Have a Heart
Workhouse Studio 4
The “Have a Heart” Project
Food Drive & Art Installation
From October through February, Studio 4 is conducting a food drive to benefit Food for Others. Food for Others, the largest distributor of free food directly to people in need in Northern Virginia, provides the assistance vitally needed by our unemployed and low-income neighbors. They provide a safety net for those who suddenly face unforeseen emergencies such as a family illness or the loss of a job or a spouse.
Items donated will become main components of an interactive art installation which will open to the public on February 11th, 2012 during Workhouse Art Center’s Second Saturday Art Walk.
YOU can be a part of this exciting art installation and help Northern Virginians in need by donating canned or non-perishable food items at Studio 4.
Follow the Have a Heart project and other Studio 4 happenings on our facebook page.

Aristocratic
Back in March I fell in love with these frames when I saw them at an antique shop.
Last week I painted these minimal/abstract "portraits" to go in them.

It's Actually Quite Easy Being Green
In keeping with my lime green studio wall, I'm customizing shopping bags in preparation for my Grand Opening and the upcoming holiday season. I also had labels made for them in (you guessed it) green with my name, studio number and website on them.

All About My Mother
Earlier in the week I was interviewed and photographed by James Cullum for the Lorton Patch.

Day Off
Today is my first day off since moving into my studio. I can't remember the last time I put in a seven day art-work week. Working from home allows for many distractions. I found myself constantly sidetracked. Not to mention the solitude of it all. While necessary at times, too much of it drains my creative batteries and I wind up feeling uninspired. I am so thrilled to be in a creative environment now, among some amazing artists (you'll meet them through this blog soon enough) who keep me energized and motivated.

Startin' Something Big(ger)
Starting work on my first large (larger than what my old studio allowed) piece.
Hoping this will become "Jazz City". Stay tuned.

Color Splash!
Some people are afraid of the dark and some people are terrified of bold color (on walls).
Being one of over a hundred artists at the Workhouse Arts Center, I want my studio to be not only fun to visit, but memorable. Ron and I spent most of the weekend moving me into the space. I painted my accent wall Behr Crisp Green.
I wanted to go all the way with a pop of color that would make my studio stand out to visitors. I am a Pop artist, after all; a wimpy wall would simply not do. I also wanted to avoid a dark color that would absorb much light or weigh the space down. The trick to a super-bright color like this, I believe, is to break it up with furniture or textiles. About 3/4 of this wall will be covered with white shelving units so in the end, the massive sea of green before me will actually become more of a colorful frame.
