Masquerade Art Show Tomorrow! Plus Revamped Etsy Shop

I just spent the better part of two days revising and updating and adding new items to my Etsy shop, so please take a look here.

Also, just a reminder for those of you who live in or near Fort Lauderdale, Floriday: Tomorrow, May 22, is the opening reception for Gallery 101's Masquerade Group Art Show. I'll be featuring my artwork "The Fox Maiden" for sale at this event, but there will be a ton of really cool mask-themed artworks there by a myriad of local and national artists.

Details below:

OPENING RECEPTION

A Multi-Media Arts Event and Masquerade Ball.
Opening reception and "masked gathering"

For those who may want to purchase a mask for this event, there will be a limited amount of masks available for sale at the door

Refreshments / Wine

This exhibit will include masks and other art works by artists responding to symbolic and concrete uses of masks related to carnival, ceremonial, spiritual, and other societal appearances of "masking". The exhibition will examine the mask as a wearable work of art, as a means of hiding or changing the identity of a person, as a protective device, literal and metaphoric meanings of"masking" in contemporary culture.

Historically, mask-makers have shown great resourcefulness in selecting and combining a wide array of materials. Artists in this exhibition also incorporate familiar and unexpected materials in their works.
