Passports on Parade- Winner!

Published

Kareen, the winner of Passports on Parade, decided on the artwork she wanted, and I’m blessed to announce it was one of my works, a Formal photozaic Titled Gateway to Racepoint Beach.

The back story on Passports on Parade can be found here:

Gateway to Racepoint Beach

Gateway can offer up an over welcoming feeling of “come on in”.  This scene offers that feeling with a side of warning to those that don’t pay attention to their environment.  I don’t mind the locals and will respect their home.  If I’m not meant to be in the ocean I will sit quietly on the shore watching  a movie of waves play on repeat for my pleasure.

Guess what time it is…. That’s right!  Art-a-Whirl!

Just two weeks away.

I’m blessed to announce I’m officially renting studio space at Solar Arts Building, second-floor studio #205.  I share this space with 3 other artists, and I am happy to have a home here at Solar!

This year I’m participating in Passports on Parade this weekend too! Check out the website for more details and how to get your passport- there is a limited amount so do not hesitate.

I call it a scavenger hunt for artists’ stamps in the passport.  Why do this?  Opportunities to learn about the artist and their visions, see great art, and win $500.00 credit to spend on ACW artwork!  I know, AWESOME!

Side note:

My stamp is CheeBah approved!  Who doesn’t love a Corgi?? 

Below are some samples you will see this weekend.
