New Art Installation at Nemours duPont Pediatrics in Deptford, NJ

Last year I was contacted by Madison Art Consulting about licensing four of my artworks to be used as large canvas wrapped prints to be installed in the hallways and exam rooms of new branch of a major children's health facility. This past July, the installation was finally completed.

According  to Madison Art Consulting, "Madison Art recently installed 92 pieces of original and print art, a custom interactive sculpture, and a 36 foot wall graphic at Nemours duPont Pediatrics in Deptford, NJ. Creating an environment that encourages healing, play and smiles is truly special. We are honored to be a part of the A.I. duPont Hospital for Children| Nemours family on this project!"


Below is a photograph of one of my four artworks, Jangala, in one of the rooms of the facility. The original Jangala, by the way, is still available for purchase.


 


SAVE THE DATE:

Delaware County Studio Tour

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15
10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
&
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16
11 a.m. to 5 p.m.


The organizers of the popular Chester County Studio Tour that I participate in every spring have expanded to the first annual Delaware County Studio Tour! This is a truly neat event where tour participants can tour the county and visit many working artist studios along the way. Host artists in the region are paired up with guest artists, and this year I will be a guest artist at photographer Chris Macan's wonderful studio located in a former old church in Havertown. Along with Chris and myself, ceramacist George Watson will also be showing his artworks. We are Studio No. 3 on the map, so plan your tour and come visit us.



We invite friends, families, art enthusiasts, and the curious to experience and meet a variety of outstanding artists as they exhibit their work during this two-day event. This unique and intimate opportunity creates a free, unlimited access to the artists, and a clearer understanding of our story and creative process.


COUNTY COLLECTOR
As an added incentive, all the participating artists are creating unique miniature works of art called "County Collectors" that will measure 6 x 6 inches and available for a special weekend only price of $75. County Studio Tour wants to make art affordable for everyone and wants to show that art can be everywhere. Whether this is your first time buying original art or you are a seasoned collector, the tour now has something for everyone. In some instances, a favorite artist might be out of someone's price range, but now with the County Collectors Club, art is within reach. Some art enthusiasts are out of wall space yet enjoy the thrill of adding new art to their collection. This becomes possible with the County Collectors Club since the pieces are considered small.
All the pieces are uniform in size and framed with a simple, elegant black frame. To assure quality and uniqueness, all pieces will have a specially-marked certificate printed on the back commemorating this year's studio tour. Chester County Studio Tour is asking the artist to create only one commemorative piece of art, so plan your day and get out early to ensure you have art on your walls by Monday!

For more information on the County Collectors, please visit http://www.countystudiotour.com/#!county-collector/u67rv. Photos of all the county collectors will be uploaded to the website as the tour date draws nearer.

I can, however, share with you today my own county collector, which I finished a couple of days ago.

Strawberry Poison Frog
6 x 6 inches
Ink and Acrylic on Hardboard

Available for $75 during the Delaware County Studio Tour only. First come, first served. After the tour, if the artwork has not sold, it will be for sale at my normal price rate of $150. Every year I have participated in the studio tour, my county collector has sold so I advise people who are interested in purchasing the piece to arrive my studio location early.





 

I Need Your Vote (Again)


I need to ask you to do something for me today

I need your vote.

This year the Delaware County Studio Tour is awarding one artist on the tour $500. YOU get to pick that artist. I am hoping you will choose me. Back in Spring, you helped me to be the winning artist on the Chester County Studio Tour and I received that $500 award check, which was much needed for all of my art supplies. Thank you!
If I win the vote for the Delaware County Studio Tour, I will be using the money to invest in a better camera to take pictures of my artwork, which is badly needed.

It takes only a few seconds to cast your vote and voting is open until October 16. You can only vote once so please make your vote count.

If you do vote for me please email me to let me know as I'll be saving all email contacts and if I win, I will be randomly drawing one to send a free print to.
