First Friday

Hi everyone! Sorry this post is a little late, but this upcoming Friday is the First Friday for the SE side which means that the galleries stay open later and host receptions usually with food, drinks, and sometimes music. This will be the first time I'm participating as an artist and I'm super excited! The gallery my work is in, the Love Art! gallery, will be having their First Friday reception from 6pm - 8pm and there will be live music performed by Gary Kimmel. A portion of the proceeds that night will go to aid in Japan, so you can buy art for a good cause! Feel free to come by, and don't feel that you have to stay for the whole time. If you're interested you can bounce to the other galleries near by that are hosting First Friday events as well. Hope to see some people there!


Peace! Chantel


Here is the address for the gallery:

Love Art! Gallery
8036 SE 13th Ave.
Portland, OR 97202

Exciting News!

I've been bursting with excitement this past week because I had something in the works, but nothing was official so I had to wait. Now I can talk about it though...I have official gallery representation!! I was just accepted into the Love Art! Gallery in Sellwood!! My encaustic paintings will have a permanent space in their gallery, and people will be able to finally see and buy my work. I'm so excited! This is the first time I've had my paintings in anything other than an open call show so it's a huge step forward for me. I'm filling out the paperwork and will be dropping of my pieces on Wednesday, so look for them soon after that. I'll try to come for some of the First Friday receptions there so come on over and visit with me.
