the past month or so.

1. I completed a painted violin for a University of Michigan Musical Society Fundraising Auction and documented the process along the way.
2. A mixed media piece I created from the violin sketches I made up when brainstorming.  
3. I also experimented with a stylized, almost abstracted piece that was accepted in the Great Lakes Small Works show 2013 at the Riverside Arts Center.

I am happy to say that I have some work accepted into juried shows this fall.

An artist-friend of mine, Christy, had some wise words about acceptance. She said that in many ways, an art juror is like a casting director. He/she picks pieces that they have in mind for a show, the same way a casting director would cast a movie.  Sometimes an artist is right for the part, and sometimes not. They might be looking for a tall blonde, and you happen to be a short red head! (You get the idea) 

I will also be exhibiting some work at Ann Arbor Women Artist Venues: 

In October and November at Sweetwaters located at 124 Washington Street in Downtown Ann Arbor , and in December and January at Joe and Rosies located at 8074 Main Street in Dexter.
