Artists,  Everyday,  Exhibitions

A Couple of Exhibits

My Helsinki through May 31st looks intriguing; although, since I’ve been traveling, I’m not sure I’ll be able to see it, except for this weekend.

I like the concept of cast off treasures becoming “Everyday Monuments” by Jean Shin as part of the Common Threads exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Her “Chance City” comprised of lottery tickets as a House of Cards, changes daily as onlookers walk by it and cards fall. It runs through July 26th.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
