Thanks for checking out my Auction Wednesday offering! I would love it if you could share my post to reach a larger audience! Maybe tag someone if you think they'd like this piece.

You know my auctions don’t really help pay the bills. It’s a fun way for me to share my work in a way that everyone has a chance to won. But i still have lots of hopes of making more art. If you like what I’m doing would you please become one of my patrons on my Patreon page?

Anyone can sign up, even for as little as $1/month. It really can make a difference for me. and THERE ARE REWARDS!!!
REWARDS!!!! Who doesn't love a reward?!

Illuminated Glass Relief Sculpture

For the past 4 years, the majority of my glass work has been Illuminated Wall relief pieces.
I love the way the light transmits and amplifies the textures and nuances of the glass. The backlighting has allowed me to explore my more painterly style by adding layers of paint on the front, the back ,and 3 or four layers in between.

I've added most of the piece to my facebook page HERE. please check it out and share the album with anyone you know that might be interested in owning one or a few.

Gateway Open Studio Tours and Otis Street Arts Project Grand Opening.

The Gateway Arts District organizes tours of all the Artist studios in Mount Rainier, Brentwood and Hyattsville, Maryland every spring. It's a great time to see tons of amazing art, meet up with friends, and enjoy the area's artists in their natural habitat. This Saturday, May 9th is the day.

For the past 9 years, I have been participating in the open studios with my former digs at the Washington Glass School. It's my first Spring Open Studios at my new space, The Otis Street Arts Project. As such, we'll be staying open a little later than the other studios for our Grand Opening Party. 
After the open studio tours, we'll dim the lights, relax, and listen to DJ NEW spinning some tracks. Help us bring good luck and energy to our endeavor. If you're an artist, we still have space available to rent. If you are a curator, we'd love to talk to you about putting on shows with us. If you've got ideas, share them with us.




The first thing you want to do:
Visit the Gateway Arts District page and get a map
There will also be maps available at participating studios.

Then come out and enjoy the DC area's largest concentration of artists.
