Decking the halls!

Getting everything together for the

Open House tonight! 4-7pm.

Our framer Robert came in with something special today...

We're making you guess what this one is!

going up for our Open House on November 30!

Tiny or monumental, we have what you need!

These mixed media pieces are built from scraps of... sports jerseys?

Thank you Art Solutions!

Gracen busy at her desk in Jess's office this morning.... TGIF babe!

    

We think her 'color board' of sticky notes was inspired by a set of work recently framed, Karlen's Color / Shape Series on paper.  Come see new work in the studio soon!

Did our best with the 'pinhole' technique, but mostly just waiting for our photographers to send over their pictures from today!

Hemingway doesn't super care about this once in a lifetime event.

Pulled some framed acrylics out of hiding and onto the main stage this morning!  In the process of refreshing our studio walls, so excited to see final results.

Freshening up our studio and had fun helping Janet Orr assemble her over-sized ceramic sculptures!  Fully custom in size + coloration, they even do well outdoors.

Offering 'art solutions' as a service can often mean collaborating with several artists and craftsman to get an exact look.  Below: specialty printers were enlisted to produce a Dave Wilson image on un-varnished wood panel, which local artist Judith Dauncey has hand-embellished to lend the final 'pop' of dimension that can be lost when printing on certain substrates.  Stay tuned for the result!  Judith is painting live in studio today.  

Thanks to last week's rain the studio is blooming.  Cloudy skies have given us some amazing photographs from artist's in the Valley, we can't wait to show you!

Lehtonen, A Sonoran Summer Sunset

Ceja, Desert Skies

Phillips, Red Rocks #41

It takes a village!

This week we're grateful Jonelle Davis delivered our reupholstered studio armchairs, newly off-limits to Hemingway.  Our install crew kept us posted on gallery wall hanging at Mastro's Steak 48 Chicago.  Testani Design Troupe did a beautiful job.  As the week goes on we expect a few more artists to drop in and swap samples, stay tuned for some exciting collaborations...

So great to see Mita in the studio.  She not only brought us chocolates but shared with us some fantastic new artists she's showing.
