Here’s a peek at the studio. I’m busy replenishing my angels and frosties inventory for Small Business Saturday. You’ll find me at Rebecca Marie Photography at 5254 N Damen Avenue in Chicago from 10 to 5 on November 28. I’m also gearing up for a pop-up at the old See Jane Sparkle Location, which will […]

It’s been a veritable factory in here the past few weeks as I created ornaments for fairs, friends, families and boutiques, and sprinkled in some new pendants and earrings to keep the fingers nimble. The start is always cutting and prepping the wire (sanding off the oily residue) and hammering it into a straight line […]
For every setback there are new opportunities, and so it was the weekend following Ravenswood. Art work by Cindy Hogan My friend Cindy, who helped set me on the encaustic path, held the opening of her Last Hurrah show at PerficalSense Studio. Several FUSEDChicago artists participated, and we were each given our own wall to […]
The big day of love is tomorrow, so I will share my love of encaustics with you today. Last Monday I perused the Rhythm in Wax exhibit and was blown away by the beauty of it. The show includes my fellow FUSEDChicago members, and it is on the first floor of The Dellora A. Norris Cultural Arts […]
FUSEDChicago is participating in Chicago Artists Month with The Buzz, an exhibit at Gallery 303 at Zhou B Art Center, Chicago. My Malachites have been accepted into this show, and I am looking forward to perusing the works by my FUSEDChicago friends. Chicago Artists Month kicks off with the Bridgeport block party: three locations in […]
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 […]
Tonight I’ll be perusing the Hot Wax in the City show and visiting with my FUSEDChicago friends. Several of them have been accepted to this show, and I am excited to see their latest and greatest work, curated by Kathleen Waterloo, Jenny Learner and Kathy Roman. Alicia Forestall-Boehm Denise Funfsinn Bridgette Guerzon-Mills Brad Hook April […]
I’m back in the studio again, yippie. Since taking a variety of workshops over the spring, I have not spent time making encaustic pieces. It doesn’t mean I haven’t created anything. I learned encaustic techniques from Bridgette Guerzon Mills, Crystal Neubauer and Shawna Moore; bound books at the Chicago Print Collaborative, had two sessions of […]
“We are all trying to get to our own place (in art).” ~ Shawna Moore Tonight the Shawna Moore and Friends exhibit opens at Studio 303. Several FUSEDChicago members will have work up, including yours truly. You can peruse our works from 7 to 10 p.m. on the third floor of the Zhou B Art Center at […]
This promises to be another fabulous week. 2011 was wonderful, but this year I’ve had numerous “pinch me, I must be dreaming†moments. Artrageous has opened, I attended a very inspiring studio visit, and the Red Admirals obliged me a little bit in posing for me on Sunday. I’m not sure my adrenaline-meter can keep […]
