it wasn't THAT cold

the COLD show at Gallery U was simply amazing! So many people came out to support me. (THANK YOU PEOPLE!) You could always visit the exhibit at Gallery U for the next few weeks if you missed the opening!

COLD and the Dark Matter show, were the first glimpses of my newest series STOP NUTS!

Check out some photos from both shows...AND a video I put together from COLD. (my first attempt at a little video...not bad!)

Yeah, yeah...I know...you don't want to go out. You want to stay cozy at home wrapped up in your hideous Snuggie because it's cold. FORGET IT! Instead of fighting the cold, come out to the "COLD" show this Thursday!

(sneak peak at 1 of 3 from my "stop nuts" series that will be on display at the gallery)

"COLD", a group show
Thursday, January 27th
6:00 - 9:00 pm
@Gallery U
179 Glenridge Ave, Montclair,NJ

See you there! Now, sing along with Miss Annie Lennox...

COLD
Come to me
Do and be done with me
(Cold cold cold)
Don't I exist for you
Don't I still live for you
(Cold cold cold)
Everything I possess
Given with tenderness
Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
Time it may take us but God only knows
How I've paid for those things in the past

Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath
Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

I want to be with you baby
Slip me inside of your heart
Don't I belong to you baby
Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart
Come on now come on now come on now
Telling you that
I loved you right from the start...
But the more I want you the less I get
Ain't that just the way things are...

Winter has frozen us
Let love take hold of us
(Cold cold cold)
Now we are shivering
Blue ice is glittering
(Cold cold cold)

Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

STOP NUTS!

Start 2011 off right...come see some art dammit!

This group show is inspired by the group NoGasPipeline.org who are working to prevent a dangerous gas pipeline from being run through Jersey City to transport natural gas to NYC. The work reflects upon how environmental issues such as this will affect our futures both near and far. Are you fearful of a dark future? Or hopeful for a bright one? Do you think everything will continue along the way it is, or will there be drastic differences?

Well...I certainly have strong ideas about a dark future vs. a bright one! This piece from my new series "STOP NUTS!" has quite a voice. Come check it out. When? you ask?

So bring your appetite for art, food, clothing, accessories and home goods!

sold

I just got word from the lovely folks over at Gallery U in Montclair, that there was a sale this morning. One of my new pieces SOLD! Yay! I have sold pieces before, but having someone walk into a proper gallery and be moved by my art enough to whip out their wallet and shell out the big bucks...really means something. After letting out a huge, "YAY", accompanied by an even bigger smile...I cried a few happy tears. Happy ones are nice. Having a complete stranger believe in your work is quite an honor! Thank you random woman who now has, "cavity" hanging in her home (workplace? bathroom?)!! And thank you to Robert and Carmen at Gallery U for being just as damned excited as I was about this and for giving me a wall to show a little bit of my heart on.



Stay tuned for upcoming shows. I have a few in the works. :)

I was just accepted into a show called "little wonders" in Jersey City...Show will be up for the month of December, but mark your calendars...

i pity the fool who misses this show!

Friday night...the work week is finished...you're a bit exhausted... it's not snowing out...the air is crisp...you would love to do something, IF there was something interesting to do.

THERE IS! Come out and see some artwork! Meeting amazing interesting people...(yes...they do exist in jersey!) And of course...hanging with me and seeing what I've been up to, is really enough reason to get you away from the TV!

Ok...so the AMAZING folks at Gallery U wanted to include my work in their upcoming show, "Camminata". This show is part of Montclair's Gallery Walk. I am completely overwhelmed by the wonderful people running the show over at Gallery U. An instant friendship on a personal and artistic level, was formed when our paths crossed. I thank them so much for believing in me and seeing the beauty in what I create.

See pieces from my "locked" series among many talented artists like Kate Hoos, Donna Marie Costanza, Robert Langdon, Michael Alago, Robert Greco and MANY MORE.
