New Work in a New Gallery

A close friend of mine has recently opened a gallery in downtown Dover, New Hampshire. The gallery is called Lucy's Art Emporium (www.lucysartemporium.com).

This gallery showcases fine art, retro home accessories, and hand-crafted items made by local artists.

I have a few items on display at Lucy's. These include some of my recent key prints, some fun postage stamp magnets, and hand made stuffed animals.

Key Monotype

Postage Stamp Magnets

Crocheted Animals

Key Prints

I took a little break from painitng and started playing with printmaking again. I cut a group of key stamps from rubber to create the prints below. The key stamps are all actual size so some of the prints I have made are pretty small.

Most of the keys are from old apartments, houses, cars, locks, etc. Many of the keys I have long since forgetten where they go but I just couldn't throw them away.

Below are the key stamps that I have cut.

Art Festival in Dover

May 9th is going to be a very busy day! I will be participating in two art auctions and one art festival.

The Art Festival will take place in downtown Dover, New Hampshire at One Washington Center.

I will be selling small paintings, prints, handmade books, and jewelry made from recycled materials.

This is the second year that this event will take place. Last year's festival was a lot of fun for everyone involved. There were many artists selling their original pieces, dancing, music, food, and fun events for kids to get involved in.

For more information on this event you can visit the website for One Washington Center at http://www.onewashingtoncenter.com/

I hope to see you there!

Habitat for Humanity Auction

I have donated a painting to the Habitat for Humanity's auction, "Home is Where the Art is". I thought it was pretty appropriate for me to participate in the auction since they are trying to raise money to build houses and I paint houses!

This auction is on May 9th and takes place in downtown Portsmouth.

Below is the link to a larger version of the poster for this event:
