Gallery Grand Opening

This Friday, February 22nd, I'll have some of my paper dolls in the Papercuts & Gluesticks Gallery in Rocky River. It is a brand new little gallery owned by Kari Sanford, and this opening on Friday night will be its "grand" opening. Kari was kind enough to contact me last week after seeing my work on Etsy. Even though it is very last-minute, I'm excited to be part of an up-and-coming gallery, especially one so close to my apartment!
Please take a look at the gallery's site (partially under construction) and Kari's blog.
If you're near, drop by the opening, which begins at 7PM!

Celebrate Whomever You Are Inclined to Adore...

I want to wish a Cheerful Valentine's Day to all my dear friends!

Grinning Gratitude

An enormous "Thank You!" to Lorajean of the blog Lorajean's Magazine. She was kind enough to present me as her first ever Featured Artist!

It's wonderful and bizarre to see myself as the sole subject of such an article, and I'm terribly grateful to her for her generosity. Please make your way over to her blog and take a look at her posts. She's got some great inspiration to share.

More Pieces Added!

My shop is slowly expanding, including the appearance of the little ink drawings I've been working on for the past few months. Each one has a name and a tiny biography. Once those are all up, I'll be starting on a new batch of work - although not quite sure yet of what it will be...

Here I am!

The store is up and running, although at the moment only my "Dramatis Personae" paper dolls and my thesis prints are available. In the next day or two, the little ink drawings from my last blog post will start appearing as well!

I welcome any feedback or comments - I'd love to improve where I can!
Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement and support!

Sneak Peek!

Here are a few of the tiny ink portraits that will be available in my Etsy shop. I have already finished nearly 40 pieces, each being 4"x6" on 3-ply strathmore.

Note: When I announce the Etsy opening this weekend, I'll post a link and give further details about where to find me :)

Look For Me Soon On...

In the very near future, I'll have my shop up and running! Please check back later this week for updates, links and a sampling of the available pieces!

Couple New Valentine's Cards

Even more of my currently-available Valentine's cards can be viewed here.

Minuscule Sketches For Miniature Portraits

These and many others will appear as cleaner, finer, more detailed black & white, pen & ink framed versions in the AG Gallery show I'm sharing with Laura Mayes in March.
