My beautiful new studio!
I can't believe I haven't shared photos of my awesome new studio space with you, yet! In my defense, it has been a busy summer. This new space is just a few blocks south of my Ravenswood location on Hermitage, I moved at the end of June. It's much larger, in fact, the largest studio I've ever had.The wonderful glass block windows remind me of my beloved first studio, in my home on Oakley, in Bucktown. These are some recent photos take prior to last weekend's Open Studio Sale. If you missed it, appointments are always welcome...just contact me!
My neighbor, Anastsia Mak, who has the art studio on the opposite side of the courtyard took this photo...Here is a sample of her lovely work:

Sorry to have disappeared for so many weeks...it's been a busy summer, I've gotten some much needed R & R and hope to share some posts of my activities soon. In the mean time...I moved my studio, again!The new space is much bigger and I love it...hope some of you can come by next weekend and check it out. I'll have new paintings available from the Fields Project, and for the first time, even some of my ceramic work. There will be some lovely deals on older works and prints, too. Can't make it? You are welcome to make an appointment for a studio visit at your convenience, or check out my paintings at AnnesArt.comand let me know what you are interested in.
Time to head back outside to sell some art!
I look forward to returning to Iowa tomorrow for my first outdoor show of the season: The Marion Arts Festival. Here's a peek at some new pieces I finished up this week:
My display is going to look a little different this year...I had to say goodbye to my big black carpeted panels (see bottom photo), as I traded in my dear old pick up last fall. My new mesh panels fold down nicely to fit into my little Element...Eloise! (yes, I named her!) ; )
The mesh will be cooler compared to solid walls...and my booth much brighter since the sidewalls will be white, I do have a black cover for the back wall. Did a test set up of the hardware in a local park to save time on site...my load of steel has increased by about 75 pounds!
Forgot to post before I left for the show...stay tuned for a recap!
