Midland Artists Guild Annual Juried Exhibition 2015 – Time to Celebrate!

I am a member of the Midland Artists Guild in Michigan, a group of artists of all mediums and at all different levels who get together to share their work, socialize, learn new skills, and grow together. For two years I’ve served as the Program Chair on the Board of Directors, which means I get to seek out different guest artists to speak about their journey and present their work at each monthly meeting. Yes, it’s a pretty fun job. Last evening was the opening reception for MAG’s Annual Juried Exhibition – always something to look forward to. There was a wide variety of awesome art (on display at the Grace A Dow Memorial Library mezzanine – if you are in the area I suggest checking it out!), and I got some mind-blowing news. All 3 of my pieces I entered won an award, including Best 2D! It was a total surprise, and I couldn’t be more happy and excited. This year is off to a good start, and I am anticipating many more surprises and adventures. Thank you everyone for all of your interest, kindness, and support.

Work Featured Today In “Found On Redbubble” Front Page!

I got a big surprise this morning, one of my conceptual portraits “I’d Have Been Happier As A Bird” was featured on the found by redbubble front page!

Redbubble in general is amazing, and I can’t believe I have waited this long to set one up. Not everyone is interested in hanging something on their wall, and this site splashes your designs over all kinds of objects you can use in day to day life like T-shirts and tank tops, mugs, phone or tablet cases, stylish tote bags, decorative pillows … Given my interior design background, having my designs printed onto custom pillows makes me way too excited. The prices are very reasonable as well, not much different than what you’d pay for the same items in a “regular” store, and those with boring stock designs decorating them rather than unique artist-made work! Please check out my shop; I am working on some new designs specifically for RedBubble, and will also be adding some more of my more popular fine art work as well. I may just have to feed my coffee addiction and get a travel mug in the “I’d Have Been Happier As A Bird” design for myself :). I’ve always been attached to that piece, and it makes me so happy that others are appreciating it as well. Thank you, world!
