The Abstract Show

Abstract hard is a contentious topic, and I don’t quite understand it all the time. Nonetheless, I found myself submitting my Hexaptych to the Abstract 4 Show juried by Ahavani Mullen. One of my pieces, Infinity, was accepted into the show. I’ll be among familiar FUSEDChicago artists, including Carol Hamilton, Rebecca Stahr, Carol L. Meyers, […]

2nd Fridays at Chicago Arts District

On Friday, June 10, the 1800 block of South Halsted Street will be the place to be for Art Aficionados. I discovered during out DOT Show opening that the Chicago Arts District hosts art walks along Halsted, giving out maps at 1821 S. Halsted Street. (Corner of 18th and Halsted). The Chicago Arts District hosts […]

Installing the DOT Show

So after all the dot-making, the time came to load everything into a car. Drawing Dottie assisted in packing everything up. The Dot Show is an exhibition of 14 FUSEDChicago members at the Chicago Arts District in Pilsen which opens May 13 with a reception in ShowPOD7, from 6 to 10 pm at 1834 S. […]

Preparing for the DOT Show

I’ve been toggling between doilies and dots this past month. After my show opening at Creative Coworking I launched into dot-making for the next exhibit. The DOT Show has been in the making for about a year. It is an exhibition of 14 FUSEDChicago members at the Chicago Arts District in Pilsen. The show was […]

A lovely local pop-up

Art & Wine Night at Creative Coworking is always a fun event, but even more exciting when you’re an exhibitor. On March 18 numerous Evanstonians perused the artful mixed media collages of Melanie Deal. They also chatted under my encaustic and steel wire works on the opposite wall. I also popped up with my jewelry, […]

Hanging my 2-person Show

It’s been a fun few months preparing for Friday’s Show Opening. After creating all the substrates and bending the shapes to go on top of the pieces I had to attach the hanging hardware before fusing everything together. Then I fused the wire to the encaustic backgrounds and did the hanging test to make sure […]

Art Making Time

It’s 23 days until my show at Creative Coworking, and I am beginning to feel the push. This weekend was spent recovering from a very hectic week covering my roles with NEW, FUSEDChicago, and as a jewelry vendor. So now I need to switch gears back to larger collages and get the ideas I have […]

Edges Show Opening

Encaustic art has grabbed my heart since I first learned about it through Suze Weinberg. I now preside over the group that inspired me so in the beginning, and love attending exhibits by my friends. Kelly Mathews, Kathy Blankley Roman, Denise Marych, Amanda Jolley, Catherine Keebler, Laura LaRue, Dan Addington and Kari Hall Morpho Gallery […]

The making of my Edges submission

This summer has been so busy that a deadline on my calendar snuck op on me. I only had one day before submissions were due for Edges, Morpho Gallery’s fourth annual encaustic show. I was part of Wax(‘N)Blue two years ago and always love the way this annual show comes together. I decided to continue […]

Friends in mid-June Openings

Mid-June seems to be the time for many gallery openings. I attended 4 between Thursday and Sunday. I was Ahavani Mullen’s “plus one” for Art in Motion, which turned into a “presidential” FUSEDChicago gathering. (Ahavani is a vice president and I am co-President). There was an auction for paintings done by patients of the rehabilitation […]
