Upcoming event alert!  I will be selling cards, stickers, small prints, and t-shirts featuring my work at the annual Holiday Bazaar at the Church of the Holy Spirit on Saturday, November 5th from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m.  You'll find me in there along with a passel of other local artists & artisans with our paintings, cards, dolls, fiber art, glass art, jewelry, ornaments, photography, pottery, stone art, watercolors, wood art and Kimball Guild Crafts (hammered aluminum jewelry and other items).  There will also be costume and estate jewelry and gently used books for sale, and a lunch room from 11:30-1:30 p.m.. It will be my first time participating in this event, but I am told it is a local favorite.  Hope to see you there!  

Also!  The new winter show at the Galley West Art Gallery, on the Holy Spirit campus, will be opening the same day.  I do not have work in the show this time, but do please go see the work of the featured artists!  It will be a show of small works, quite suitable for gifting.

P.S.: It's hard to believe the Holiday season is once again fast approaching, isn't it?

Today I spent a pleasant rainy day volunteering at the Galley West Art Gallery in Orleans, MA, where my photography work is on display.  It is a lovely little community gallery on the campus of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit, at Monument Road and Rte. 28.  Founded a year ago, it features the work of artists from the Lower and Outer Cape Cod towns of Brewster, Chatham, Harwich, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown.  The Gallery building is pretty awesome... the front half is part of an old tavern (circa 1829), and the back is the up-turned hull of the shipwreck Orissa, which washed up on Nauset beach in 1894 (after spending 37 years under water!).  For more on the history of the space, follow this link. 

So!  If you like art or old buildings, or both, and/or if you are an artist interested in exhibiting your work, stop by and see the gallery.  If you are the latter, keep an eye on the calls for art, and sign up for the mailing list.  You can find both on the GWAG website.
