It’s Halloween, and the last day for my sale at Artem Pop Up Gallery. I had fun making Halloween Ghost ornaments for the store. I created a setup on Now That’s a Jig to create the basic ghost frame. Then I wrapped a length of wire around the setup to make the shape. I decided […]
Whoops, October disappeared and I suddenly need to prepare for the Elmhurst’s 9th Annual Wilder Mansion Holiday Market! This fabulous show kicks off my Holiday season, and while it truly is the 1st weekend of November as always, it falling on the 1st feels early. We will be in the historic Wilder Mansion on Friday, November […]
On September 29, Downtown Evanston held Oktoberfest, and in conjunction with it Evanston Made organized a Makers Market. The market would be held in the garage adjoining the Oktoberfest parking lot, which was a great idea. My outdoor show track record is horrendous, so having a roof over my head that wouldn’t blow away made […]
Join us September 28 from 6-8 pm at 1100 Florence in Evanston for the Nasty Women Evanston Art Exhibition. More than 100 women and allies have donated art work of 12 x 12 inches or less to be sold for $100 each in order to raise $10,000 for Planned Parenthood. We want to ensure that […]

Artists who work with encaustics are naturally bee lovers as well, and I have often toyed with the idea of a beehive. My friend Bridgette Guerzon Mills made a gorgeous hive for an outdoor art installation, which I find very inspiring. I started making bees last year and really enjoy the design I came up with. […]
