The last weekend of June has become synonymous with the Artwalk in Stamford, Connecticut. It's a time when the city comes alive, artists fill up local businesses with color, musicians make the streets sing. This year I was paired with The Hudson Grille in downtown Stamford for the event.
Stop by Hudson this week to see my artwork, sample the specialty cocktails, enjoy dinner, or dance the night away! The show will be on view through July 20th, 2015.
Summer to me means beaches, travel, and, yes, art shows. While I haven't had a chance to go down to the beach, I have been out and about in the art world a little bit.
About a month ago, The Drawing Room in Cos Cob, CT opened it's new show for the season and I was one of the lucky few artists juried into the exhibition. I've been a regular at the colorful little boutique and cafe for a couple years now and watched with excitement as they developed their own art gallery. It never occurred to me that one day I would be an exhibiting artist there.
The show will be on view at The Drawing Room until September 12th and I encourage you to stop by! If not for the artwork, at least for the signature iced teas, fresh baked goodies, and handmade home accessories.
I'm excited to share that my work is on view until September 6th at Stamford's Fernando Luis Alvarez Gallery as part of their annual "Thank You, CT" group show. Stop by and check out my work along with those of other captivating artists such as Holly Danger, Ruben Marroquin, and Teek Eaton-Koch.
“Now in our fourth year, we have exhibited over 40 different local artists,” Fernando Luis Alvarez, gallery director, said. “By offering up our platform to showcase their work, we continue on our promise to our community and state to continue building the cultural landscape of Connecticut.” Read the full story at Culture Cache.
The Stamford Downtown Special Services District transformed Stamford into a living art exhibit for the last weekend in June; arranging artist meet and greets, live music and art classes and I was lucky enough to be among the featured artist's at this year's Art Walk.
Over 30 merchants in the downtown area opened their doors to host local artists. I was stationed at Minuteman Press, while my friends and fellow artists Bob Callahan was at Lucky's and Holly Danger at the Lorca Coffee Shop.
For the occasion Meg Dalton also organized an interactive public art project - a Before I Die Wall - that invited people to reflect on their lives and what matters most. A lot of people shared their wish to travel (everywhere on this world and even to the Moon!), someone hoped to "fall in love, again", and another "to own a lamb."
I'm also very excited to share that my artwork will be on exhibit again in Stamford at the Fernando Luis Alvarez Gallery's annual "Thank You, CT!" show that opens this Saturday. This year the show was judged by the well-known art critic Anthony Haden-Guest, so I can't wait to see all the other pieces on display!
