There are many things going on in the studio these days! Let me just touch on a few of them here.
The 40th Annual Trees Exhibit at the Elk Grove Public Library is ending on April 30th, 2022. It’s always so fun to see all the different interpretations of a common theme, such as trees.
After that, our poetry collaboration between the AAEGV and the IL Poet Society begins on April 30th, 2022 with an artist reception from 1-3pm at the library. The poets will be there reading their poems while we view the artist’s interpretation of the poem through a visual painting. They will be on display the entire month of May.
On Saturday, April 23rd, 2022, One Inspired Evening will hold it’s art auction in order to raise money for the homeless people in Chicago. I love this organization because they bring people off the street and give them clothing, food, shelter and teach them how to cook and interview. The One Inspired Evening Gala is the culmination of their training! They become the chefs and servers and make a beautiful evening for all the artists who donated and many sponsors.
The next event that I’m participating in is the Mother Earth Market at Brushwood Center in Ryerson Woods. It is a magical location with a historical home where the art is held, hiking trails all around, and a working farm in the back. The event will begin online for a couple days culminating with an in person market through Mother’s Day 2022.
