One of a Kind Show and Sale, Chicago

My biggest show is right around the corner! This year marks my 4th year exhibiting at the annual One of a Kind Show Chicago, one of the best holiday shopping events. More than 600 artists will be participating this year, exhibiting their handmade creations. I will be showing all new glass window paintings, mini type pieces and flower pots. I have also received great press for this show, as I am featured on their homepage, as well as in Michigan Avenue Magazine.

Flea Market

I had an awesome run at the flea market yesterday. I managed to haul over 60 frames back to the studio - all very used, old and full of character. These are going to make great canvases for upcoming shows.

Garbage Pickin

This is truly where most of my windows come from, the alleys and dumpsters. I stumbled upon a great find earlier this morning and managed to collect about 15 windows. I also was told that the house was built in 1929. Such a great find.

Sharpie: The Academy, Seattle

A small part of my Sharpie commercial was filmed in Seattle, WA at The Academy headquarters. The studio had a large room divider created from windows, which was the perfect canvas for me to paint. A video was shot, which was later translated into a time-lapse for the final piece.
