one-night only art show THIS friday!

earlier this week i got the confirmation that i'll be putting up another solo art show this coming friday at sora asian dining as part of downtown provo's first friday art chase! 

the actual location is going to be a little bit tricky to set up art, but we'll make it work. besides, sora has fantastic food and apparently a band will be playing as well. read: music, food, art. need i say more?

i hope i see you there so you can get first dibs on some limited edition prints i'll be selling! those who come to the show get first priority.

however, i want to make prints of work that you actually want to buy...so check out the pieces below, then vote right now on my [shiny new] facebook page! 

[what's your] MUSE?

finally, the long-awaited blog with pictures from my muse show!

huzzah:: okay so first off, i found this on instagram. huzzah!

statistics:: the muse show features 4 diptychs from my bfa show, 4 studies from my bfa show, 1 large piece which i haven't previously blogged about (and will eventually), one new smaller framed piece, and 7 new pieces of cradled art plus including one diptych made specifically for the muse show!

for sale:: the following pieces are for sale! you can still go buy them at muse. if one you like is already sold, check out my new commissions page. and please let me know asap if you'd be interested in prints of any of these...i'm considering making some.

first, the new [smaller framed] piece. this is the painting i ended up doing this night! obviously this is a simliar style to my bfa show. i really enjoyed the process.

Godly Sorrow, SOLD

second, i created the following pieces specifically for this show. i realized that they're all muses in their own way. you can check out my muse flikr set for descriptions and details.

UPDATE: muse of music and salinger's muse have both been SOLD.

[what's your] muse:: as previously mentioned, i also created a piece at the actual art show opening. i titled my art show "[what's your] muse", appropriate as we were at muse music cafe. so i painted my version of a muse. then i wrote down the formal definition of "muse" and had anyone who came to the opening write down what their muse is or what they muse about, and i typographically incorporated those ideas into her hair. check it out! (sorry for the poor quality photo. dim lights and such...)

[what's your] MUSE, SOLD

take a look:: remember, muse is only open on the nights they have events after 8pm. this means you have fooooour (4) more nights to check it out as this comes down january 30...or the 31st. treat yourself to a fun event or some tasty food while you're at it!

sorry this post took so long to get up. ironically, i got sick the night i put the show up and i've been pretty sick ever since. it got worse and after staying home and/or in bed for the last 9 days, i'm hoping to go snag some more pictures of the show for all of you who can't go. i know you're...um...dying to see. probably check my blog every day. ...probably. ;)

MUSE art show at muse

sorry for the last minute-ness of that last post...with an almost-broken foot and the freezing temperatures, getting the art show up was a miracle, let alone posting about it!

i only have two pictures to show right now, but more will come later! (in the rush of trying to get there in time for the opening, i forgot my camera so i'm currently collecting from friends...).

this first photo was right after we finished setting up for four hours (in the freezing building whose heat had been turned off for the break!)

THANK YOU to normandie, robby and mariah for helping me set up. and mariah, for letting me wear your boots. :) thanks to darcie and debby for being patient in the cold as well!

and this next photo documents the unique part of opening night: i took a painting to work on while i was there and the people who came to the opening contributed their ideas to it. after they wrote their ideas from a prompt i gave them, i incorporated them into the painting. i was pretty happy with how it turned out (again...more pictures later). sorry for the wonky pseudo-illustrative quality of the photo. the settings were wrong on my dear mother's camera so it came out weird-looking. or maybe cooler than it really is? 

anyway, thanks to all those who came to the event! if you didn't, go check out the art if you missed it. it's at muse music cafe and will be up through january. and while you're at it, treat yourself to some sweet concert or maybe the delicious cafe food. make sure to check their schedule though. as it is a music venue, they're only open at night.

solo show TONIGHT

surprise!!

i'm excited to be showing my art at muse music cafe (151 N University Ave, Provo, Utah) as part of provo's first friday art chase. huzzah? i think yes.

included will be pieces from my november BFA show, "the grey area" so if you missed it, here's your second chance! if not, come hang out anyway. there will also be some other pieces as well as maybe some surprises. :)

sorry for the late notice; there were some.....interesting setbacks this week.

bottom line?
free. music. food. art.
