Gallery Night, Residence Opportunity, and New Work

Happy New Year everyone! My original resolution was to avoid getting a cold using nothing but vitamin C and sheer will, but I've already failed. My new resolution is to be a less serious board-game player, since I've gotten in 5 real-life fights with my brother in the last week while playing board games.

Here is some new work:

In other news, I have been selected as a finalist for the Artist in Residence position at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. Five Milwaukee-area artists and myself will be showing at Gallery M from January 21st through mid February, and each of us are hoping to be the 2011 Pfister Artist in Residence. While the final decision is made by a panel of judges, everyone has the ability to vote for his or her favorite artist.

I highly recommend voting for me. I am my favorite candidate for the position.

The opening reception will occur on Gallery Night, January 21st, from 5-9PM at Gallery M, located at the Intercontinental in Milwaukee. Come in, see some amazing art, and vote! In addition to art, there will be live music, appetizers, cocktails, and me in a dress, so come in and say hi!

Apparently there is going to be a live-feed twitter and text voting, which means that I will probably have to give in to creating a Twitter account. It also hopefully means people will be able to vote even if they can't make the event. I will definitely keep you updated on how to vote as I get more information.

You can find directions and more information about Gallery Night & Day here. After the show, be sure to check out the show of the current Pfister Artist in Residence, Katie Musolff, who will be having a show and reception at the Pfister from 9PM to 11:30. You can read more about Katie Musolff and the Pfister Artist in Residence program here.

Finally, here is a peek at the painting I'm currently working on:
