March 2013 Art Update

Posted by admin | Events and Updates | Saturday 23 March 2013 12:01 pm

Hello Everyone!

I have just a moment to steal away from my easel for an update.

As I work long hours in my studio preparing a whole new series of paintings for my big solo show in June at 1821 Calaveras, and as I continue to try and sell my art to pay for my materials, I have just one very important update:

My GOFUNDME.COM page!

http://www.gofundme.com/1wigps

This vitally important quest for marketing funds through gofundme.com started off well but now the contributions have come to a lull. I need your help. The funds you and others put in will help me afford serious and focused marketing help to not only increase my art sales, but also to find out of town galleries to represent me and my art work! Thus giving me the time necessary to develop the evolution of my art.

You can be part of making this forward push in my art career happen . . . Please contribute and share with anyone you know who might be interested. Thank You! I really appreciate your help!

And as always, I invite you to visit my online art galleries where you can find images of all my work along with the details of size and price: http://photos.ashtreestudios.net/ and remember that I am also always willing to work out payments with you.

Thanks for reading!

January 2013 Art Update

Posted by admin | Events and Updates | Friday 18 January 2013 3:00 pm

2013!

And we’re off and running . . .

Most importantly, I have a big solo show booked by invitation at 1821 Calaveras,

Downtown Fresno for June. Expect new work and a look into where my mind

has taken me recently. As the ArtHop Opening draws closer you will receive

invites and a sneak peak. In the meantime, I’m hard at work in my studio.

I’m continuing work producing and hosting “Artist to Artist” through our local

CMAC studios. Delays outside my control are teaching me patience.

Meanwhile, as the new episodes will air both on the CMAC tv channels and

stream online, I continue work raising funds. You can visit my website for

more information. http://ashtreestudios.net/info/?page_id=1516

There is still time to see my piece “gender neutral” in the ACA Open Juried

Fine Art Show at Chris Sorensen’s Gallery/Studio, Downtown Fresno. I was

invited to exhibit one piece for being one of the judges of the show. The show

continues through January 25th.

I invite you to visit my online art galleries where you can find images of all my

work along with the details of size and price: http://photos.ashtreestudios.net/

If you happen to find something you like . . . please remember I am more than

willing to work out payment plans and I take credit cards too!

November 2012 Art Update

Posted by admin | Events and Updates | Monday 19 November 2012 1:49 pm

Welcome November! The time of year we are reminded to give Thanks . . .

And I have some major projects for which I am thankful are happening.

My solo show “Necessity Finds Illumination” is in full swing through to the end of November inside the First Floor Halls between the Iron Bird Lofts and inside the Faithful & True Tattoo Studio (both on the corner of Fulton and Divisadero – Downtown Fresno). You’ll see my newest series of 11 art works focusing on my exploration into the subconscious and the fog that separates some thoughts from reality. You’ll also see some previous pieces that show the evolution of symbols in my work. If you find anything you like, let me know and we’ll work something out – I am more than willing to work out payment plans with you, I take credit cards and some of the previous works on view are at special discount prices.

Here is the link to the Facebook invite: http://www.facebook.com/events/391817874223622/

The first few episodes of my tv show“Artist to Artist” are in final edit and will run on the CMAC television channels as well as stream online soon. (I’ll send a note out to all when the dates and times of my show are confirmed.) Follow this link for more info on how to watch: http://cmacfresno.org/watch/

This new show I am producing and hosting through the CMAC (Community Media Access Collaborative) studios, is about the conversations that happen between artists. I’ve chosen my artist friends and colleagues who I regularly share discussions with, and have recorded on camera some of the things we talk about. Supplemented with images of their work and other things, this gives the viewer a chance to see and hear what artists have to share about being an artist along with the kind of shop-talk we engage in. I also see this as an important educational tool and an amazing archive of the artists working today. I am continuing to look for Underwriters to fund episodes so I can pay my staff and myself to continue to produce this program. The need to find funding sources is the next step in seeing this production forward. I’ve created an Underwriter Page on my website with the video proposal and am ready to meet with any organizations, companies and individuals.

Here is the link to my website page where you’ll see the video proposal for ”Artist to Artist” with all the Underwriter details: http://ashtreestudios.net/info/?page_id=1516

In the meantime:

Most of you will have seen the invite on Facebook for the continuation of “Make Me An Offer Monday”

You can visit here: http://www.facebook.com/events/221856954492591/

I also invite you to visit my online art galleries where you can find images of all my work along with the details of size and price: http://photos.ashtreestudios.net/ If you happen to find something you like . . . please remember I am more than willing to work out payment plans and I take credit cards too!

October 2012 Art Update

Posted by admin | Events and Updates | Wednesday 31 October 2012 8:34 pm

It’s finally beginning to feel like Fall . . .

And I have some major projects coming to fruition:

My work is finished in studio creating new art to premiere in my solo show in November inside the Iron Bird Lofts Hallway Gallery and the Faithful and True Tattoo Studio.

“Necessity Finds Illumination” is my newest series of art focusing on my willingness to let otherwise back of mind images come forward in visual form. It is an exploration into the subconscious and the fog that separates them from reality.

There will be 11 new pieces I will premiere, alongside some previous pieces, to fill the First Floor Halls between the Iron Bird Lofts Office/Retail spaces and inside the Faithful and True Tattoo Studio (on the corner of Fulton and Divisadero – Downtown Fresno). The Opening ArtHop Reception is Thursday, November 1st, 5-8pm and the art will remain on view and for sale for the entire month of November. Click on image to see full size:

And if everything goes forward as planned, you will begin to see the first few episodes of “Artist to Artist” run on the CMAC television channels as well as stream online in November. Follow this link for more info on how to watch: http://cmacfresno.org/watch/ (I’ll send a note out to all when the dates and times of my show are confirmed.)

This summer I began producing and hosting this new show through the CMAC (Community Media Access Collaborative) studios and the first few episodes are almost ready to air! Final editing is in process and I am continuing to look for Underwriters to fund episodes so I can pay my staff and myself to continue to produce this program.

As you’ll hear in the video proposal, “Artist to Artist” is a show about the conversations that happen between artists. I’ve chosen my artist friends and colleagues who I regularly share discussions with, and have recorded on camera some of the things we talk about. Supplemented with images of their work and other things, this gives the viewer a chance to see and hear what artists have to share about being an artist along with the kind of shop-talk we engage in.

And I want to send out a Thanks! to Michael Parola for creating my newest artist cards, to continue my communication with prospective representative galleries!

September 2012 Art Update

Posted by admin | Events and Updates | Monday 1 October 2012 10:47 am

Hi Everyone!

It’s been a busy summer with a lot of exciting things in progress . . .

First of all, my work continues in studio as I create new art to premiere at my solo show in November

inside the Iron Bird Lofts. I’ll share more about this as we get closer. Until then, I’ll just keep working.

Currently, I have 3 separate group shows in which I was fortunate enough to be asked to participate.

“Transparency” – September Chris Sorensen’s Studio 2223 S. Van Ness Ave.

“Hidden Treasures” – September Margaret Hudson’s Studio 1946 E. Swift Ave.

“End of Summer Fine Art Sale” – September Boling Fine Arts Gallery 5100 N. Sixth, Suite 120

You can click on this link www.facebook.com/aileenri to take you to my Facebook page where you can see all the art I have for sale in these shows.

In October I’ll have 3 pieces in the Fresno Fair Fine Arts Bldg. and will be judging the Adult “Paint & Draw the Big Fresno Fair” contest entries.

Most of you will have seen the invite on Facebook for the continuation of “Make Me An Offer Monday”

You can visit here: http://www.facebook.com/events/221856954492591/

I also invite you to visit my online art galleries where you can find images of all my work along with the

details of size and price: http://photos.ashtreestudios.net/ If you happen to find something you like . . . please remember I am more than willing to work out payment plans and I take credit cards too!

And now for the biggest reveal this month:

Introducing “Artist to Artist“

You’ve heard me talk about this either in person or by reading my words in previous email blasts, and now it’s here. This summer I’ve been busy producing and hosting a new show through CMAC (the Community Media Access Collaborative) and I want to share it with you as some of my biggest supporters and prominent art supporters as well.

I am seeking Underwriters to fund this project. I need to be able to pay a crew and myself so that I can afford to do this and not just lose more time away from creating my art work in studio. This need to find funding sources is the most important and next step in seeing this production forward. I’ve created an Underwriter Page on my website with the proposal video, and am ready to meet with any organizations, companies and people.

Here is the link to my website page with all the Underwriter details and the video.
