Art East

If you love art this coming weekend's (October 18 & 19, 2008) event is right up your alley. ARTEAST is an event designed to showcase the artists who live and work in Madison County, Illinois. Artists from this region participate by opening their studios to the public or participating in exhibits. Over 200 artists working in a wide range of disciplines including collage, painting, ceramics, photography, printmaking, sculpture, glass and digital media show their work and demonstrate their craft. The venues (where the art is displayed) include buildings with historical or architectural interest, as well as local art galleries and shops.

Organized as a self-guided tour for patrons, ARTEAST provides an opportunity to get a glimpse into the workspace, inspiration and techniques of our resident artists, while exploring the neighborhoods, historic city centers and beautiful countryside. During ARTEAST you might decide to studio hop, stroll the downtown areas or embark on a mission to uncover that “must find” piece.

I will be showing my pieces at the Flanigan Law Offices in Edwardville, IL. The address is 120 N. Main St., Edwardsville, IL. This weekend's work will only feature one portrait, my daughter Ella when she was only 4 weeks old. The other pieces are a result of my obsession to capture the small details of life. Here are a few of the pieces I will be showing this weekend.









If you would like to purchase any of the pieces from the show please email me and let me know which pieces you would like to purchase. I hope to see you at the show.
