A review from the Fremont exhibit!

While at the opening for my exhibit at Fremont coffee I met Anthony, a local art blogger, and his daughter, Natalie. He wrote up an excellent review of the show. I am reposting a snippet below.

"Do you remember horror movies before the in-your-face death and destruction and bloodletting that began with Alien, perhaps, or maybe Halloween? The horror then was psychological, and always perceived, than shoved in your face.

That is the type of art Christen brings us. There is no way to label her work other than dark. Dark, is a given. But the questions that her work poses - what is going on here? - are much more potent and thought provoking than what lies on the surface...."

You can visit his blog by clicking the title of this post to read the whole review. If you are a fan of local art, enjoy Seattle's frequent artwalks and/or just want to know what's happening in the art world, I recommend his blog. It's both informative and all encompassing.

Tonight is Capitol Hill Artwalk, aka Blitz!

Okay, so tonight its the Capitol Hill Blitz (of course the Hill couldn't be satisfied with just calling it artwalk... oh Capitol Hill).
I am planning to check out the other artworks and to hang at Bauhaus Coffee, where my paintings are currently up for critique and for the buying... as if I haven't mentioned that enough times in the last few weeks.
I hope to be there from around 6:30-9 tonight and encourage all you Seattle folk to come on out! Click this blog's title for a map to all the venues.

Art is Officially up at Bauhaus

Paintings are officially hung and available for viewing (and purchasing if the mood strikes) at Bauhaus Books & Coffee. This is the first time I have ever hung on a bookcase... very odd, but kind of cool... the Fear, Phobia paintings are hanging upstairs... sorry, no pic, you'll just have to go see for yourself!!

They will be up through July 31st, and Bauhaus will be participating in Capitol Hill Art Blitz (2nd Thursday of the month).
