Hallwalls A Mid Summer Night's Draw

Last night, I participated in my third A Mid Summer Night's Draw – Live Drawing Rally to benefit Hallwalls. 36 artists create a 12"x18" piece of art in their style in 45 minutes... so fun! Practicing for the event spawned two new colorful series that I hope to share on my website soon. This year, bidding is happening via silent auction and you can bid on the piece I created at the event (below, right) through tonight at 9PM EST. Bidding starts at $39 and there are 35 other awesome works available as well! I hope you will check out this link to bid.

So fun! Here is an in progress photo from the Winter 2017 event.

It is a crazy milestone to think that we have been in this pandemic for a whole year. Last March, I spent 7 days at a residency at Drop Forge & Tool – time that I used to dream for the year ahead. Things were getting very uneasy (and the toilet paper was disappearing off of the shelves) as I drove back from Hudson to Buffalo. Thankfully, we seem to be headed in the right direction with vaccines. Spring is in the air, and the bulbs I planted last year are about to start blooming. I'm hopeful that we will be able to get together again in person very soon!

The one year anniversary of this pandemic feels like such an appropriate time to let some of the Wish You Were Here series find new homes. The series was born in my Mother-in-law's kitchen and are rooted in connection, curiosity and wonder. I've also included many sketches from past collections that are all tied to themes of growth and renewal.

Check out the updated shop – there is a painterly sunset in Hot Springs, Arkansas; a rainbow in Glacier National Park; a dreamy river nestled in the Columbia River Highway in Oregon, and a solid as a rock giant rainbow in Yellowstone National Park. See if any special places resonate with you. Each piece includes a neutral frame, so they are ready to hang on the wall. They are like mini vacations you can visit anytime!

I also have one single pair of beautiful earrings that were alternates to the ones I made for the holidays. Take a look and see what treasures are waiting for you. Thanks as always for supporting me on this creative journey. I can't wait to dive into some new works in the coming months.
