Next Stop Salon Pizzaz
So...I know I said I'd have "History's Naughty Misses" on display at Salon Pizzaz on December 1st. However, did you know statistically artists are more absentminded that your average person. It's true, but give us a break!!! For me, creative energy is a wild unpredictable thing. Harnessing and utilizing it is one thing, but organizing it... I'm hopeless! That said, don't give up hope! The show will be up for your viewing pleasure as of Monday, December 8th!

Bottle Cap Belts
A brand new edition to my fashion line...the bottle cap belt! Okay so the idea isn't completely original, but it has been improved on with genuine bottle caps instead of those chintzy manufactured ones. The belts can be made to order by selecting the color and length you want. Basic colors include red, blue & black (but other belts colors can be special ordered). Then you choose what kind of caps you want: mutli-color, same color, pop caps or beer or both. Belts start at $30 + shipping. E-mail me for details.

Why blog?
Every once in a while I have things I'd like to share, such as commentary on an upcoming show or an event I'm involved in. Sometimes I feel inspired to express ideas and comment on the ever illusive concept of art. I may talk about artists I admire. I may post inane things like photos of my cats, or YouTube videos I've uploaded. This is also the gateway to other networking web sites I use such as Myspace & Facebook. I also might talk about my client's projects/products or events I find interesting like Studio 1219's "Art of Being a Women" month-long event.
- Studio 1219 invites patrons, organizations, restaurants and more to decorate a bra to display at Studio 1219 for the month of October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This project is designed to call attention to the importance of breast cancer screening and to raise money throughout the month of October to support the Studio’s Breast Cancer Fund. Support for...

History's Naughty Misses
Fine Art
Salon Pizzaz (map)
Downtown Port Huron
December 8th - January 29th
Woodward Ave Brewers (map)
Downtown Ferndale, MI
February 1st - March 30th
This show will reveal the “questionable” history of women who either chose or were forced down an alternative path than marriage. Courtesans, gypsies, concubines, geisha, doxies, streetwalkers, and performers of the Moulin Rouge all have a colorful tale to tell. The “naughty misses” represented will personify the culture and customs from their world and time in history. These works are meant to educate and enrapture viewers by bringing to light the shadier side of women’s history. Come join me – it’s a show you won’t soon forget!
