SOLD! and a Conference Winning roll call

Alas, my group show on the New Paltz campus has ended! It was dismantled and its contents distributed to new homes on the walls of my room February 24th. The Art Society of Kingston (ASK) "Generation Gap" show has also come to a close. "I wish that I could have been warned", the print I posted in my last entry was featured on the cover of "Art Times", a small Hudson Valley Arts guide. I was unable to attend the opening. I did manage to sneak a peek at the show on Valentine's day and I'm incredibly excited to say that the print was sold! I'm flattered and truly grateful for the publicity and support of my work.

My father, who has really come around to the idea of me studying art in general, has also offered to buy one of my prints as an act of support. I will be sending him a framed copy of "Poster of a girl" in the mail shortly. :)

This month has been a whirlwind of activity and I can't say enough how grateful I am for the opportunities I've received. This past weekend I represented New Paltz an annual Residence Life conference at SUNY Cortland. Our team of 12 student leaders from New Paltz put together a lipsync for the conference's roll call challenge that really wowed the crowd and won first place! There are links to the video all over facebook, so I'll see if there's a way I could post it here!

Her morning Elegance and Small Steps Forward

Yay for Small successes!

I've recently been a part of two small group exhibitions at the Art Society of Kingston in Kingston, NY! ASK is a wonderful arts organization with beautiful gallery space and an amazing array of talented members who frequently show there. My first print was selected for a juried show titled "SUNY New Paltz Printmakers: Contemporary Printmaking" that was held Jan 3rd-Feb 3rd. Not only was it featured on their website, but it was featured in a printed review of the show alongside BFA and MFA candidates I really admire. The second piece, another smallish photo silkscreen print is currently on display in another juried show at ASK titled "Generation Gap" until Feb. 28th. You can currently view the print here or on their website: http://www.askforarts.org/exhibits/details.php?num=271
