This summer has been unreal. The Heart to Hand showcase sold so much of my work – nearly forty pieces! I’m busy with commissions and building my studio for the rest of the year. I’m switching hats for August and September – acting as resident drywall-er for my new studio, and curator for an (BEAUTIFUL!!) exhibit of prairie art that is slated for January / February at the Saskatchewan Craft Council. I basically have the show selected with the exception of a few last items. I am feel like I’m growing so much from the experience.
My new announcement is that I now have my work in the biggest gallery in the province. The MacKenzie Art Gallery of Regina has a huge, bright shop that now carries a few of my threadpaintings, ‘Wish You Were Here’ fabric postcards, and some special things for the holidays as well. That feel so amazing.
The work I had at the SK Craft Council Boutique in Saskatoon all sold in July, so I brought in a couple high-end pieces for them as well. They also carry my postcard series here in Saskatoon.
There you have it! If you would like to be on my email list for when I announce the open house for my new studio as well as the next exhibition of my work, send me an email to say so! I’m at Monika@MySweetPrairie dot ca. Thanks so much for checking in!
Enjoy your summer.
