Hello everyone! Here’s a quick overview of my 3x3s for the annual 3x3 exhibition and fundraiser by Arlene’s Artist Materials. This year’s beneficiary is the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council. I love participating in this exhibition! I collaged some gel prints and painted them with acrylics. I used glazing and the mother color technique to help harmonize the colors.

Thanks for watching! If you’re local, be sure to check out this exhibit. Go early if you want to ensure you get the pieces you want!

🎨 CALL FOR ART: Room of Wonders — A Contemporary Cabinet of Curiosities

The R Gallery at Arlene’s is excited to announce the Call for Art for Room of Wonders: A Contemporary Cabinet of Curiosities, a juried group exhibition inspired by the historical Wunderkammer. This show will transform the gallery into a modern space of marvels, mysteries, and unexpected connections — and we want to see what you create.

We’re seeking artwork that evokes curiosity, wonder, strangeness, or discovery. Artists may respond to one or more classic Cabinet of Curiosities categories:

🌳 Naturalia — nature, organic forms, ecology
🎨 Artificialia — crafted or altered objects
🌎 Exotica — cultural hybridity, unfamiliarity
🔬 Scientifica — observation, measurement, experimentation
🤩 Mirabilia — the marvelous, uncanny, extraordinary

All interpretations are welcome — literal, conceptual, or experimental — and all media are encouraged. Open to artists 18+ working in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, photography, assemblage, mixed media, digital art, and small installations.

Day 100 of my . I did it!!!!! Today’s piece is an experiment with layering Derwent tinted charcoal XL/ pencils and Graphitint blocks/ pencils on hot press watercolor paper by New York Central. I thought I’d end the series with a self-portrait. It did NOT go as planned!

Thank you all so much for joining me on this journey!

Day 98 of my . I’m trying out the Derwent Graphitint pencils and blocks with water again after yesterday’s fail on the Canson Velvet paper. Today I’m using my 140 lb hot press watercolor block by New York Central. It worked MUCH better! I tried to keep it looser today and limit my layers. Only 2 days to go!

Thanks for joining me!
