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. :)

mark your calendars

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...

Tuesday, December 7th at 7pm show opening!

More details to come soon!!!!!

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.

Check it out here!

See "cavity" on page 1 AND scroll down to page 2 to see "the cell" and "open".

I have used these photos in my latest mixed media pieces that will be featured in my 2 upcoming gallery shows, however; I submitted the photographs only to this site to see if they could stand on their own. To my surprise...they did. Thanks Viral Cat!!!!!!

***Please check out Gallery U's site to see some photos of the finished pieces that will be in the October 7th show in Montclair!

2 New Gallery SHOWS!

I was just accepted into a show at LITM in Jersey City for their Gallery Show entitled SUPERSTITION.

Gallery U has asked me back for another show! Please come check out the show. I can't say enough to praise this place and the people who run it!

LITM----140 Newark Ave, Jersey City, NJ
Tuesday, October 5th
7 - 10 pm

GALLERY U ----179 Glenridge Ave, Montclair, NJ
Thursday, October 7th
6 - 9 pm



I will have a couple of pieces in this one from my new series, "locked" in each of these shows! These are photos I took at a penitentiary and then mounted them to individually hand rusted sheets of metal which I nailed to sheets of wood that I burned.

Here is one shot from the series...this one is entitled "cavity"




(please excuse the shotty cropping. I don't have photoshop and I'm playing around with some programs to eliminate the background behind my artwork. It's not the greatest, so bear with me through my experimentation of background elimination!) :)

HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THESE EVENTS!

SHOWING in MICHIGAN

Gallery U has a new spot in Royal Oak, Michigan. I had a piece in the opening of this beautiful space! Pretty cool to be showing in a state many hours away. Next stop...Chicago? Who knows. Stay tuned...I have a few things in the works!

montclair...gallery U

Ok...this would be my first "real" gallery show. I am showing 4 pieces in this group show. It's an amazing place and can't wait to be a part of it! See you there!

brooklyn was fab!

The show at SUGARLAND in Williamsburg was fabulous! Jarrod, the curator, gives this little bar/gallery such a great vibe with his positively sweet and optimistic demeanor. Please stay tuned, I will be showing again there on July 25th! It's soooo worth the trip to Brooklyn. Great art, live performances and cocktails. Walking distance from some amazing restaurants as well. Mark your calendars!
