Gallery Night in Milwaukee -Moss Floral Design

This gallery night, I was fortunate to show some work at a floral design studio in Bay View called Moss Floral Design. Miki Herman is the owner. Not only does she offer beautiful floral pieces for events, but she also teaches classes on floral design. While visiting her studio, we also ventured next door to Eco-batik. Owner Jennifer Doheny had a lovely array of products from vintage metal pieces to jewelry to her own batik lampshades and artwork. You can find her print work on Etsy, and see some of her lamp shades on her own website. Thank you all who ventured out into the cold to share in gallery night!

Relaxing

Had a wonderful day at the beach with hubby recently. Got to take some pics....was a nice break from the home improvement projects we've been immersed in recently. Hopefully some of these will make it into my Etsy shop soon!!

Gallery Night in Milwaukee - this weekend!

This weekend, we are honored to be featured at The Home Market for Gallery Night in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward. We're showing about 20+ pieces, many of which are new, and not yet in our Etsy shop. The theme for this body of work is "On the Farm", a celebration of rustic beauty. If you're in the area, stop on by. Gallery Night in Milwaukee is an inspiring event showcasing work of wonderful artists!

Cedarburg Strawberry Festival

So this weekend is the Cedarburg Strawberry Festival! We're pretty excited/nervous since it's the largest art fair we've ever been a part of. They have over 100,000 visitors....yikes! I'm working on some last minute details today and tomorrow, those of you who know me, know that I am a procrastinor! During the festival (Sat + Sun) I will deactivate my specialty items, such as jewelry, canvases, framed pieces. Meaning, if they sell at the show, they will not be back on Etsy. I also have many other framed pieces...some vintage frames, some new...that will be at the festival. And wonderful sets of postcards. Many of the items aren't yet available in my Etsy shop. If you're in the Milwaukee area, and are looking for something fun and artsy to do, this would be a great stop for you. Directions can be found here. I will be near the Rivoli Theater on the west side of Washington Ave. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

A Vintage Christmas

Hello friends. As the holiday season is upon us, I'd just like to take a moment to encourage you all to try to relax and enjoy your time with friends and family. It's been a bit hectic here at the new home, but we're starting to settle in. I'm excited to be somewhat getting back to a normal life...well as normal as my life can be :) Hope you are all doing well. Here are some new prints in my shop. Also, if you are in the area, our work is available at the Starbucks in the Third Ward of Milwaukee for the month of december!

Gallery Night in Milwaukee

So Gallery Night on October 16th was so much fun! Again, I'm so honored that the The Home Market featured my work! They are an amazing store and did an inspiring job of arranging my work and complimenting it with some of there items. I sold 5 pieces from my new insect series. These are a preview of what will be available in our shop when we re-open in about a week. Miss you all, and look forward to being back after our move!! Emi :)

Now available at The Home Market

So from our Starbucks show, we were contacted by a local shop called The Home Market for some wholesale work. Much to my delight, I visited the store, and fell in love. Every item, every detail, seemed like it was hand picked. The feel was somewhat Anthropologie-esque, but less commercial feeling. Somewhat rustic, yet very sophisticated. And what an honor for them to choose to have some our work there! Our pieces have only been hanging for a little over a week, and we've already sold 3 items..yeah!! I highly recommend if you are in the Milwaukee area, you stop by. You are sure to find something to compliment your home. I've already got my eye on several things for my own home, and well as uniquely special holiday gift ideas.

Starbucks

Pfewf! It's been a busy few weeks here in Milwaukee.  Starting today, for the entire month of June, our work we'll be on display and for sale at Starbucks in the Historic Third Ward of Milwaukee.  Click here for directions and hours.  Items are priced between $30-$150.  It was encouraging to hear positive comments from the patrons and staff while we were hanging the work.  The rustic elegance of this particular Starbucks makes for a great backdrop for any artwork.  I feel lucky and honored to have work on display there.  If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking out some of the great shops/events that the Third Ward has to offer.  For more info on the area, click here.  If you'd like to visit my shop, click here.  Have a great week all!! ;)

Busy Monday

I had the best intentions of getting some favorites posted, but it just got pushed behind my other business today!  So here is one of my newer images.  This is the Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee, WI.  Enjoy, and hope to post some favorites soon...zz...zzzzz..zzzzz

Artbar

Cigarettes

(shot by me at Artbar)

Last night, the "Mini" show began at Artbar in Milwaukee's riverwest area.  It runs 11-07-08 through 1-07-09.  The concept is that they have several artists submit artwork that is 8x8 or less, and under $60.00.  It's a fun way to see a lot of art, and maybe do some holiday shopping!  I definitely had some favorites of the works there.   Artbar is such a charming little spot, where even in the details of the decor....you find art.  From their yardstick pub table tops, to their bungee cord stair rails, you're sure to be visually inspired.  If you're in the Milwaukee area, take a break and check it out!

More Trash the Dress.....this time with Steve Chesler!

So, my second attempt at shooting a Trash the Dress event.  The only water involved this time was the rain.  Fortunately, the many other pro photographers did an excellent job posing the models, so it made it much easier to shoot.  Again, a very fun, and enlightening event.  Steve and Ellen (of Steve Chesler Photography) had so many useful insights.  I'm thrilled that they were able to visit Milwaukee.
