Closing Reception:  July 16th, 2010 6-9pm
704 S Wabash Ave. Chicago, IL 60605
(708)369-4742

The month at Elephant Room Art Gallery was hectic- opening reception, private viewing, yoga class with yoga instructor, painting class (both classes developed around the topic of the show), and the closing event. A well attended exhibit throughout the month by gallery visitors and passing by pedestrians who were able to view the show through the street glass windows. 


There was a nice size photo of "Contemplation on the Reader

and a nice short review written by Jeffrey Mcnary

Mcnary really captured the essence of my work
and part of me as well.


So... for those of you that came to the different events or were unable to attend 
but find the way to get in contact with me- thank you for your support;
for those that are interested in purchasing one of my paintings- thank you very much, you help to purchase art materials and my time so I can continue painting;
and for those that did not get their butts to the show ... you have one more opportunity to show up!
at the closing.

There are two more events coming up this year in Los Angeles, CA
and in Dubois, Wyoming, and of course, my traditional December open studio event when I invite other artists to show their work at my studio. I will fill you in the details later on.
The series "Freedom for Sale" will be soon available for viewing on my web site.
Keep checking it.

Painting Meditation Workshop @ Lill Street Art Center

On a nice Sunday mid morning in June, I had the opportunity and pleasure to teach the workshop "Painting Meditation" at Lill Street Art Center. The class was composed of nine vivacious and creative participants who were ready to access their creative selves through meditation: Adriana C., Claudia R., Elizabeth N., Maaureen B., Michelle G., Peter C.,Sarah S., Shruti S., Lydia T. The class focused mostly on the process instead of the final product. It was a fun group to work with. Below are some of their artwork:
