In This Issue...

September 13, 2012

Everything is FRESH at TraillWorks - from new fall lessons, new workshops, a new night of Figure Drawing, some exciting news about Jennie, and the CURRENT EXHIBIT! Sussex County is a four season destination and the Fall is a truly special one filled with rolling landscapes bursting with color, opportunities for apple and pumpkin picking, and weekly events. It's a great opportunity to take a trip and visit TraillWorks and take in all that Sussex County has to offer this Autumn.

Creatively,

Studio

Each year that I've been in business I have supported Ovarian Cancer Awareness, due to the passing of my mom's college roommate. For the past three years, including this one, I have taken the initiative to organize the "Tealing" of Newton. For the rest of the month I will donate 10% of sales from jewelry and scarves to Turn the Towns Teal, Inc.. To learn more about the symptoms of ovarian cancer and how to get involved, read the press release.

1st Museum Show!

Feast for the Eyes: The Art of Food

September 14, 2012 - January 13, 2013 Opening Reception: October 5, 2012, 5 - 8pm

I'm excited to announce my first museum exhibit inclusion! Several months ago, I was invited by the Noyes Museum of Art located in Hammonton, NJ, to participate in the show, Feast for the Eyes: The Art of Food. Two of my paintings were selected for inclusion. According to the museum's web site, "The exhibition will present food not merely as sustenance, but as cultural expression, a source of comfort, obsession, a symbol of prosperity and cause for celebration. Food has the ability to define us and who we are, tying us to our cultural roots and identity."

Join me at the opening reception on October 5th from 5 - 8pm. An artist talk will be held at 3:30pm with one of the artists, Sandra Bloodworth. Learn more about the Noyes and its current exhibits here. It's a fantastic museum, well worth a trip to South Jersey!

Art on Exhibit at SELECTIVE INSURANCE in Branchville, NJ

Thanks to the Sussex County Arts & Heritage Council along with a partnership with Selective Insurance, located in Branchville, NJ, my painting, New Jersey's Newton, has been included in a private three-month long show at the corporate headquarters. I appreciate the opportunity to share my work!

MURAL DEDICATION ANNOUNCED

After much anticipation, St. Joseph's Regional School has announced a mural dedication ceremony and Harvest Fest for Sunday, October 14th from 1 - 3pm. Join me for an afternoon filled with fun; Bounce House, Pumpkin Painting, Face Painting, and Fall Games. Without you, I couldn't have completed this large project!
