Come one, Come All

My holiday merchandise is ready for tomorrow night’s Sip & Shop event at AFL STUDIO, 301 E. Seneca Street, Manlius, NY 13104.  I think I will be sharing my gallery space with the Apricot Lane proprietor.

There will be a Botox medical professional and a “permanent” jewelry business there as well as light food and drinks.

I will be there at 3:45 PM, if you would like to come and shop early.  Hours for this party – 5:00 – 7:30 PM.

I created notecards that double as holiday ornaments and other special things including one hundred twelve hand painted postcard paintings of angels.  Prices are as marked on the package.  My jewelry collection is all marked as well.  The 36″ x 36″ oil and collage paintings are only $800 and the 18″ x 24″ oil and collage paintings are only $200.  The encaustic hearts with the stands are $75.

I will try to get my Square card reader operational to take charges.  You can also pay cash or use PayPal or Venmo.  Will I have cash to make change?  IDK.

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and it will be a fun and festive evening!

See you there!

The Santy Abstracts

Penny Santy had a pop up show at The Atrium, a downtown Syracuse venue that is currently sponsored by CNY Arts.  They have several more events planned until the end of the year (2024).  Next year the building will be renovated into an apartment complex.

This is the first time Penny has exhibited all of her abstract paintings together – works that were three years in the making.  She is influenced by Diebenkorn among other Abstract Expressionists, as well as music.

She sold many paintings during this weekend pop up.  If you want more information or wish to purchase a painting, find her at www.pennysanty.com.

Textured Fantasies & Aquamarine Dreams

Thank you, Cheryl Chappell, for curating an amazing art show at Edgewood Gallery, 216 Tecumseh Road, Syracuse, New York 13224.  Dana Stenson, Lauren Bristol and David Robertson are three of the most positive energy-infused artists/wonderful people living and working in Central New York.

Stenson creates precious and semi-precious gem jewelry with silver and gold.  Everything is handmade and completely gorgeous!

Bristol is a fiber artist – she is exhibiting coil baskets this time.  They are beautifully crafted pieces made with natural fibers including silk threads.

David Robertson’s paintings dominate the walls.  These paintings are from several different series of his work and all pertain to his Buddhist practice.

The show continues through November 15, 2024.  The jewelry is cash and carry but I think the rest will be available at the end of the exhibition.

Aquamarine ring – sold!

The gallery is open Tuesday-Friday 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM.

It’s the CAZENOVIA ART TRAIL!!!!

My location:  American Legion Post 88, 26 Chenango Street, Cazenovia, NY 13035.

It is #15 on the Cazenovia Art Trail map.

There will be food trucks in the parking lot!

I accept PayPal, Venmo, cash and I also use the Square for credit cards!

I am so excited to share my heart and horse-themed artwork and jewelry with you!  See you soon!!!

Cazenovia Art Trail – Save the Date!

I spent the afternoon visiting the space inside the American Legion post 88, 26 Chenango Street, Cazenovia, NY 13035, where I will be exhibiting art during the Cazenovia Art Trail.  The trail event will be Saturday, September 28, 2024 AND Sunday, September 29, 2024 from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM.  There will be three or four food trucks in the parking lot.  See the website for more information about which trucks will be there on which day.

We are number 15 on the trail map.  I think there will be eight artists in this space.  There is an elevator!

I am represented on the Caz Art Trail website here.

P.S. It’s going to look amazing with all the artwork displayed.  I’m so grateful I had a chance to see the space so I can envision my booth.  I am doing a “horse art” theme.

I trust I will see you there.  If you are unfamiliar – there are a lot of artists who live in Cazenovia, New York.  They have studios in their homes and this is an event where you can tour their studios and buy art.  The American Legion space is new this year.  If it works out, they will continue to be involved and I would love to continue to be involved as well.  Or should I buy a house in Cazenovia???  It’s a beautiful town. <3
