December Gifts
TIP OF THE MONTH
December is by far the months for giving and receiving!
Now, this is the time to make a practical excuse for intuitively painting wild ! Huh? Yeah, make your own wrapping paper and let loose! . . .totally. . .the looser the better! Drip, smear. .. dabble, print. . .whatever. It is way fun to make wrapping paper, holiday cards. . .or go ahead. . .create the whole present.
This message is short and sweet. Intuitive prints can be done on any papers. . .for large gifts, newspaper, newsprints, packing paper work well to ge the practical scale for wrapping paper and think so its easy to wrap.
Please do let these wrapping paper ideas extend permission to experiment and make for some unique giving.

Play Sculpture installation got grant funding from the Amsterdam Fonds voor de Kunst! YAY!!! It is an interactive piece. This sculpture installation will happen at Molenpad, (January) by the waiting area for physiotherapy and for two months (February & March) at NDSM FUSE Gallery. They will be cardboard figures that the public can interact with. I will send a detailed update on opening parties in the 3rd week of January.
Freedom Sculpture installation Is a big installation that I, along with two other artists were invited to create our own pitch on. It is about a new art installation for Amsterdam Nieuw West! I am now waiting on the outcome! Still waiting!
