Arabella's art and culture with a dash of gas
Well it had been a very long time, but I finally did some paintings. Just little studies, but at least it is something. Can you believe I haven't painted at all since May 2019?! Well, it is true. I've had too many things going on, and quite frankly I'm tired. Oh-so very tired. I do… Continue reading Nine Months of No Painting: New Painting Studies
Mind you, I would never ever sell anything of mine no matter how much they may be worth, now. I don't buy things to flip or impress visitors or to flip, I buy because I love them.
The show at Hedge Gallery opened and has been amazing with all of the feedback I have gotten! Thank you all so much and thank you to the Hedge Gallery staff and Ohio Arts Council for making it happen. More pictures from the show opening to follow. There's also been some press from The Plain… Continue reading Sometimes I Work in a Viking Helmet
Promo video for my book + it shows me working on what became "Ephemeral Antidotes" at Loved to Death's Articulated Gallery in SF.
Yay, it isn't 90 degrees in the studio anymore. I even finished 2 paintings in one stretch without sweating on everything! Of course, fall weather arrives mere weeks after I finally get a portable air conditioner.
Ann over at Where People Create was nice enough to feature my space and do a little Q & A. I won't be taking part in the fall open studios this year at The Screw Factory, but I guess people like to see what's going on. It's messier than usual as I'm starting to work… Continue reading The Art Studio: Where People Create
Thanks to all of you who came out for Last Minute Market! I know the parking lot was nuts, so I apologize if you didn't make it in or had to park a billion miles away. Not sure how many people came through (3,000+ I'm sure!), but there were almost double the vendors, and the… Continue reading Gettin’ Naughty at Last Minute Market
So here I am still in N. Carolina, hanging with some wonderful friends and my brother through the weekend. Photos to come! I'll be back for my little sale during the Screw Factory and Last Minute Market event on Saturday. Look, Cleveland Scene mentioned my show here too! So if you've ever wanted a framed… Continue reading Screw Factory + Last Minute Market + My Retrospective…sorta
Been getting back to the studio as much as I can (which isn't very much at all). My CPM machine that I had to be in for 6 hours a day to manually bend my knee finally ended, and now, well...I wait for more scans. I've been framing a bunch of things in general, and… Continue reading Starting Up Again in the Studio
So here we are, the land of, "Arabella's stupid cancer ordeal just doesn't want to ever let up". My complications keep having complications -- nothing major -- just things that make having a normal life seem far off. Besides me now being at risk for all sorts of things, my knee procedure didn't go quite… Continue reading Art Super Sale & Show
