I’m excited to be participating in this year’s Traverse City Art Walk at Dharamsala TC!
I’ll be creating a colorful interactive studio experience where guests can explore original artwork, watch live painting demonstrations, and curate their own wearable art pieces.
• Original Acrylic Paintings — inspired by the beauty and joy of Northern Michigan, including cherry blossoms, landscapes, and vibrant colorful abstracts.
• Curate Your Own Wearable Art – guests can explore a collection of limited-edition Mini Original Paintings and select their favorite piece along with a preferred trucker hat color to create a custom one-of-a-kind wearable art piece. A selection of finished trucker hats will also be available during the event. Select minis will additionally be offered as framed original artworks featuring custom blue-and-white striped fabric matting and hand-painted frames.
• A Live Demonstration — guests can watch me paint and work on the mini canvases throughout the evening.
• Pet Portrait Commissions — currently open for a limited time, 8 pet portrait commission spots for fall.
• Small Artful Goods - including heart stickers and notecards.
I hope you can stop by to say hi! Plus enter to win a free give away! A big thank you to Dharamsala TC for hosting me at their beautiful yoga studio as their artist for this year’s Art Walk!
