My art booth using my new homemade posts for hanging framed artwork
Friday night Dec 3 I was an art vendor at “I made It for the Holidays” at Southside Works right next to REI. My niece Frances flew in from Portland, OR and was a MAJOR help to me as well as her dear friend Meghan Olson. Meghan was premiering her new venture Clothespin Press at “I Made It”.
City Walkabout is an extension of Pittsburgh Post Gazette beat writer Diana Nelson Jones’ coverage of Pittsburgh’s kaleidoscope of neighborhoods. I was so pleased to have my work blogged about as it pertains to her observations of Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods.
Read her blog on my work.
I have been a fan of Shady Ave Magazine since it began and was thrilled to be contacted by Rachel Berresford for an artist profile, a regular feature.
Here it is hot off the press.
I just delivered my art work and greeting cards for the annual Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Holiday Shop 2010.

People keep asking for more bicycle paintings. That’s good because I love the subject and try to get out there at least 4x a week on my own bike. Here are the latest bicycle paintings, and they are packaged in a plastic box with a label…
There are 7 individual “watercolor in a BOX” paintings and they will be on the wall somewhere as a group. As a regular artist with work in the PCA Shop year round, I have participated for several years in the PCA Holiday Shop. This is the time of year when they turn over a large amount of gallery space to an expanded shop and it runs from November 20 to December 31st. That is 6 weeks of extended hours- 7 days a weeks starting Nov 20. It’s a great Pittsburgh tradition and PCA really works so hard to make this the BEST time of year for all their artists and makers!! When you go, be sure to let them know you appreciate the extra effort they make, and long hours they work, for all their artists at this time of year. To see the work before everything has been picked over I suggest you go to the opening reception Friday Nov 19 from 5:30-8PM or try to go in the first few days to see the full assortment of great and cool stuff.
My schedule is that on that same night Friday Nov 19, 2010, I will be at Boyd Community Center 1220 Powers Run Road Pittsburgh, PA 15238-2618 as an artist and vendor at their Holiday Market. I will also be at Boyd all day Saturday Nov 20.
On Friday evening December 3rd 5PM – 10PM I will be an artist and vendor at “I Made It For The Holidays”. This nomadic indy arts/crafts festival is located INDOORS at Southside works right near REI.
