Prints for sale in my Etsy shop

I am reconfiguring my empty Etsy shop and adding prints for sale. It even has a new name too: ArtbySharonGiles — see it at https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtbySharonGiles.

Since I’ve been madly producing art for the last few years, this is great opportunity to show off the new additions to my portfolio as well as my golden oldies. I’ve accumulated quite a bit of cat-themed art, so I am starting off with that. Then florals, landscapes and abstracts. And maybe even producing art specifically for the Etsy shop.

I’m starting with 8.5×10 letter size prints, using my ink jet on archival matte paper – so whatever I print must fit this format. This also gives me the freedom to print details instead of whole images.

This is a detail of “Tabbies in the Garden”, which has been accepted into Irving Art Association’s 14th Annual Wildlife and Domestic Animal Juried Art Competition. It will be on display during September.

Free Basic Classes in Gelli Printing

I’ll be teaching a set of free basic classes in October for the Irving Art Association.

The Free Basics Classes follow a progressive sequence where you will learn basic skills via instructor demo/lecture — exercise —-practice. The series is designed for beginners to a particular art medium as well as mid career artists reviewing technique and not forcreating finished works. Expect traditional as well as new and nontraditional materials and approaches.

Enrollment is limited, so register early. For more details, see http://irvingartassociation.org/2015/08/free-basic-classes-in-gelli-printing-by-sharon-giles/
