WHAT'S NEW ON THIS SITE??
Wow! What an interesting year it's been... so far!
Shortly after the New Year, I participated in two group shows centered around women's issues and the deep rooted feelings that arose after the election. Both of those shows were highly successful and one of them, at the Institute Library in New Haven, had over 1,000 people at the opening reception. It was shoulder to shoulder, and I've never seen an opening like it in my life. There was hardly any room to walk, and it was GREAT.
Next was a really cool show at the Hygienic Art Gallery in New London, CT, titled "The Crossing". This show was also jurored, and it was an honor to have been selected, particularly since two of my paintings were accepted.
Some time after those three shows, I was honored to have been selected by a panel of jurors for another show titled "ONE" at the Kehler Liddell Gallery in New Haven, titled "ONE", which had a theme centered around One Earth, One Home, and all the ways humanity was changing the Earth and its' ecology in unfavorably.
Unless something comes up to surprise me in between, the next show I see coming up will be City Wide open Studios "Alternative Spaces" weekend at the Goffe Street Armory on October 21st and 22nd. That show is always SO much fun, for both the artists and those who come to see the art. Last year there were over 160 artists, in one building, both days. All different kinds of art, from photography, paintings and sculpture, to jewelry and clothing.
Pretty soon I'm going to have to open up a new section in this site's Gallery for clothing. I have been hand painting denim jackets and I've been loving how they're coming out. :)
Thanks again!

Welcome to BoToDo Art & Photography!
Can you guess what BoToDo stands for? If you know the answer, click the Facebook "Like" button above. If you DON'T know the answer, click the Facebook "Like" button above. Either way, I'd love for you to "Like" my page. :) Go to the "Contact" page and shoot me an email. Tell me what you think "BoToDo" means. I enjoy hearing your guesses. And if you'd like, I'll send you an email back with the answer and an explanation. The "Gallery" - Here is where you can see all my Photography, Paintings, & Pencil on Wood art. You can click on each photo individually, close it and go on to the next, or you can open up one, click the little arrow on the side, and scroll through the entire category of art. The "Shop" - This is where you bring beauty into your life and others around you. This is where you lift people's spirits, acquire the ability to make people happy, and indirectly perform magic you never dreamed yourself capable of. Buying something from the BoToDo Art & Photography shop is like buying a super power!!! Unfortunately, the shop isn't open yet. But it will be soon. The blog' "Inside My Head"" - Go check it out. Every so often I have something I think is worthwhile enough to actually say in public. "News & Clues" - This is where you can find events I'll be involved in, in the art world. "Videos" - I've taken to making videos of myself creating some of my paintings. They're all relatively short (3-10 minutes), and pretty enjoyable to watch. This is a fun section to be in. The "About" page - This is where I tell you all about why I create my art and what I'm looking to accomplish. My philosophy. I talk about my passion in regards to art. I normally can't stand to read "Artist Statements". They're usually way too esoteric for me. So hopefully, my Artist Statement is written a bit more simply. Just me...talking like an almost normal person. The "Contact" page - This is where you send me emails to suggest ways for me to make this site better, to tell me how much you already totally love this site, and to communicate about your indirect purchase of super powers from my shop! Most importantly...thank you for being here! I really do appreciate it. |
