Running with Scissors

So. Joy ...Original Collage by Deco

  Sometimes a fresh set of eyes looking over your work can result in something brand new.    That’s the way is was for me last week when I was preparing flyers about my sales promotion for the animal shelter.    I had my daughter, a brilliant graphic designer, review the flyer, and suddenly I have a new slogan.    I just love it!    It’s so obvious, and quirky and true!

The New Slogan

I think it looks spiffy!

Promotion to the Support the Animal Shelter

​So, about that sales promotion, here’s the deal – and it’s not too late to get on board.  I have several items in my Etsy shop that feature Pear images…I create a lot of Pears!  (Just look at the “Mostly Pears” page of my website).  

​ 
​This  is  harvest season for pears so I  thought  that  I  would  entice  you  to reap some luscious pear collages.  I  will  donate 10% of  the sales  of Pear  items in  my Etsy  shop  DECOfineartcollage to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter.  Prints, Giclées, Posters and Greeting Card sets are all included in this promotion. Here’s the link to my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DECOfineartcollage The Pear promotion ends on September 30,  but  I will  do  another featured  item  next  month … hmmm … the aspens are  coming  into  full color in October …

​Good news from Española, a town northwest of Santa Fe.  Right on the heels of the great honor of local artist Roger Montoya – he was named a “Community Hero” by CNN for his work in establishing a nonprofit youth arts center in Española (https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/15/us/cnnheroes-roger-montoya-moving-arts-espaola/index.html)  – more art is coming to the town.  Española City Clerk, Melissa Velasquez, is progressing with her plan to have new art adorn the walls of City Hall.  Working with the Northern New Mexico Regional Arts Center director Gabriela Silva, she is recruiting regional artists to loan art for a half year.  At a recent meeting with the City Clerk and the Clerk’s Deputy, I agreed to be among the first to show there.  We expect to install the art in late October, with the public debut at a council meeting, in November or December.

​Meanwhile, I am continuing with my work on my Coral Reef Series, my vivid abstract work.   I am also prepping for my two big shows  coming in November,  the Recycle show in Santa Fe Convention Center and the  Holiday show at Meow Wolf.

And there is another group show at the Fuller Lodge Art Center in Los Alamos, Point of View.
