Ashtree Studios 2007 "Emerging Artists" Exhibition

Ashtree Studios 2007 "Emerging Artists" Exhibition

Mark your calendars for Thursday, November 1st, 5-9pm at Ashtree Studios for the Opening Reception of the 2007 "Emerging Artists" Exhibition.

The show will continue through Saturday, December 1st, 2007.

Regular Studio Hours: Thursday/Friday 1-6pm and Saturday 10am-3pm.

This annual exhibit features the artwork of area high school students.

The work was chosen by Ashtree Studios owners, Aileen and Tony Imperatrice

from the 2007 Fresno County High Schools Art Exhibit at the Fresno Fair.
The art displayed at the Fresno Fair is sponsored by the Fresno County Office of Education.

This is the chance to encourage young artists, assure their parents that their sons'

and daughters' talent for art is appreciated and thank the schools and especially the

teachers for providing the opportunity for art education.

It gives the artists a chance to show their work in a commercial gallery and be a part of the ArtHop experience. It's great to add to a resume!

This year we will be featuring the art of:

Mette Jensen, Buchanan High School

Matt Jayne, Clovis High School

Majntxov Yang, Edison High School

Haley Lopez, Clovis High School

Alissa Kennedy, Clovis High School

"Trapped inTransition" Art Exhibition

The Art Show Continues!
Please join me on Thursday, September 6th, from 5-9pm for the Artist Reception at Ashtree Studios for my new art exhibit "Trapped inTransition".
Over the last few years, I've gone through a lot of life transitions and I felt it was time to put some of those experiences onto canvas. The way I've chosen to express these feelings are explored through new methods in my art creation.
This exhibit will run from August 2nd through September 29th.
Our regular hours are Th/Fri 1-6pm and Sat 10am-3pm.

I've been unbelievably busy these last few months and it hasn't just been in getting ready for my August exhibition. I also want to share with you other good news:
During the month of July and into the first week of August, I've been happy to have exhibited one of my "Self-Portraits" series paintings in Baltimore, Maryland at the Metro Gallery as part of their CLIQUE show. The artpiece is "In my fog" - you can see it on my website in the "Self-Portraits" section.
Secondly, I was accepted to exhibit 3 other paintings from this same series in Minneapolis, MN at the Altered Esthetics Gallery as part of The Art of Sacrifice show. The 3 that are going are "things are not well in this house", "Visiting Hours Do Not Apply" and "Torn" - all 3 you can also see on my website. They will be on display for the month of September.
Thirdly, I signed an agreement with the Fresno Art Museum to have 6 of my artworks and 2 prints for sale in their Gallery Shop. Please go visit and consider buying one of my pieces through them. It'll make me look good.

Also . . . I'm happy to be presenting a mini documentary about my life and art to you. This great little video was created by my good friend and arts internet marketing guru Marcel Nunis and features the music of Kien Lim.
You can view it on my website (where you can see other info about my work and Ashtree Studios) at www.ashtreestudios.com
or at www.youtube.com/aileenri
or on http://youtube.com/watch?v=839_fEfP2ww
or Marcel's page http://youtube.com/user/dathang
or on my myspace page.

Take a look and tell me what you think.

Thanks!
Aileen.
