A Fresh Start!!
Hola & Happy New Year!
I am looking forward to a fresh new start to 2012…getting my new (and improved) studio running, setting goals, and getting on with some new & exciting work . I love this opportunity, it gives me space to reflect and explore and time to develop future projects. I can’t wait to get started…Hope to see YOU on the road!
Stone Soup (an art sale…and a party!)
As the holiday grows nearer (and I get busier), I have just 2 more events before the year comes to a close. I hope to see you at these warm & joyous holiday events…
Thursday evening Dec 22nd, join me and 10 art buddies at the fabulous Stone Soup Kitchen. We will be showing and selling our work from 6pm-10pm. Bring your friends and come on over to the Holiday Art Sale & Party. Location: 584 Woodward Avenue. If you haven’t been to Stone Soup yet, it’s between Grant Park & Cabbagetown, just off Memorial Dr, near the Oakland Cemetary.
The Spruill Gallery!
As the holiday grows nearer (and I get busier), I have just 2 more events before the year comes to a close. I hope to see you at these warm & joyous holiday events…
Saturday afternoon Dec 17th, join me (and a dozen fantastic jewelers) for a trunkshow at the Spruill Gallery. On this one afternoon, we will each be showing at this special invitational trunkshow. All the artists will be in attendance, so come out and meet your favorite jewelers at the gallery. The event is from 11am-3pm. Location: 4681 Ashford Dunwoody Rd.
New-The Blue Market!!
Next up on the Holiday Show Horizon…The Blue Market, a brand new local Atlanta artist market featuring art, gifts, music and food! It will be held at Blue Mark Studios (hence the name “The Blue Market”). The venue is located in Atlanta’s West Midtown area and this is the grand opening event! It is one day only this coming SUNDAY December 11th from 12PM to 5PM.
The Blue Market is a one-of-a-kind artist market & shopping experience. There will be food from the great folks at The Good Food Truck (my favorite food truck!) & Get Baked will be serving up sweets.
Come join us for an afternoon of fun! If you’re not familiar with the building, it is an amazing renovation/restoration of the St. James Church, which now house artist studios, gallery space & is available for private events.

The school offers a challenging academic curriculum along with performing and fine arts at the junior high and high school level.
