Art is good for you!
Hi friend,
I hope you’re finding little moments of joy and creativity in your day to day. Life has been moving fast on my end, and I wanted to share some exciting updates with you!
Stick around to the end to see my recently completed triptych, Strange Happiness.
Upcoming Events
NWTC Artisan Center Annual Showcase Opening Reception
Tues, 3/25, 5-7pm | Neville Public Museum | Learn more
A painting unlike anything I have ever created was accepted into the NWTC Artisan Center Annual Showcase, you have to see it in person to really appreciate it. (Think northern lights, stars, dancing creatures in the sky).
Girl’s Day Out
Sat 4/5, 10am-4pm | KI Convention Center | Learn more
My first market of 2025 is just around the corner! It’s easy to support SO MANY local businesses at this event. (Need not be a girl to attend, 😉.)
Soul Purpose Feminist Watercolor Class
Wed, 4/9, 6-7pm | Soul Purpose, Bay Park Square Mall | Get tickets
My last couple feminist watercolor classes were a huge hit! I am inviting women and queer folks to get together, paint something cool and build connections. Save your seat today, these classes have been filling up!
Soul Purpose Adult Prom
Sat 4/5, 7-11pm | Stadium View Banquet Hall | Get tickets
April 5th will be a busy day! Get in your prom attire, grab your friends and party while raising money for our community. I designed the marketing for this event!
First Blog Post on Substack
When I started writing this email I was really excited about how my International Women’s Day went down. It sounded more like a blog, so I decided to publish that on Substack. If you signed up for this newsletter, I included you on that list too. You can read it here. Let me know what you think!
Featured art
Here’s one of my recent faves, a triptych inspired by a recent residency critique. Before starting, I pondered Lisa Wicka’s suggestion to find ways to add depth to my paintings.
The NWTC Artisan Residency has been tremendous in my growth as an artist. This piece will be one of many featured in our culminating art exhibition in July. I can’t wait for you to see all the weird art we’ve made during our program! I’ll be sharing more details as we get closer.
As always, thank you for your support, your kindness, and for being part of the Samsconsin Art journey.
With love,
Sam
