I am opening my "Strata+Sphere" exhibit in two locations in Milwaukee starting July 24 2015.
Click here to see the collection
This series of abstract works, titled “Strata+Sphere” combines a layered painting technique with layered memories of growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The collection is comprised of a mix of oil/cold wax works alongside watercolor/multimedia pieces. Large scale works will be on display at LuLu Cafe & Bar in Bay View and and smaller pieces will be at Juniper 61 in Milwaukee.
Café Lulu 2265 S Howell Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207
Juniper 61 6030 W North Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53213
I will be at Café Lulu from 7-10 on opening night. I hope to see you there!
Show opening at Juniper 61 in Milwaukee
I am very excited to announce that I will be showing two concurrent shows in Milwaukee starting July 17, 2015 - wow! I just agreed to post at Juniper 61 (6030 W North Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53213) at the same time that I am showing at Lulu's Café (2265 S Howell Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207). I will be showing a series of abstract works at both shows - large works at Lulu's and smaller works at Juniper 61 - but all part of the same series of work.
Upcoming show at Lulu's Café in Milwaukee
Pictured above, working title, "Egg on your face" - 36" x 48" x 2", oil/cold wax on cradled board.
Very excited to announce an upcoming one-woman show in my home town, Milwaukee. The show opens on July 17, 2015 at Lulu's Café in Bay View (2265 S Howell Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207). I am developing a series of abstract works specifically for this show, most of which are currently in the works, but in the vein of the work pictured above, "Egg on your face".
The opening on July 17 coincides with a city-wide art walk.
More info to come.

Red Ball accepted into Blick show
Last week I found out my watercolor "Red Ball" was accepted into the "Winter Wonderland" exhibition - a juried show at Blick's Loop location. Very exciting!

Just won an award from Watercolor Artist Magazine
Super excited to share this news - I just found out that not only did I win an award in a national watercolor competition, I will also be published in the April 2015 issue of Watercolor Artist Magazine! Yippee!
Here is an excerpt from the email just received a few minutes ago:
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to inform you that you've won Honorable Mention in this year's Watermedia Showcase competition. As such, your painting, "Faded Chalkboard Memories," will be published in the April 2015 issue of Watercolor Artist.
"Faded Chalkboard Memories" is from my Discarded series - images inspired by vintage snapshots and photography that I find in antique stores.
I am over-the-moon!
My work is all over the "I Love Chicago" store
Very excited to report about the new I Love Chicago shop at 316 N Michigan Ave, Chicago. I had dropped off my work a few weeks ago before they started renovating. I didn't know what was in store but if the O'Hare shop where I also show my work was any suggestion I knew they were up to something good.
This weekend I had occasion to stop by and I was blown away. I was with my mom and we walked through enjoying every beautifully merchandised inch of this gorgeous new shop. It was like night and day from my first visit. Kudos to the team at I Love Chicago - fantastic job!
Best yet was the experience of walking through this beautifully designed store and spotting my work - literally everywhere! They are featuring several originals, matted prints, framed prints, greeting cards and designed boxes - dotted in every corner of the shop. What an amazing thrill for me! and right on Michigan Avenue!
I have high hopes for a long and fortuitous partnership with this super cool shop! If you're in town and strolling down Michigan Avenue, I highly recommend you stop by. It's located 1/2 block south of the river on the north side of the street - I Love Chicago - you can't miss it!
Update to this story 10/17/14: Found out this week that the I Love Chicago store was nominated for Best New Concept store in the country! Kudos to the whole team!

The ARC Gallery
I visited the ARC Gallery for an opening this weekend, and was for the first time introduced to the group as a member. What a thrill! They even put my name up on the wall (see below).
The ARC Gallery at 2156 N Damen in Chicago is an all-women membership and the members run the gallery. So I will be learning about curating, putting up shows, taking down shows, community outreach, selling work, running a non-profit, and all sorts of things I can't even imagine right now.
I am so thrilled that this very cool institution has accepted me as a member and can't wait to get started!
