Some fresh new berry bowls just in time for some fresh Spring berries… also ready for my first few art fairs! First up… the Schaumburg Prairie Arts Festival on Memorial Day weekend. Well look at me trying something “new” by having these ready ahead of time!!! Shocking, I know!!!

A special THANK YOU to everyone who came out to see us this weekend at our “4×4” gallery show in Evanston this weekend. It was exciting to show-off some new work made just for this show! Like some larger wall pieces & collaborations. Thanks again to all who made it out. We really appreciate your support & enthusiasm!

Another fun-filled day & night at “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS” yesterday… surrounded by some good friends, fans, followers & people admiring our artwork. Always fun to spend the day with great art & good friends! Like these three talented “cohorts in crime”… Meghann, Sarah & Darlys! You gotta love having talented friends!!!

We have one more day to share the fun…
today from 12-noon to 4:00pm at Space 900 Gallery in Evanston. C’mon by… and bring some friends!

Quick pics from last night’s Opening Night of “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS” at Space 900 Gallery in Evanston. We had a great time visiting with friends & followers! Looking forward to more fun today & tomorrow!

Getting ready for Day Two of “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS”…
and I just knew we might need a little “sustenance” to get us through the day!!!

So we’re all set-up… and getting ready to open the doors!? “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS” is going live!!

Three days of fun at Space 900 Gallery in Evanston. We hope that some of you will be able to make it over to see us & the art pieces we’ve been working on during the cold months of Winter! Perhaps even treat yourself to a little art… or maybe a gift for someone else!!! Plenty to see… all handmade one-of-a-kind pieces!

Shades of blue… hence the theme… “Interpretations of Blue.”

Gallery Opening tomorrow!!! Hard to believe it’s finally here!

“4×4″ : FOUR MAKERS” is this weekend. Three show days in Space 900 Gallery in Evanston. Not only will each of the four artists be displaying their own individual work… but we’ll also have a special group collaboration project on display. We’ve all worked on our own interpretation of “blue” inside the beautiful wooden frames handmade by Meghann. Sixteen frames of blue. I can’t wait to see them all together this weekend!

Well, it’s Monday… and the “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS” show opens in just four days!!! Final plans, preparations & projects are all underway! Pulling together lots of great handmade artwork by four talented friends… Sarah Chapman, Darlys Ewoldt, Meghann Sottile & myself. A pop-up gallery show at Space 900 Gallery in Evanston, Illinois. It’s not that far north of the City, and will be well worth the trip! Come see some one-of-a-kind projects that will never travel to art fairs… because you can’t display everything in a flimsy white tent!!! HA!!!

Mark your calendars… “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS” is next weekend! Hard to believe we’re already at the end of the month?! Sarah, Darlys, Meghann & I would love to see you stop by Space 900 Gallery next weekend. I know we’re all still “frantically” working on our collaboration projects, let alone pulling together everything else we need to put on a great gallery show. Fingers crossed…
