november!

There are two weeks until Thanksgiving!  How did this happen?!  I had my first private art reception at Allegheny Arts on Friday, October 29th.  It took 3 hours to get the paintings to stay on the big cement wall. My savior, Ann, helped me get nails in that cement monster.  I could not have done it alone.  A big thank you to my mom, Michelle, and Ashley for making the trek from Berks County to support me!  I love you guys!  And also, thank so much to everyone who made it out to my show.  I am so fortunate to have such wonderful friends and supportive co-workers!  My next solo show is in the works for sometime in February.  My goal is to have 100 pieces for this one.  I know it’s super-ambitious but I can make it happen.

For the time being, I am working on my artist portfolio.  Hard to believe I have 5 shows under my belt already!   I’m seeking gallery representation to sell more work.  I have sold 27 pieces to date, and honestly that’s what thrills me.  I want my work out in the world- owned and admired by others.  And if I’m able to make a living purely through my art, that would be a dream come true.  I’m doing my homework to find a reputable place.  Having my work at a gallery will be in addition to Allegheny Arts.  I adore the gallery and the artist community there, and I will be working/creating at the gallery two Sundays a month from 12-5.  Come watch me paint!  ( email:  jamiepaints@gmail.com to confirm if I will be there if you are planning a visit!)

And remember, the holidays are right around the corner.  My paintings and boxes make great gifts!
