From the Studio

I’m back from a month long hiatus. I didn’t intend to take such a long break, but I started working full time again and time just slipped away from me. I’m feeling more settled into my new schedule and want to get back into regular postings.

I’ll start by getting you caught up on what’s been happening in the studio this month. I applied for and had 5 of my photographs accepted into the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery. I’m very excited about this. The New Gallery Members Show will be on Friday, June 19th from 5pm – 8pm. Stop by and check it out if you're in the Portland area. You can visit the Portland Art Museum’s website for more information.

I’ll be at the Sherwood Saturday Market on June 6th from 9am – 1pm and Art in the Plaza at Millennium Plaza Park in Lake Oswego on Sunday August 16th from 10am – 3pm.

And if you’re not in the in the Portland area to check out any of these events in person, pay a visit to the Paper n Stitch online exhibition space. Stop by my shop and the shops of other very talented artists and designers. The new exhibition starts June 1st and runs through July 12th. I just might have a special promotion for Paper n Stitch readers! Click here to visit Paper n Stitch exhibition. Oh yeah, when you visit don't forget to vote by adding a heart!

From the Studio

It’s going to be a busy week in the studio. I have two events this week. The first is a solo show at the Chehalem Downtown Tasting Room in Newberg. If you’re in the Portland area, stop by for the opening reception. It’s on Friday, May 1st from 5pm-9pm. Snack on some complimentary appetizers and enjoy some Chehalem wines. If you can’t make if for the opening reception, the show will be up for the month of May.

On Saturday, May 2nd I will be at the Sherwood Saturday Market. It’s the first market of the season and there will be some great vendors selling plants, produce, art and other goodies. The market runs from 9am – 1pm. If you can’t make it on Saturday I will be at the market at least one Saturday a month. Just check the right column of my blog for my exhibition and show listings.

Fridays Find: WontonLove

Disclaimer: Okay, so I know I featured a jewelry artist last week, but I was so excited when I found these necklaces I just had to post them today.

I’ve been on the lookout for a very simple, everyday wear kind of necklace. And I was very excited to find MiniCyn on the front page of Etsy. After checking out MiniCyn I noticed a link to their other shop WontonLove. I just love the Spotty Glitter and All that Glitter necklaces. I am a circle girl and a silver lover, but the gold just really appeals to me. These necklaces are on my must have list.

Flickr Inspiration

I am so inspired by the Flickr group @neutral, simple, form, pale, beauty@ that I decided to create a mosaic with some of my favorite photos from the group. This is my first time using the mosaic maker on Big Huge Labs. It was so much fun to curate my own little mosaic that I may post my Flickr inspirations weekly. Check back next week to see what inspires me. What inspires you?
