Is it too early to think about spring? I think not! There are so many things about spring that I love to celebrate in my work. The flowers, most of all… but also the birds and the sun… it’s not to soon to think about these things when I am creating new work.
There are so many new opportunities for this year that I hardly know where to start. I am excited to be a guest artist at the Loveland Studios on Main for the next few “Second Saturdays.” It’s a fun evening out like Pendleton, but in beautiful historic Loveland. I will begin this relationship on February 14 from 6-10PM. Jamie Morath is my hostess. Come enjoy Valentine’s Day with some “Hearts and Flowers” from my collection.
A one person show of my teacups/coffee cups opens in March at the Heaven’s Roast Coffee in the Loveland area. The opening is March 21st- a Saturday afternoon. It is a beautiful space that hosts artists for one month shows and, of course, has the best coffee and tea in the area. The last show that I saw there was a beautiful collection by Maureen Holub.
April will be a huge month for me…first, the opening of a two person show at the Pop Revolution Gallery on 42 in Mason. It is a beautiful space next door to Gallery 42. The main street in Mason is fast becoming the in place for the arts in the northern Cincinnati area. My show will focus on Pop Portraits as well as some mixed media work. It promises to be a bold and colorful show with a lively opening. (their last opening counted near 1,000 people!) That date is yet to be determined… I will get back to you on that. Also in April is the annual fundraiser/silent auction of art celebrating nature at the Cincinnati Nature Center. Again, I don’t have the exact date but will have it soon. I have again been invited to contribute and plan to submit three pieces. Last year this event was a great success and this year promises to be equally successful. Great art and a worthy cause!
There are some other opportunities in the works that I will fill you in on when they happen. I hope to be involved with the Cincinnati Flower Show this year and am exploring several other options. As always, I look forward to seeing you at any/all of these events. I will be absent from the Final Friday at Pendleton this month due to this week’s foot surgery… but my work will be there! My three buddies in Studio #414 will be there and will be happy to greet you should you visit.
Happy 2009!
