a couple of more shows to mention

2008-07-12T02:21:00.000-07:00

Right now I have a show up at Collins Pub in Pioneer Square, around 16 paintings done within the last year or so. This is a new one I included, I call it "Birdstack."

My husband and I went to Collins Pub last Thursday, for the First Thursday Art Walk. Hadn't been to the Pioneer Square art walk in several years and we enjoyed it... there were quite a lot of people out in the streets and galleries, we both really liked Julie Paschkis' embroidered linen wall hangings and gouache paintings at Grover Thurston and all the lovely pottery at Laguna. Back to Collins Pub..they have a great beer selection and very good food, and thanks so much to Heather for giving me a show there!

Ollie Octopus screen print

2007-12-29T10:44:00.000-08:00

Here is a little print that I made with my sister Candice yesterday...she was up from L.A. for the holidays and wanted a crash course in screen printing so we made a fun afternoon of it. She is a smart girl and took to it immediately, pulling perfect prints every time. I can't wait to see the prints she plans on doing once she's back home.
Here is a good tutorial on screen printing with the photo-stencil method, courtesy of Etsy Labs.

Matryoshka Block Prints

2007-11-26T08:34:00.000-08:00

Inspired by the trend of sweet folk art that I've been seeing in magazines and on Etsy, I've made some new block prints with images of Matryoshkas (Russian nesting dolls). My sister and I had dolls like this when we were little and they just make me feel so nostalgic for the crafty, folksy, Sunset magazine decorating-part of the seventies.
