Brickbottom Open Studios 2016

Brickbottom Open Studios are always interesting and fun!  Over 1000 people came through the building, according to our counters.  And, with over 100 artists between the Brickbottom complex and nearby Joy Street Studios there was a lot for those visitors to see.

A good chunk of those folks came through my studio – engaging in conversation, enjoying my work, and buying some too!  I sold over a dozen paintings overall.

I can’t express enough gratitude to everyone who came out to talk, look, and buy.  The investment in my passion gives me a boost (mentally and monetarily) to keep painting.  The conversations I have during these events also provides insight and fresh perspectives about my work.

Among those sold:

And special thanks to Lance, who puts up with 3 days of furniture moving, curtain hanging, labelling, and a steady flow of strangers marching through the house.

 

 

SOLD!

What an incredible weekend!  I am fortunate to live in a community that appreciates and engages the arts as much as Somerville does.

A huge thank you to the dozens of people who came through my space to view, buy, and best of all – talk about art!

Talking to people about my work is the most valuable part of Open Studios because it opens me up to many new ideas.  It is a profound experience to create something that – to me- can only mean one thing, and then observe ten people engage and relate to the same painting from ten unique perspectives.

Another big thank you to the patrons who like my work enough to buy it.  I’m sad to see these paintings go – but I know they are all going to good homes!  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.
