Arabella's art and culture with a dash of gas
Thank you to everyone who came from near and far and attended the "Illustrious Decay" opening at CWAL and 78th Street Studios. This was my first time since my days at CalArts I had done an installation piece let alone a collaborative one. Jen Omaitz led me through it because I kind of had zero… Continue reading ‘Illustrious Decay’ Opening Night
I thought I give you a list of upcoming shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cleveland, Tel Aviv, and even Melbourne, that I'm participating in. And for those of you in Cleveland, the September 6th event is when I will be formally launching my new fashion illustration classes for adults!

I've been trying to get out more here in Cleveland since it went for 60 degrees to about 19 in a matter of a day, and back, and then, back again. Schitzo doesn't even begin to describe it. Thankfully I have friends who also wanted to get out art farting, or drive in the snow… Continue reading Art Institutions and Suburban Kitsch
We had both the faculty show and juried show at BAYarts, as well as Mallorie Freeman's solo show at William Rupnik this weekend. A great turn out for both and it was fun catching up with people.

Back from my short trip to DC! I wish it hadn't been so short, but what can you do? It was great to meet a lot of people in person for the first time including Brandi Read, Scott G. Brooks, Lee and Shane from the gallery and so forth. The reception at Art Whino went… Continue reading Home
I did a little Q&A over at Cleveland Bachelor just recently, and if you are in the Cleveland area be sure to come out on Friday for the one-night special group show at William Rupnik Gallery. I'll be showing 4 paintings, along with several awesome people like BASK, Chris Ryniak, Derek Hess, Tes One, Matt… Continue reading Cleveland art shindig
I was going to post my own little list, but this article from Art Marketing does it so well. The subject of showing up to your own opening has come up recently; a lovely gallery owner here in Cleveland actually had to have a meeting with various artists about the fact that, "hey, you should… Continue reading Your Art Reception: It Helps To Be There
