Honest Work

This week.. I am crat­ing and send­ing off my new encaus­tic and ink paint­ings from my Hon­est Work series to the Water Street Gallery in Dou­glas Michi­gan for the May 5 open­ing, Rais­ing Eye­brows.  

Dur­ing April I have been work­ing on sev­eral new paint­ings for upcom­ing invi­ta­tional shows open­ing later this spring and sum­mer in Den­ver. Details on those shows soon.

I would like to share with you a col­umn from Art­Biz Insider, the online newslet­ter, writ­ten by Alyson B. Stan­field, owner of art biz coach, sent today.

Thanks Alyson! I do enjoy talk­ing about my work.

Art Biz Insider April 11, 2012 Inside My World ©2011 Patri­cia Aaron, Creme Puff. Encaus­tic and ink, 60 x 48 inches. I recently went gallery hop­ping on a Fri­day night with Stephanie, my 21-year-old cousin. We went to six gal­leries in dif­fer­ent parts of town in under two hours. (I can fly!) At the end of the night, I asked Stephanie which piece was her favorite. With­out hes­i­ta­tion, she said, “Prob­a­bly Creme Puff.” She also knew why she liked the paint­ing so much. She liked it because Pat Aaron, the artist, was there to talk with her about it. Stephanie had never heard of encaus­tic and was fas­ci­nated to learn some­thing new. It’s impor­tant for you to be with your art as much as you can while it’s on exhibit. You’re the per­son who can make a con­nec­tion for visitors.
