Artomatic Finishing Installation

Today we brought baby Brie to Artomatic to finish installation. Hanging artwork with a newborn has had its challenges, like breastfeeding and changing a diaper while hanging art. But I am so happy that Brie is experiencing this event.
We walked around and saw many artists at work finishing their exhibits. We also saw displays from friend's and favorite's from past Artomatics. Some of our friends and favorites on the sixth floor include Monica Stroik a friend that shares the space next to me,and some new favorites Melissa Tenney and Melissa Burley. On other floors artists worthy of viewing Sean Wexler, Cecily Corcoran, Jennifer Judelsohn, Veronica Perez, and Andrew Wodzianski

Artomatic Begins!

Tonight Travis and I with baby Brielle in tow went to hang my artwork at Artomatic. Thank goodness my friend Monica Stroik who shares the space next to me painted my wall for me, with help from Rick. I was hoping to hang my art two weeks ago but Brielle was born two weeks early and not everything goes as planned especially with having a baby.

Brielle was so good, she laid in her stroller asleep without a peep. She just ate, fell asleep in the car, mom had a nap, and her diaper was changed. It's a perfect balance that can be hard to achieve sometimes.

So with having the wall already painted the show hung with ease. It took almost 2 hours. The volunteers were kicking us out at 9:55. We worked til the last minute. But of course there are a few things that need to be finished. Like hooking up the lights to an extension cord/power strip and fixing some of my adhesive letters. Travis will go back and finish. He is the best.

Hopefully we will be able to attend on opening night with Baby Brie. It will be her first art show. I am so excited.
Come see my work and Monica's work on the sixth floor right near the elevator, on the east side.
