New Things from Aileen

Hello Everyone!
It's time . . .
Please join me on Thursday, August 2nd, from 5-9pm at the Opening Reception at Ashtree Studios for my new art exhibit "Trapped inTransition".

Over the last few years, I've gone through a lot of life transitions and I felt it was time to put some of those experiences onto canvas. The way I've chosen to express these feelings are explored through new methods in my art creation. I'll be posting some of the images soon after the show premieres.
This exhibit will run from August 2nd through September 29th.

I've been unbelievably busy these last few months and it hasn't just been in getting ready for my August exhibition. I also want to share with you other good news.

This month and ending on August 3rd, I've been happy to be exhibiting one of my "Self-Portraits" series paintings in Baltimore, Maryland at the Metro Gallery as part of their CLIQUE show. The artpiece is "In my fog" - you can see it on my website in the "Self-Portraits" section. (I'm hoping someone is buying it so I don't have to worry about getting it back to Fresno.)

Secondly, I was just accepted to exhibit 3 other paintings from this same series in Minneapolis, MN at the Altered Esthetics Gallery as part of The Art of Sacrifice show. The 3 that are going are "things are not well in this house", "Visiting Hours Do Not Apply" and "Torn" - all 3 you can also see on my website. I'm sending them towards the end of this month and they will be on display for the month of September.

Thirdly, I just signed an agreement with the Fresno Art Museum to have 6 of my artworks and 2 prints for sale in their Gallery Shop. Please go visit and consider buying one of my pieces through them. It'll make me look good.

Also . . .
I'm soooo happy to be presenting a mini documentary about my life and art to you. This great little video was created by my good friend and arts internet marketing guru Marcel Nunis and features the music of Kien Lim.
