An Artist is Born!

This past weekend was the Trenton Art All Night Exhibit at the Roebling Wire Works building.  It's always a great time; twenty-four hours of continuous great art, great music and great food.  What more could you ask for!  The show is open to absolutely anyone, but each artist can only submit one work.  After years of trying to convince my husband Tim that he should enter something, he finally decided to give it a try.  The piece he entered was a re-purposed work; a grouping of old handles and all-thread made into his Industrial Garden, dropped into a box made from reclaimed wood.

What's the best news about this? His piece sold!!!  I couldn't be more proud of the newest artist in the family.  It's about time he was recognized for how creative and skilled he is! 

 Oh yeah, I entered a piece too: Yale Trio.  It did not sell, so if you're interested, let me know. (It's the painting in the center of the photo below.)  Meantime, take advantage of all the great art venues in and around the city this summer. My next show is Saturday, August 1st at Wiggins Park on the Camden Waterfront. It's a first time for this Wine, Beer and Arts Fest, so it should be interesting to see how it goes. 

Peddler's Village Fine Arts Festival

This weekend, June 6th and 7th, I'll once again be part of the Peddler's Village Fine Arts Festival.  If you've never been there its well worth the trip.  The whole green is full of vendors selling everything from paintings and sculptures to jewelry and pottery.  Peddler's is always one of my favorite places - so much better than a mall - and on festival days its really special.  Besides all the vendors, there's plenty of food and music all weekend.

Last year, I was working on the Winter Bee Box at the show, and was very proud to be given 2nd place in the Fine Arts division.  I'm hoping for good things again this year.

I'll be set up down by the Country Accents store, so come by and say hello.  I expect to be working on my newest bee box painting - Burke's Bees.  Hope to see you there!  Show runs Saturday and Sunday, 10 to 6pm.
