It’s Autumn here on the East Coast. I just completed a post-vaccination/mid-plague mini-tour of sorts. I participated in a few shows in September- early October including Oddball Art Hall in Wilmington, Delaware, a Mabon Celebration in North East, Maryland, and Bellefonte Day in north Wilmington/Bellefonte, Delaware. For those who stopped by, chatted, and of course helped support my work through BUYING ART, thank you! (If you bought some of my art please share photos of how you decorate your walls/sticker things/send love notes by sharing via Instagram. You can find me at instagram.com/stepsisterugly or by emailing info@uglystepsisterart.com. ) Doing shows is a lot of stress, a lot of work, and a lot of energy, but after not being able to go out safely for the last year it was wonderful to connect with people. This was also my first time debuting brand new bookmark and greeting/mourning cards, which were very well received. (Look for them in my next shop update on Storenvy.)

Take a look at some highlights from recent shows below.

There are some more shows and exhibitions in the works, so stay tuned…

I went for my first visit to the west coast this month. While visiting Washington I visited Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia. I’m from the other side of the country. We have mountains, beaches, ocean, and coast. I was struck by the subtle differences in the skyline- the boats, the fact that the snow-capped Ranier mountain was visible in the skyline in the middle of July, the small boats in every body of water. I was thoroughly impressed by the Chihuly glass sculptures in Tacoma and Seattle. Pottery and blown glass clearly have a big impact on the local art there. Below are a few drawings from my visit.

“I’m late, I’m late! I’m late for an important date,” cried the white rabbit.

I showed at Art Max Expo last month, and of course I’m not posting about it until now. Better fashionably late than never.

This was it’s kickoff show. It was put together from a fellow Delaware artist. There was a lovely mix of cosplaying, fine artists, sculptors, face painters, and caricature artists.

Many moons ago I teamed up with musician Alphane Reality Generator for the album Nature of my Circuitry. I made the cover art for the album. Years later he decided he had to own the original image, a mixed media piece in pastel and paper cutouts. Upon a recent visit I saw it’s home. As most artists will tell you their pieces are like their children. Even when selling a painting it feels like losing a part of yourself. It’s wonderful to see your children adopted into good homes.
