First, I was one of the 150 artists officially selected to showcase work in "Peace Rises" the 2011 Peace Project exhibit. This amazing exhibit showcases peace-themed art and photography from all over the world and travels to galleries in California, New York and Africa. Proceeds from the sales go towards the rehabilitation of people (mostly children) that have been ravaged by the strife in Sierra Leone. The Gala Opening of "Peace Rises" in Los Angeles has already passed, but it will go to Orange County on November 4th, 6-9:30pm, at Expo Arts Center, 4321 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach, CA. For more information, visit The Whole 9. Admission is free.
The piece I have as a part of this exhibit is my photo, Treasure of Wishes.
Second, I am excited to be showing two paintings in "Sound Affects Art" 2-night event. This event will host the works of over 40 artists, 7 bands, live painters, video visual artists, and more. Art patrons in attendance will be given mp3 players and quality headphones, enabling them to take the "Sound Affects Art Journey". This journey takes you through the gallery and through your mind as you view art from over 40 artists who have completed work to music of their choice. Listen to the music the artists listened to and connect with their inspiration. The show is on November 4th and 5th, 6pm-2am, Think Tank Gallery, 939 Maple Ave. #200 Los Angeles, CA. For more information visit Sound Affects Art. Cost is $10 at the door.
The pieces I have as a part of this exhibit are my paintings, Of Chimneys and Crows and Symphonie de la Lune
Last, but certainly not least, I have been nominated for Artist of the Year representing Hollywood in the 2011 RAWards! I beat out a multitude of talented artists in the first round of online voting to become one of only 5 semi-finalists in the Art category. We will all be showcasing and competing together along with the semi-finalists in the other categories (photography, performing art, music, etc..) and a LIVE VOTE at the end of the night will determine who makes it to the Finals! I need all the support and votes I can get, so please come out and see this amazing, eclectic show! The show is on November 17th, 6:30pm-Midnight, The Playhouse, 6506 Hollywood Blvd. Hollywood, CA. For more information and to buy tickets early at a discount, visit RAWArtists Hollywood Showcase. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 the week of and $20 at the door. 21+ only, cocktail attire.
I'm not sure exactly which pieces I will be showing at this event, yet, but I am leaning towards my paintings Woman Emerging, Sweets to the Sweet and Bonjour Petit Ami, for starters.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read all this, and I HOPE to see you at a show!!!
