Progress shots for the new show

Omnia vincit amor (Love conquers all.) There will be another version with two dudes kissing, but not for this show.


Serpentarium


I should be way ahead with these pieces but these have been tumultuous days. my studio contract with Inscape has expired and i decided not to renew it, so this week i've been busy packing up my stuff to bring back home. it has not been easy to let go of a dream to have my own working space where i could display my pieces to the public and teach, but the truth is that i have been producing way more at home, so the rent expenses are rather being painful now. i am now accommodating everything in the basement -- i started calling it "The Dungeon" -- and i feel comfortable enough to keep the creation flame burning. well, someday, i will be back.

so, moving on, because life is a constant flow.

i miss my yoga classes and i miss my bike rides. living in a city where bikers are everywhere, that is also a shame.

accepting registrations!

So, after a whole month getting settled in the new studio, I am finally accepting registrations for my drawing and painting classes! If you live in the Seattle area and want to get initiated in drawing and painting, or even if you are a practicing artist but would like to experience new ways to see and make art, you are very welcome. Minimum age is 8 years old, first class is free and all materials for use in the studio are included. Please visit the studio website for more info: http://studio.patricia-ariel.com

A dream come true

yes, i have not been quiet since i came to the Emerald City. and now i am finally seeing a dream coming true: my own private studio space!!

after looking for almost one month, I finally found this great space at the 1st floor of the Inscape building, in the Intl District, Seattle. it is cozy. it is well lit. it is perfect for all i have in mind. and it has green things outside! some minor things to be fixed, but not a big deal at all. my plans are to transform it in a place of celebration of the communion art + spirit. some workshops are already being designed to start very soon. stay tuned!
