I am excited to announce that I have joined a wonderful group – Artistic Halloween Queens Uniting – AHQU, and my first piece available through them will be February 1 – just a couple of days from now!  The Queens have a Bootique – don’t you love that name?!  I will be a part of it, and will have updates the 1st of every month, and then in July, we update on the 15th as well.  Isn’t that grand?!  One  great place to find terrific Halloween art throughout the year!

I will be offering a piece I worked on last fall, called Up the Hill.  Here are a couple of pictures to stimulate your imagination!  This is a 10 x 12 mirror, the frame of which is done in a bas relief.  I have sculpted the scene onto the frame, so there is a lot of depth and detail.Hope to see you at the Bootique!  :-)  Ginny

Available now on the pfatt update:  Just have a look at  lots of snowmen!  Enjoy!

Lots of mini canvases, with colorful hooks for hanging.

Beautiful snowflake garland snowman!

I’ve been somewhat quiet lately, because I just did one big show last weekend here in Virginia Beach, and will be doing another this upcoming weekend in Williamsburg.  If you are in the neighborhood, you owe it to yourself to stop by on Saturday or Sunday for a nice show at Trinkle Hall on the campus of William & Mary! It’s the Grand Illumination weekend in this historic area, so there will be lots of activities, culminating with the fireworks and lighting of the town Sunday evening!  Wowee!  The show is open 9-5 pm on Saturday and 10-5 pm on Sunday!

Here are a few pics of my booth from last weekend!  And, you can see more in person this weekend!    Enjoy!

Beeg news for this monthly, everyone!  I will be the featured artist when pfatt marketplace updates tonight around midnight, Pacific time!  You’ll be able to read a bit about me, about my work, and about my family – even a family pic of my husband, son, and moi when  we celebrated at Matthew and Joan’s wedding this past July!  Yes!
