A trip to the 'tute

 

This past Monday my family and I went to the Art Institute of Chicago to see the Cezanne exhibit. After we finished seeing the very extensive collection, we decided to explore other exhibits in the museum. Two that stood out for me was the Mel Bochner exhibit and Recollections of Tokyo both of which inspired me by the use of color and lines. The prints from the Tokyo exhibit definitely make me want to explore printmaking. And Mel Bochner's work reminded me of the energy from when I was in art school and I definitely want to find ways to bring that energy back into my work. 

What about you? What exhibits have you seen recently? 

Photos from Sunday's Makers Market

The Evanston Made Makers Market was this past Sunday. It was nice to see so many collectors and connections. Although it was a very hot and humid day, we were in a covered area so there was no issue with rain. All in all, it was a good day. 

The next one is on October 2nd - hope to see you there!

Ready for the next market!

Three pieces now up at Creative CoWorking

Ways to support local artists

 

I saw a meme recently that said "The work of local artists is not sitting on cargo ships" and thought it would be helpful to offer some ideas of a few places to buy art in person.

If you live in the Evanston/Chicago area, there are two shows going on right now through December:

Evanston Made Holiday Market
921 Church Street, Evanston IL
Through December 19th
*my sketches on canvas are for sale including In Snow (pictured)

Evanston Art Center Winter Expo
1717 Central Street, Evanston IL
Through December 20th
*my note cards are for sale including Winter Line (pictured)

If you don't live in the Chicago area, Evanston Made has an online shop 

Wishing you all the best this holiday season!
-Cheers

 It snowed... a lot. But it was still a good show. 

I loved that it was also a show for young 

entrepreneurs to sell their wares and 

that there was a lot for children to do

while their parents shopped.

Last night Paperish Mess was packed for the grand opening! It was really fun to see all the artists that are a part of this community and their friends having a good time. There were so many goodies there that I'm going to have to go back just to do some serious holiday shopping. You might want to think of doing the same if you are in the area.   I went with a friend and we spent the whole time checking out everything there and wanting to buy much of it as gifts. Hint: if you are someone I normally give a holiday gift to, expect a gift from Paperish Mess. Seriously. It's that good.
