Studio touring... real and virtual.

Last weekend's MAG [Merrickville Artists' Guild] Studio Tour and Sale was fantastic! I love sharing my art and my magical studio space with like-minded visitors. Talking about art and creativity always gives me a burst of energy and it seems to be contagious. It reminds me how lucky I am to be a full time visual artist.

For those who can't make it out to this last weekend of the MAG Studio Tour and for those who live far, far away: A PRIVATE STUDIO TOUR, JUST FOR YOU. Grab a snack and a cup of coffee and join me on a 23 minute virtual visit. It will be great to have you here :)

Visual Stimulation.

The new look of www.hollydean.com

It's been a hectic time here in the studio, getting ready for two OMMA Exhibits: Feast For The Eyes and Small Wonders South. And the MAG Studio Tour is approaching very quickly - Sep 22 & 23 / 29 & 30.

On top of it all, I discovered an amazing web theme, Archetypon Photographos IV, that I couldn't wait to incorporate into my own website. I love the browser full screen images and slideshows. As a visual artist, I want to show my work to full advantage.

These stimulating and inspirational pages are mixed in with the Theme Flood pages that I still love for their elegant design. [You can find my site listed under their Showcase at the bottom of the page.] So that's what I have been busy with, on top of lots of art production!

I like the new interactive feel at hollydean.com. The home page will be updated often with what's going on and the site will be a more active online hangout. On nearly every page you can click a link to hang out with me on lots of other social media sites and sign up for Mixed Media Musings art emails.  

I am curious to know what you think of the new look - and its ease of use. Please leave comments below so that I can get a good feel for how the changes affect your experience.

Thank you and enjoy this wonderful Autumn weather!

An Excellent Studio Tour

What a wonderful couple of weekends! The Merrickville Artists' Guild Studio Tour and Sale was a great success, with lots of interested folks dropping by The Studio at Greyweathers. There were engaging conversations and plentiful sales, keeping me hopping throughout the four days.

30 more people signed up for my mailing list, which keeps you up to date with going's on in the studio, exhibits and shows, classes and more. If you would like to be on my mailing list, sign up here.

Multi-tasking :) Wrapping up a purchase while talking about my art.

Works in progress.
