On Sunday evening I turned in five small 8×8 pieces for The Portland Big 500 Show. I am so excited to be a part of this show during this year’s holiday season! This year is the show’s 10th year running and it has become a Portland art community tradition. It is also a benefit for The Oregon Food Bank. For that reason and for that of making local art affordable and accessible to everyone I am proud to be a part of this show. There will be over 500 local artists each with 5-10 pieces all sized 8×8 and $40! No more excuses to get local art for those on your holiday gift list.
Finally I’m super excited to finish these pieces because I have basically been artistically hibernating for almost three years! During that time I have been creative and grown in other ways. I’ve had two daughters whom are 20 months apart and they have consumed my life as I’ve grown into the SAHMA role or (stay at home mama and artist). Haha I’ve managed to nurture them and keep them alive and now it is time to start getting back to my art whenever I can! Now that my second daughter Zorielle is 14 months old and my oldest is almost 3 it feels a little more possible. Wish me luck and come out to The Big 500 and buy some awesome local art. The show runs from December 9th to the 24th at The Pioneer Place Mall, downtown Portland, 700 SW 5th Second Floor Atrium M-SA 10-8 SU 10-5
