"As It Comes ..." Is One Of Lakeshore Arts' "1000 Acts Of Art"

 

 

Lakeshore Arts, who has kindly accepted me into their "Art Squared" Outdoor Art Show taking place this weekend, has begun an amazing project called "1000 Acts of Art". The project was spearheaded by Lakeshore Arts to celebrate artists, arts organizations and people, like yourself who understand the importance art plays in our everyday lives.

With recent funding cuts in grant programs and with a diminishing commitment to arts at the elementary and secondary education level, it is important to promote the arts as a valuable and essential foundation in building healthy and vital neighbourhoods and to get people involved.
Their goal is to stimulate economic revitalization, foster civic pride and capture imaginations in the Lakeshore community.

Necklaces @ My Upcoming Shows!

 

In preparation for my two upcoming shows "The Sunnyside Beach Juried Art Show & Sale" and "Art Squared: Etobicoke's Outdoor Art Show" I have spent the last few days and am still making my beautiful art pendant necklaces.  In celebration of my very first outdoor show experience I decided to offer a limited edition "All That Girls Love" pendant necklace in bronze. Only four have been made so they are very special.  I have also decided to introduce two new art pendant necklaces featuring the art pieces "Lothlorien" and "Life Lines".  I hope they will be a hit!

NOW AVAILABLE: Art Bookmarks!

 

 

As promised, I will be offering beautiful bookmarks that feature my artwork!  Each bookmark was printed in my studio on Supreme Satin photo paper.  They feature a silky smooth tassel and a luxurious bead.  Different combinations of beads and tassels were chosen by me (the artist) in order to make each and every bookmark unique.  To top it all off, one of my lovely Malinda Prud'homme stickers was put on the back of each bookmark.  Here is the front and back view of one of my many bookmarks!

NOW AVAILABLE: Art Note Cards!

I received a very exciting package from my printing company last night!  My new Art Note Cards!  These 8 beautiful note cards will be available at both of my upcoming shows. Again, this gives those who are not at a stage in their life where they can afford original art an opportunity to have a collection of my artwork without having to spend much money. All of these note cards were professionally printed and offer a glossy finish on the front & back and matte finish on the inside. The inside actually features a gorgeous faded black and white version of the art piece on the front.  They can be framed or can be used as birthday cards, get well cards, anniversary cards, you name it! Here is an example of the layout of these gorgeous note cards.  I hope you like them!

NOW AVAILABLE: Art Postcards!

In preparation for my two upcoming outdoor art shows I have decided to begin offering beautiful postcards that feature my most popular pieces of mixed media artwork.  These 16 gorgeous post cards will be available at both of my upcoming shows for a very reasonable price.  What a great opportunity to have a collection of my work without having to spend much money.  All of these postcards were professionally printed and offer a glossy finish on the front and matte finish on the back.  They can be framed or can be mailed out the good ol' fashioned way using the handy backside design. Let me know what you think!

Artwork Coupons For My Upcoming Shows!

 



Here are some coupons that can be used towards my artwork, commissions, art prints, or pendant necklaces.  Please share them with as many people as you can! Hope to see you at one of the shows!

 

 

Farewell Beautiful Greek Islands!

What an amazing trip Darren and I had over the last week!  The Greek Islands are incredibly beautiful, the food is delicious, and the people are kind.  We could not have asked for a better experience. 

I thought it might be fun to share some of my pictures from our favourite moments.  I hope you enjoy!

~P.S. I will be a busy bee over the next two weeks preparing for my two upcoming shows, Sunnyside Beach Juried Art Show & Sale and The Art Squared Art Show.  Stay tuned for updates :)
