This weekend I attended the opening of “Meditations: Looking In, Reflecting Out” at PerficalSense Studio. The show features work by encaustic artists Crystal Neubauer and Bridgette Guerzon Mills. It was lovely to meet both artists and learn more about their inspiration and techniques. Meeting Bridgette Guerzon Mills and Crystal Neubauer, who will both teach me […]

In addition to the Black Cloud Art Bazaar, I also perused Park Schreck’s gallery on Friday evening. Through FUSEDChicago I had learned that encaustic artist Jane Michalski was exhibiting as part of “Boundaries†with painter Ted Stanuga. My shyness kicked in at this gallery so I snapped shots outside but not inside. Jane Michalski’s pieces are abstract […]
It seems that the cocooning and reflection of the past month ended with a bang on February 1. There has been a surge of energy, various affirmations and a lot of busy-ness that I almost need to recover from after being so accustomed to peace and quiet. First up, I’ll share a favorite outing this […]
I’m on a bit of a high as I write this post. Apparently seeing your work hung among other very talented artists by a professional curator raises a boat load of endorphins. Maybe there should be an after-party for gallery openings. I’m so giddy!

It was lovely to meet local artists and discuss the artful life with them, while being inspired by other artists during their open houses. The highlight of the tour was sitting in an old airstream caravan. Perched on a rooftop, we enjoyed […]

It was a great experience to be on Wrigley Field and listen to thousands of people sing along to iconic songs. This nice review gives a glimpse of the evening. We also visited New Encaustic Explorations, […]

I made my very first card sale Saturday! It was only one, but one is where it starts. After years of being told that I should sell my creations, a complete stranger affirmed that notion and put her money up to prove it! It has been a rollercoaster week for me. One evening I had […]

So as part of my new “job,” I need to network at local art events. It recently dawned on me that going to exhibits and art fairs are me mingling in my new industry. How cool is that? Last Friday I visited the Black Cloud Gallery, which is hosting art work by FUSEDChicago for the […]
