Everything works in co-operation with something else.†~ Preston Bradley It is such fun to explore the city and discover pockets of artistic support in so many places, especially during Chicago Artists Month. This weekend I dropped off my Sassy Aphrodite at the […]

FUSEDChicago is participating in Chicago Artists Month with The Buzz, an exhibit at Gallery 303 at Zhou B Art Center, Chicago. My Malachites have been accepted into this show, and I am looking forward to perusing the works by my FUSEDChicago friends. Chicago Artists Month kicks off with the Bridgeport block party: three locations in […]
It’s been a month of milestones. Last year I met a new Meetup Group at the Ravenshood ArtWalk, which has proven to be such a lovely community. This year we didn’t coordinate a group outing, but I enjoyed revisiting the ArtWalk on my own. The Ravenswood ArtWalk kicks off Chicago Artists Month, and showcases fine […]
Fresh on the heels of exploring a fun art show, I am pleased to announce my upcoming exhibits. From September 20 through October 25, Migrant Danaus will be at Dick Blick Evanston’s 12×12 Fall Show. Last year’s show prompted me to enter exhibits, so it is nice to mark the anniversary of that milestone with […]
Rory Coyne’s Marked by Myth show opening was a big bustling party. Playful animal masks were distributed right by the wine station, how convenient! I had brought mine of course. Rory had made these fabulous masks out of paper clay, of which a few are available for sale. Lots of people were milling about discussing […]
I’m looking forward to Rory Coyne’s opening, “Marked by Myth†on Friday.

Reading Rory’s announcement (click for the full scoop) was a vocabulary lesson […]

After contemplating various ideas, I settled on a bookmaking project since it was simple, glue-free, and personizable. I had never ‘led’ a craft project before, so preparing for it was quite fun. When we started […]
