Please come visit me at Gray Sky Gallery April 18th and 19th, from 12pm to 5pm for an ART WILL SAVE YOU pop-up shop of fun hand-printed up-cycled shirts, stickers, and other products designed to spread this message, encourage human connection, and boost community wellness through art-making. 5% of (AWSY) products is donated to community art and mental health programs.

PS. I will also be hosting a (FREE!) community art-making table on location purely for the fun of it! 

When I checked out the Mitsui Real Estate Group’s space in January, I was drawn to the reflections from the large green-tinted glass lights. That’s the cue I used to curate images for this show. So, lights, thank you. I might otherwise have been lost in a deep dark hole of years and years of photographs!

I chose encaustic (wax over) images (printed on Torchon paper, which gives a slight watercolor texture) so that the reflections from the lights would be in play. I also tried something brand new - image transfers, which are so fun (and not unlike childbirth!). After a lot of sweat and a few burns, this is what made it up on the walls for the March West Seattle Art Walk.

Come see me on 3/14 for the West Seattle Art Walk at 6021B California Ave SW starting at 5pm!

Oh, added bonus and something to do for those who aren’t into mingling/talking - ART WILL SAVE YOU will be sponsoring a little art-making table to keep your hands busy and hearts happy!
