Hard to believe that it has been a little over a month since ArtWALK! I want to start off by expressing my tremendous gratitude for those who could make it out. The studio doors had been proverbially closed for two years at the Brewery Artist Lofts, and to say that the residents were nervous to open and show their work after all that time, is an understatement. Needless to say, the event brought much of the life and “soul” back to the Brewery.
As some of you may know, this was my first time showing in my studio/loft since I moved back to the Brewery last August. I was amazed at the turn out, pleased how I was able to curate in my new surroundings, and loved the insightful conversations I had with so many of you. I had decided to show some older series with newer, more experimental works, and because it was so well received, have some wonderful plans for new work this year!
Part of this new direction, is to re-design my website and send monthly newsletters with updates from my studio, upcoming events, shows, new designs in my web store, content added to my YouTube channel as well as potential workshop opportunities. Even if all those items become a bit too ambitious for this year (I like to think big!), I do plan on making my website a larger “hub” for my web presence.
Summer is fast approaching, and I plan on having some new design work as well as promos for June. New paintings are on the docket as well! I have freshly built panels in the workshop that have been unprimed for wayyyy too long….
Feel free to reach out if you have any inquiries or would just like to say hi :) Share the website and/or subscription page with anyone you might feel would be interested. If you are on Instagram, give me a follow @_rocketduck (preview is below). The more the merrier!
Many thanks again for making it out to ArtWalk and welcome to the new melissadyanne.com!
