Bridgeview's Open House & MRAC Art Show

At this event there was a Mexican buffet, music and a chance to purchase custom greeting cards and works of art created by the talented artists of Bridgeview. Proceeds from art sold directly benefited the artists. Bridgeview is a Dropin Center for people with Serious and Persistant Mental Illness. MRAC (Metropolitan Regional Arts Council) awarded a grant to Bridgeview in 2014. The Grant Dollars funded seven guest artists, and much needed art supplies and other art projects.


The art show went well. It was very encouraging to me,  I am thankful  for the kind words and love and support and for everyone who came out! I felt like a loved excited little kid!!!!!

WILD NIGHTS

This is a functional piece that can be used to hold jewelry or keys or whatever your hearts desire!!! Unfortunately I didn't get a very good picture of it because I had it displayed on a easel because I wasn't allowed to put any nails in the wall at the time. Use your imagination!!!




I had great fun distressing the wood pieces in different ways. This was really a work in progress, never knowing where it would take me. I have never been that free before letting a piece just guide me. I am finding I really enjoy working with wood!
