Thank you!

Thank you to all who came to my closing reception last night at Klatch! The night felt like it would never come, but with the start of school approaching, it was a perfect ending to my summer that brought together all of my favorite people. It was really great to be surrounded by a great group of friends!

I got em back!

Two of my three pieces that were originally supposed to be put in The Sims show were returned to me on Monday. It is good to have them back and put them back around my desk area. The third one, MIA, was my grasshopper cigarette box which was my least favorite of the three, so I am not heartbroken.

'In My Tummy' Stickers

I finished with the sticker project this week. It took a while to assemble each set and cut out the stickers. They will be on sale at my reception TOMORROW :) for $5.00. Pick up a set for yourself or a friend or even both!

Stickers

I have been working on a set of stickers that will be on sale at my closing reception, August 30th @ Klatch. These are the stickers. I am working on the packaging now. More pictures to come....

New Project

This is part of a 8 foot drawing that I did for my final project last year in drawing/painting class. I have been itching to color it, and now is the perfect time for me to do it. Please enlarge the image below to get the full effect.

Putting up Smog and Smokestacks

Well, I am beginning to recover from putting up my show this past Saturday and all the festivities that went along with its opening. My sister came in from Cleveland on Friday, my show went up Saturday, and Sunday brought in my two best friends from Cleveland and the farewell of my sister. I couldn't have been able to put up my show without the help and support of my sister, Kate, and my two roomies, Lauren and Katie. They were fantastic with helping me bring down my 8 wooden panels and lending a keen eye to make sure the paintings were hung straight. THANK YOU! And also a thank you to Adge and Maria, who came out from Cleveland to see my show. It is such a nice feeling to have people that I have grown up with, come out to NYC to be able to see how much I have grown since my high school art years.

Last but not least, thanks to my family back in Cleveland, who sent me beautiful flowers to celebrate my opening. It all started with their support back in highschool, and of course, buying me those expensive art supplies for Sr. Lucia's class ;) . Thank you!

For any one new to seeing my work that picked up one of my postcards at Klatch, welcome! And thanks for checking out my blog. I hope you will frequent my blog and website often to see new work that I put up.

And for those of you haven't been to Smog and Smokestacks, go to:
Klatch coffee shop...9 Maiden Lane in the Financial District (just south of Fulton)
and my closing reception Thursday August 30th 5-7pm. Light appetizers will be provided and drinks can be purchased.
