My Paintings

People have been asking about my paintings. I was being shy about sharing because I haven't created anything substantial in such a long time. Don't worry it's one of my new year's resolution to get my butt in gear. If I don't I can no longer call myself an artist and rather I will be just a writer. (which I would rather not do because I'm not very good) I paint in two different style. Figurative and Stripes. I draw and do monoprints too. I thought about easing my way back in with prints. Easy and less committal then a painting. Maybe that's why I have taken a liking to photography...

Moma-Color Chart Show

I can't wait to go to this show. Moma's new show: Color Chart, Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today is the perfect art show for Spring. My favorite paintings are always really colorful so this is definitely the show for me. On display from March 2-March 12, 2008 in NYC. I am also trying to make time to head to the 2008 Whitney Biennal, a biennal show of the best current art market. Expect to see some things that you are totally wowed by and other are pieces that you perplexed why that's art. Always a good time. On display until Jun 1, 2008.

Sanna Annukka

I've been in love with Sanna Annukka prints for awhile now. My boyfriend and I have a deal: we can buy ourselves a ridiculous present for Christmas and get each other something small. One of Sanna Annukka prints was at the top of my list. But now things have changed. I got laid of House & Garden and now I am buying myself art supplies. So I guess I'll keep it in my "Someday" folder, till I become a famous painter.
