SCOPE / Art Basel 2013

Along with all the hubbub of the December shows I posted about previously, I was also fortunate enough to participate in SCOPE / Art Basel in Miami! (Dec 3- Dec 8th) Thanks to the fabulous Liz of Bunny Cutlet Gallery, a number of my pieces were on exhibit at SCOPE and I was able to attend the fair and work the booth while supporting the gallery and it's exhibiting other artists. Below are some images from the event, many images pilfered from Bunny Cutlet Gallery's Facebook page :P (go like their page now!)

My walk to work during SCOPE. Sure as hell beats my NYC Times Square commute :P

Gift Wrapped

Gift Wrapped Show at Clutter Magazine

The show opened December 14th to a blustery snow storm up in Beacon, NY. I like the idea of this show - small, affordable pieces by a number of different artists that you can purchase and carry out that night if you'd like. A perfect idea for holiday gift giving! One-of-a-kind gifts :) They even had custom wrapping paper (adorable!)

Wrapping paper was part of my inspiration for my contributions to the show - ribbons, bows, and shiny gold!

Winter Salon

Stranger Factory's Annual Winter Salon exhibit opened December 6th with an amazing cast of exhibiting artists and I'm glad to have been a part of it! I went with darker theme for this particular show to match my mood about the long stretch of colder, shorter days ahead...
