The Art Opening

Hello friends
Here are a couple photos from the opening at The Good Life in Wayzata held last Friday. It was a wonderful evening. Thank you to my friends who came! Your presence was very much appreciated. It was a great party and the combination of artist's work was fabulous. The show remains up through January 15. Special thanks to Anne Davidson, owner of the Good Life, who gives artists a beautiful venue to exhibit and sell our work and has a shop filled with unique and beautiful treasures to give as a gift or buy for yourself. Check it out! You'll be happy you did.

A side-note: The cast was not part of the intended attire for the evening. Unfortunately I fell down the stairs and broke my hand. I was grateful that art for the show had been delivered. Cheers!

A Good Day in the Studio

It was a good day in the studio. I'm doing somethings I haven't shown before. What do you think? The opening reception for the show is a week from tomorrow. I have lots more I want to do. Stay tuned.

Buy from Artists and Shop Independents

Hello friends. This is a reminder that independent businesses and artists can really use our support when shopping this Christmas season. Here are a few of my favorites and a great place for you to start your shopping! I am in a show at The Good Life in Wayzata. The show starts with an opening reception on Friday, November 21. You are all invited. Anne always throws a great party! The Good Life is a gallery gift shop. You'll find jewelry, wall art, stationery, pottery and many, many unique gift items.

You're sure to find a gift that will please and probably lots of art that you want for your own home at Krista Artista in Anoka. If you haven't been there you owe it to yourself to check it out. You'll find art by one of my favorite artists, Glenn Quist. Krista has a wonderful selection of jewelry and pottery as well.

Many of you know I work at a shop in Maple Grove called Stonecrop. Whether you're looking for a gift, home decor or exceptional holiday decorations, you'll appreciate the finds at Stonecrop.

For more great gift items and art by local artists:
CorAzon, two locations in Minneapolis.
Or in Hudson, Wisconsin, check out the new location of Seasons on St. Croix.

Or how about a metal bird, a grove of trees or beautiful jewelry from Sue Seeger? A purse or purse pattern from Scrap-Bags and Jamie Kalvestran. How about a clay pendant from St. Paul artist, Miriam Shuros, available on ETSY.com? Like I said, I have lots and lots of suggestions!

I am here to help you find the perfect gift if you need me! I'd be happy to be your personal shopping assistant. Shop in support of small businesses who support local artists! Peace.
