MY NEW ONLINE STORE AT ZAZZLE.COM

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 19:01:00 +0000

I have embarked on a new creative business venture, my own online store at zazzle.com; featuring my own graphic art designs, as well as the ability to create new designs with my own fine art and crafts. I am new to the graphic art world, when I first studied this in high school, our methods were "old" school; certainly not digital.

I am looking forward to learning new things. I currently only have a few items for sale on the site , but there will be more to come.

I am hoping to create another income stream for myself, as well as boaden my artistic skills. I welcome any and all feedback, as well as requests for any particular design you believe my skills would apply to.

Restored Terra Cotta Flower Planter

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 00:01:00 +0000

This is a planter given to me by my best friend to restore...when I got it from her, it was not painted at all, just a plain terra cotta finish. The interesting thing about this piece was that on each side where the top portion of the leaves are, each leaf pattern is three dimentional.

I simply started with the existing leaf design, and added flowers and expanded the pattern. I am very proud of this piece, and my friend loved how it came out! In addition, by doing this project, I was able to teach myself a new shading technique for the leaves; because of having to deal with the three dimentional relief design. It matches the decor of her house very well.

I really enjoy taking a simple and unfinished piece of pottery and creating something totally different with it. I have had much success with these hand painted pots, and I receive many compliments on them.

Online Art Competition

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:53:00 +0000

As an avid user of Facebook, I came upon an artist group, sponsoring the 1St Annual Autumn Painting Challenge and Competition. I submitted my painting "Lady in Waiting" because the use of colors and landscape were conducive to the objectives of the competition.

Fifteen winners were announced ( was not one of them) and will be participating in an actual Gallery Show in western Pennsylvania. Even though I did not win, it is very good, in the age of social media, to put yourself out there, and connect with other artists. Get your work viewed by as many people as possible. Often times, it is not what you know, but who you know when you get your big break in life.

This is an item I will be adding to my Artist Resume as well. Document everything. This will make a bigger impression upon that gallery owner you are trying to convince to exhibit your work.

My Paintings Featured at New Local Gift Shop

My Paintings Featured at New Local, Eco-Friendly Gift Shop

I am pleased to announce a new business relationship with "Down To Earth" a local Eco-Friendly gift shop located at the Stone Cottage Gardens on Rt. 512 in Pen Argyl, PA.

I happened to find this store when visiting it with a friend of mine. The owner, Kate, along with her fiance, has put together a wonderful little store which is very quaint and inviting. Apparently a newly renovated building which used to be part of the original house which is on the property and is currently being used as an antique store, she proclaims her unique gifts and furnishings as "Eco-Friendly Indulgences for the Greener Good". It is a retail/gift shop specializing in eco-friendly products, including clothing, jewelery and unique hand crafted items.

"Down To Earth" is currently exhibiting three of my paintings, "Vase of Flowers", an Iris Giclee Print, "Waterlilies in Spring", an original acrylic on canvas, and "Summer Poppies", an original acrylic on canvas board. I believe my work fits in well with the garden-themed surrowndings of the property. I hope to display some of my other work there, including some of my fine art crafts possibly in the spring time.

The store's web site is http://www.DownToEarthLife.com

which is currently under construction, but will be up and running soon, according to Kate. It can also be found on Facebook, at

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pen-Argyl-PA/Down-To-Earth/145750702578?ref=mf

I suggest anyone loving antiques, and unique hand crafted items visit the store- it is just beautiful!; and I am proud and honored to be a part of it.

My Third Collaborative Book Entry, "Secrets" Upcoming Event:

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:00:00 +0000

(The photos above are courtesy of Maryann Riker, book artist and fellow ACE member)

I am pleased to announce I just completed my third Collaborative Book assignment, as curated by my fellow ACE (The Arts Community of Easton) decorative book artist, Maryann J. Riker. I was honored she asked me for a third time to participate in the piece; as this is my third time as one of the collaborating artists featured.

This time the theme was "SECRETS"....which could

refer to any kind of secret; or any view of secrets. Per Ms. Riker, the assignment was as follows: "SECRETS......We all have them...hidden and close to the heart...sometimes we open them to ourselves or unfold them to let someone else know about them...sometimes unbidden they whisper back to us..reminding us that they are there, keeping silent, but always with us...what secrets do you wish to unfold with us?"

The format of this piece consists of a 3"x3" square ocular-opening envelope as the container for the "secrets"; and could be created using any kind of media. Since I am a painter, I chose acrylic for one, and colored pencil for the other. The size was

a bit of a challenge, but I believe my designs work well.

The completed collaborative book will be submitted, and donated to the National Museum for Women in the Arts for inclusion into their Special Collections. In March of 2010, the book will be exhibited in the Phillipsburg, Easton area during National Women's History Month.

(These photos are only of the back side of each, unfortunately, since the rest of my pictures came out extremely blurry.....)

The piece on the left on the cream colored card stock paper, is my more serious "secret"; which focuses on an issue which unfortunately affects many women today, which is domestic violence. I am familiar with this all too well, as I too was a victim of it. The center fold features a poem which I wrote, and on either side of the poem is the image of a broken heart on one side, and wilted flowers on the other. You will understand why I chose these images after reading the poem which follows:

SECRETS, SECRETS

I could not tell

I was living a living hell......

Why was my husband that way with me?

Anger, depression, violence, hatred and jealousy.

Why did only a few believe me?

Like a wilted flower, apart from a beautiful bouquet;

Alienated and alone.

Years and time have passed, not all the wounds have healed.

Yet like a wilted flower, I was reborn

and bloomed again.

No longer tormented by the past;

and have flourished on my own.

The piece on the grey colored card stock paper is a more positive interpretation of "secrets".

On the back reads, "I have a Secret" in French, and on the inside reads "I love you" and "Love", also in French. On either side are heart-shaped floral designs which I created using colored pencil.

These kinds of artistic projects are very interesting, as every individual has their own interpretation of the theme; and it is great to see the finished product of all the smaller pieces becoming one artistic statement.

UPCOMING OPENING RECEPTION:

Women's Work--An Exhibit at The Gallery at St. John's from 1/3/10-2/28/10. Opening Reception on 1/3/10 from 12 noon-3 p.m.
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:16:08 -0500

An exhibit of five women artists will exhibit work at St. John's Gallery, 330 Ferry Street, Easton, PA from 1/3/10 through 2/28/10. An opening reception will take place on 1/3/10 from 12 noon - 3 p.m. and an artist's talk will also occur on 2/7/10 at noon. The public is invited.

The exhibit organized by Maryann Riker brings together five women artists and ACE members who carry on the tradition of women's work that is influenced by the feminist art movement heralded in the 1970's by such art world notables as Judy Chicago and Miriam Shapiro. It exemplifies the craft of the domestic arts into the mainstream of fine art/fine craft and these are demonstrated by Susan Huxley and Marya. Jackie Lima, Kim Robertson and Maryann Riker exhibit work depicting women in their domestic environments.
Also on view on 1/3/10 at the opening reception will be "SECRETS" a women's collaborative book by 20women artists who constructed origami envelopes that enveloped their secrets and were then bound into a 10 foot accordion book. The book, "SECRETS", will be on display at Moravian College for Women's History Month in March, 2010.

For more information on this exhibit, please contact St. John's Gallery at 610-258-6119.

I am proud to be a part of this collaborative work by many talented women, and was an opportunity to share something personal with the world in hopes of helping other women with the same experiences.

Hand Painted Botanical Slate

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:57:00 +0000

These pieces were created from pieces of formed slate that a friend of mine gave me which she discovered in her basement. Slate is very prevalent in my area of PA; and I am hoping to be able to create more of these.

Large Hand Painted Botanical Slate $60.00

The right hand views of these pieces are with eisel stands I purchased to hold them; instead of using some kind of mounting device. I found this method of display is more appropriate to the designs.

These and other pictures of my fine art craft items can be found on my flickr page:

UPCOMING EVENT: WOMEN OF ACE SHOW AT CONNEXIONS GALLERY OPENING SAT. MARCH 7, 6-9 PM

WOMEN OF ACE GALLERY SHOW
In Celebration of International Women's Month
Connexions Gallery, Easton, PA
Opening Saturday March 7, 6-9 pm

This year, our first ACE group show is for the women of ACE only. It is in celebration of International Women's Month. The theme this year corresponds with the Green Movement, celebrating women who take the lead in saving the planet. The pieces featured in the show are to represent our voices as women, artists and individuals conscious of the world.

For more information on the show, please visit:

http://www.connexionsgallery.net/ and the ACE official site: http://www.eastonart.net/

My particular piece which was accepted for this juried show is entitled, "Old Lady" which was actually created when I was a student in Studio Art in High School. It is an original watercolor, on canvas board; and I feel is more of a "character analysis" of the subject.

I hope to see some of you at the opening!

___________________________________________________________________

This was a small and intimate opening; but fun and nice to see how the women of our group interpreted the theme. My piece is one of the smallest; yet made a big statement.

Hopefully it will sell!

UPCOMING EVENT: ART ACROSS THE RIVER FESTIVAL

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:25:00 +0000

SECOND APPEARANCE AT THE "ART ACROSS THE RIVER FESTIVAL"

This will be my second time exhibiting at this event. It is a beautiful place to exhibit, and offers a chance to meet other fellow artists and vendors. I will be showing my fine art crafts, as well as original paintings for sale.

Date: Sunday, September 28, 2008 (PLEASE NOTE: RAIN DATE IS THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, SAME TIME FRAME- THE FORECAST IS CALLING FOR RAIN THIS WEEKEND)

Set up begins at 8:00 am, judging at 11:30, and the exhibit ending at 4:30 pm.

Various prizes are offered. If you would like more information, or would like to be considered as a vendor/artist for next year, please visit http://www.artacrosstheriver.com/

NOTE: UNFORTUNATELY, IT POURED THE ENTIRE DAY, SO I DID NOT MAKE MY APPEARANCE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT MY WORK TO BE RUINED IN THE RAIN.

DESPITE THE RAIN, THE VENDORS ON THE PA SIDE OF THE RIVER INSISTED THE EVENT STILL TAKE PLACE, DESPITE MANY PROTESTS.............THAT WAS THE WRONG MOVE AS I SEE IT.

My First Collaborative Painting

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 21:36:00 +0000

This is my first collaborative painting, with a fellow artist/friend named Charlie Hanson, who also belongs to my group, The Arts Communtiy of Easton. This project was actually his idea, and we both brought our strenths to the table. He is an extremely skilled portrait artist, which is not my strong suit; and I am skilled creating impressionistic landscapes.

I would highly recommend doing collaborations with other artists; it is a chance for both people to learn from each other, while creating something beautiful.

This painting will be featured at the Pennsylvania State Theatre Gallery, along with pieces from various other ACE artists, which opens on September 28, 2008. The opening is from 3-5 pm. The show will run from 9/18 to 11/7. The State Theatre is located on Northampton Street, in Easton, PA.

Completed, framed "Lady in Waiting", acrylic on canvas. This is an antique frame which Charlie Hanson restored for this project.

Completed, prior to framing.

This is the end of Stage 1 of the painting, after I finished most of my work on this piece; leaving the figure for the other artist to begin. I then completed the finishing touches, as it appears above.

This is my sketch that I worked from for this piece, done roughly in charcoal. It is a very good idea to do this prior to starting anything on canvas, so that you are sure of the placement and scale of the items in the painting. The idea for the background scene started when Charlie, the other artist and I, were doing an outdoor show at the beginning of the summer, and I started to do some sketches after he asked me if I would be interested in collaborating with him on a project. I love lilly ponds, and artists like Monet and Seurat, and wanted the figure in the piece to appear like those in of Monet and Seurat.

EASTON FARMER'S MARKET 08/23/08

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:31:00 +0000

For the second year in a row, I will be manning the ACE, Arts Community of Easton's booth/ tent at the Farmer's Market in Easton, PA (all around the Center Square) on Saturday August 23, 2008- weather permitting. This event runs throughout the summer until November, every Saturday, from 9am-1 pm.

I will be featuring my hand painted crafts, including some new clay flower pot pieces, as well as various 2 dimentional artwork. I have found this is a good place to exhibit items that are "garden" related, and there are alot of nice people to meet.

For more information on the event, please see:

http://www.eastonmainstreet.org/index.html

or visit the Art Community of Easton's website:

http://www.eastonart.org/

Hope to see you there!

It was an absolutely beautiful day; I enjoyed the sun and meeting alot of nice people who gave me many good compliments on my work. I did have a sale, so it was a success.

Here are pics of the newest hand painted terra cotta pots I just finished for this event:

"Shabby Chic" inspired hand painted clay pots

This is a portion of a set of terra cotta pots I just completed; I took the design and colors from the hand painted vanity (see below) I did for my youngest daughter. I love the yellow/white combination.

"Rust" themed hand painted clay pot set

All of these pots have similiar but slightly different color combinations, and ended up looking very nice together.

"Lavendar" inspired hand painted terra cotta pot

This color combination, as far as my crafts are concerned, was something totally different for me. I just wanted to try something out of the norm; and used lavendar, blue, and pink. I think these colors work very well together.

Restoration of Authentic German Hope Chest

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:45:00 +0000

AFTER- TOP VIEW

This is an authentic German Hope chest, which a friend of a friend asked me to restore. It was built in 1934, has German writing on the inside, and a unique painting on the top. It was severely damaged in shipment from Germany to the United States.

I had to repaint mostly the entire orange area on the lid; it was so damaged.....the customer did not want me to do too much to destroy the authenticity of the piece- and I believe I was true to his wishes.

AFTER- FRONT VIEW

This is the front view of the chest; and hopefully the areas that I had to repaint blends into the rest well. The entire corners and sides had to be sanded down in many areas. I then applied acrylic gesso, then matched the colors and painted one color at a time. The green area was very difficult because there are five variations of the green that had to be matched.

BEFORE- FRONT VIEW

BEFORE- FRONT/INSIDE VIEW

This is the first time I have ever undertaken this type of furniture "restoration". With patience and attention to detail, it can be done properly; and look even better than before.

Upcoming Events: 2 outdoor shows

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:29:00 +0000

Sunday June 08, 2008- Community Faire and Car Show, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Lake Minsi Drive, Bangor, PA. This is a Church sponsored event, and my own artwork will be displayed, along with a few other artists and crafters. This is also a car show, which should help to attract customers!

It is very beneficial to be involved in your community, and participate in events such as these. Church is a place where you can also make connections, and gain potential customers!

This event was a fun event and a success; I was able to sell one item.

Sunday, June 15, 2008- 2008 River Rites Music and Art Festival, an ACE, Arts Community of Easton Event, Riverside Park, Easton, PA. This is a Juried event; paintings and other craft items to be displayed. This will be the first year I am able to participate in this event, and from what I have heard from my fellow ACE members, brings alot of visitors to the area.

It is free and open to the public. There will also be a full schedule of music at the amphitheatre starting at noon, in addition to the arts and crafts booths.

For more information, please visit: www.eastonart.net/RiverRites/

This is a view of my set-up with a free-standing display. It was a reqirement of this particular show; but I would recommend it to any serious artist who does not want their work to fall in the wind. It is very heavy to transport, but it's worth it not to have anything get damaged from the wind blowing.

This is the view down the river, looking at the "Free Bridge" between Easton, PA and Phillipsburg, NJ. The park is located just to the side of the main bridge on rt. 22.

This is a view of some of the other vendor's set-ups.
Although I did not sell anything at this event, it was a good opportunity for me to network with other artists, and I even did a little sketching and painting, and started working on a collaborative painting I will be doing with another fellow artist. Here is a good tip for those of my fellow artists who often participate in outdoor events such as these: have multiple small items for sale, $20.00 and under; because most of the people who attend these type of shows do not wish to spend alot of money at one time.

"All Walks of Life" at the Garden of Easton, Opening April 19, 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:21:00 +0000

"Old Lady" 5"x7" $50.00 Framed

Original watercolor on canvas board

Currently on sale at the Garden of Easton, Easton, PA until May 17th.

On April 19, 2008 from 5 to 7 pm, will be the opening for my next show entitled, "All Walks of Life", which celebrates Earth Day. This will be held at the Garden of Easton, located at 249 Northampton Street, Easton, PA. This is a "small works" show as all of the pieces had to be a maximum of 12" on either side.

My entry for this show is entitled, "Old Lady", which is a piece I did back in 1987 while still in High School and is somewhat of a "character study".

The Garden of Easton is a quaint little shop which is owned by a fellow ACE Member and friend, and has a somewhat "ecclectic" ambiance. "Everything available to create your tranquil space indoors and out, i.e. fountains, wind chimes, gifts for gardeners, plants and more".

This is the second time I have had a piece on exhibit in this location. I hope to be exhibiting another after this show. For more information on the show or the shop itself, please visit

Arts Community of Easton Annual Group Juried Show, "Reinvention" Opening 4/5/08

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:38:00 +0000

"Flower Still Life" by Maurice Utrillo, 1946

"Utrillo Impression" 21"x21", original acrylic on canvas

$250.00 available at Connexions Gallery, Easton, PA until May 11, 2008

The "assignment" for this show was to "reinvent" a vintage poster, while still staying true to the original. My choice was Maurice Utrillo's "Flower Still Life" from 1946.

This is my interpretation of the artist's piece. His is more of an "Expressionist" interpretation; i.e. harder lines and a rough feel of the still life. I wanted to create an "Impressionistic" interpretation of the image; using techniques using loose brush strokes and mixing the colors on the canvas instead of on the pallete.

"Reinvention"The Arts Community of Easton's Annual Group ShowApril 4th thru May 11thOpening Reception, April 5th from 6 to 9 PM.

Connexions Art Gallery, 213 Northampton Street, Easton, PA 18042

Time once again for ACE's Annual Group Show at Connexions. In past years, we have focused on a "river/water" theme for this show. This year Connexions will be doing something different. We have asked artists to take vintage art posters and incorporate them into a piece of their own art in a way that creates a new piece of art.

This will be a juried show. Ingrid Renard from the Hunterton County Museum will be the juror. Stop by and enjoy the recreations of these vintage posters as interpreted by members and supporters of the Arts Community.A portion of the proceeds will go towards the ACE general fund.

PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release:
______________________________________

Local Artist Displays Work
And Adds Appeal
To The L&D Holmes Building
______________________________________

Easton, PA. April 16, 2007. Local Artist Kimberley T. Walton of Bangor, PA has been given the opportunity to exhibit their work in the lobby of the L&D Building in Easton; located at 101 Larry Holmes Drive. Owners Riverstar Properties, LLC, seek to add beauty and appeal to the property by exhibiting artwork by local artists. Artwork will be exhibited until May 12 or thereafter, upon discretion of the owners of the building.

Kimberley T. Walton, a member of the Arts Community of Easton, is displaying her paintings as available for sale to the public. Her interest in being an artist started in High School when she won First Place for painting in the National Art Honors Society Invitational Art Competition in 1987, for her interpretation of Monet’s “Water Lillis” series; now entitled “Waterlillies Revisited”. She considers herself to be a "Modern Impressionist", drawing inspiration and techniques from the classic masters of the Impressionist Movement, such as Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir; specializing in original acrylic landscapes and florals. Other works by her can be seen currently at the ACE Member Juried Show at the Fowler Center in Bethlehem, PA until April 20, 2007, the Newark Public Library, Special Collections Division, Newark, NJ and The Skillman Library, Lafayette College, Easton, PA; indefinitely. Her work has also been shown previously at Gallery 31 North, in Glen Gardner, New Jersey.
