This past weekend, we packaged up carefully all of my fine art botanic prints…. and Eric designed beautifully our display at Ravenswood Art Walk 2009. This art exhibit had over 2,000 attendees, 184 artists and 43 venues…phew! It was blocks and blocks of artistic talent all out for all to see. There were dancers, painters, sculptors, photographers, graphic artists, chefs, etc etc! We had a great time meeting and greeting the neighborhood and new friends. Thank to all who came out to support what is so close to my heart.
This group of dancers was Jeezebelly. They were awesome!
This year Ravenswood Art Walk had a special exhibit, The Blago Project. It took place in the former wire tapped offices of the Friend of Rod Blagojevich. The exhibit was rooms and hallways filled with Blagojevich as the inspiration.
This was my favorite art from “The Blago Project” by Bianca McGraw made of cardboard and synthetic hair. Gross but awesome.
Last but not least is Simply Jessie Photography’s exhibit!

I wander with my class in the green humidity and it relaxes … Continue reading

I love rainy day sessions. I know for many a rainy forecast for your session can be a disappointment, but they always end up being so personal and a day to remember. Kristine is so flexible and relaxed so this forecast didn’t even concern her. We hopped in a cab and popped around downtown with … Continue reading
