Final weekend to see The Buzz

Chicago Artists Month is coming to a close, and so is The Buzz exhibit. You can still peruse the art work through October 30. Jenny Learner curated a wonderful show, and I enjoyed perusing the variety of works by FUSEDChicago members. Studio 303 Gallery hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday from noon-6 p.m. or by appointment […]

Sassy Aphrodite has gone Uptown

“The world basically and fundamentally is constituted on the basis of harmony. Everything works in co-operation with something else.” ~ Preston Bradley It is such fun to explore the city and discover pockets of artistic support in so many places, especially during Chicago Artists Month. This weekend I dropped off my Sassy Aphrodite at the […]

Ravenswood ArtWalk 2012

It’s been a month of milestones. Last year I met a new Meetup Group at the Ravenshood ArtWalk, which has proven to be such a lovely community. This year we didn’t coordinate a group outing, but I enjoyed revisiting the ArtWalk on my own. The Ravenswood ArtWalk kicks off Chicago Artists Month, and showcases fine […]

upcoming art shows

Fresh on the heels of exploring a fun art show, I am pleased to announce my upcoming exhibits. From September 20 through October 25, Migrant Danaus will be at Dick Blick Evanston’s 12×12 Fall Show. Last year’s show prompted me to enter exhibits, so it is nice to mark the anniversary of that milestone with […]

Marked by Myth Opening

Rory Coyne’s Marked by Myth show opening was a big bustling party. Playful animal masks were distributed right by the wine station, how convenient! I had brought mine of course. Rory had made these fabulous masks out of paper clay, of which a few are available for sale. Lots of people were milling about discussing […]

Masquerade time!

I’m looking forward to Rory Coyne’s opening, “Marked by Myth” on Friday. I had the privilege of seeing one of Rory’s oil paintings evolve layer by layer as I took his fiancee’s drawing class, and am excited to see ‘the Dragon man’ (my name) in completed form. Reading Rory’s announcement (click for the full scoop) was a vocabulary lesson […]

An updated photo gallery

I just received my new CD of Tom van Eynde’s art photography. There are a few calls for art I’m submitting to, and professional photos are key. So now I can show you what I’ve been working on the past few months. I wish the dimension came out more in these photos, but the thing […]
