I've got it covered...

The new Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce Directories were just delivered to my studio...they turned out great! I edited the design from the banner art to fit this format. Looking forward to seeing those banners hanging in the coming months. Let me know if you or your company is in need of some bold, eye-catching art for brochures, banners, logos, etc...I love brain storming and helping clients with these kinds of illustration projects!

R.V. Dog & Art Lovers Night = Big Fun!

We didn't know what to expect for our first ever RVDALN, but it turned out to be a very fun night...lots of people came, several with their 4 legged friends and we collected quite a 'bounty' of supplies for the Chicago Canine Rescue Shelter. Our adorable Guest of Honor, Norton a 5 month old Bassett Hound mix, was not able to stay the whole evening but he made many friends while he was here and I'm confident he will be adopted very soon!Norton: Follow the link for adoption info.
All the generous supply donations that came in from attendees for the Chicago Canine Rescue Shelter.
  We also had complimentary human treats and a visit from the Pepperoni King! This man needs a crown! Vail...that doggy in the window.

Anne's not in Kansas anymore...

I'm back in Chicago after a wonderful trip to the Kansas City area for the Brookside Art Fair. The trip was good on all fronts, I did this one on my own and was inspired by my drive through the beautiful rolling hills of Iowa farmland, got to spend the weekend with my good friend Laura Nugent, reconnected with artists and customers I had not seen in awhile and met so many new ones. Left lots of Anne's art in Kansas City including the Beautiful Bald Headed Man below. I'm here this weekend then hit the road again next week for the Broad Ripple Art Fair in Indianapolis. Busy is good...trying to stress less this year and just enjoy the journey that I am so fortunate to be on... Beautiful, bald new collector!High school pal, Therese and her daughter Cody, who live MO came by to say hello... Laura and Deacon...he was waiting anxiously by the door for us every night.  My booth all lit up...we set up our tents under bigger one so we had electricity. Wish my paintings showed this way at all art fairs!
Art fair peeps...Heinrich Toh, whose wife Cheryl was in the show, Anthony Pack, Laura Nugent and Andrew Johnson. How many artists does it take to... Crossing the mighty Mississippi, on the way there and then back via a detour through Moline...I grew up swimming in this river much further north in the LaCrosse area, it's the place of some of my favorite childhood memories.

Growing Trucks...

My goal is to continuously make the next one bigger than the last, until our spring session ends in late May. These will, hopefully, soon be growing things in their beds...stay tuned to see them evolve and for more info about the "Women in Grains Show" in July.

Muses...

My studio mate, Frida....always an inspiration!
