12×12 at Artspace MAGQ and Open Studio at Blu Moon Studio of Art

School was out this week and although it was quiet at Blu Moon it was a busy week for me. On Friday, April 26 I introduced three new works at the group show 12×12at Artspace MGQ. This was a great show, and the format for the work was 12″x12″ digitally produced work… an interesting premise with great results. The range of interpretation among the participating artists was very intriguing, and the presentation of the show, a “mosaic’ of lined up 12×12 inch images was very effective. I was very pleased with the series I created for this show.. entitled ” Nirvana”, consisting of three digital prints that I reworked with acrylic paint, silver leaf and colored pencil. Titled “Compassion” , ” Enigma”, and ” Dharma”, I think the three worked very well. On the evening of Saturday,March 3, I opened the doors of Blu Moon Studio for the first Saturday Gallery walk in the Grove. Along with my original artwork and giclee prints, I displayed examples of work created by my students in myadult acrylic painting class, my Portfolio preparation class, as well as my Mixed Media class for kids age 7-12. My visitors were given a tour of my beautiful art studio and enjoyed a glass of wine (or two) and some pleasant company. This will be an on-going event, and I hope to have some interesting exhibits and happenings as the year goes on.

Greetings and Happy 2010 from Blu Moon Studio in beautiful Coconut Grove! I wish everyone a new year filled with optimism and inspiration! I think that after a difficult and challenging 2009 we are all ready to lighten up a bit and face the future with a spirit or renewal and creativity. This won’t solve the planets difficulties , but might allow us to find new paths and solutions to old problems. At any rate, a lighter heart helps to make things around you lighter… Blu Moon Studio of Art will continue to offer classes, workshops and events to nurture your creative spirit and inspire you . Whether you are an experienced artist or a beginner who” can’t draw a straight line “, I hope you will find something at Blu Moon to awaken your imagination. I will be offering many of the same classes in 2010 and I will be adding new ones as well. I have some very interesting workshops and events planned too, so stay tuned!

I am currently working with a very talented and ambitious group of young artists in my Portfolio Preparation for Art Magnets class as they approach the dates of their art magnet school auditions. It takes dedication, focus and perseverance to prepare for these auditions, but they are rising to the challenge. The hard work is well worth the opportunity to attend the terrific programs offered by Dash, New World and others. My Portfolio Prep.class provides the structure, feedback and guidance that can help an aspiring applicant attain their goals. It is never too early to start preparing for the auditions, and my classes resume the week of January 4.

I will also continue to offer painting classes for adults in the up-coming year. I currently have a basic acrylic painting class on Monday evenings from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. and an intuitive acrylic painting class on Saturdays from 12:30-2:30. I also offer private classes in painting in oil or acrylic by appointment for $50.00 an hour. I will be adding other classes in a variety of media in the months to come.. please check my blog or website for updates…

I hope you will visit my studio and it is my hope that you will have a beautiful and happy new year. Remember, the key to your creativity lies within you!
