Working Girls Open House Scheduled December 2nd

We are gearing up for the Working Girls Studio and Gallery opening December 2nd, 2011. Eli decided to take on the other gallery across the hall from our original one, so now we are really set up for space for teaching classes, painting and for photo shoots. The sunlight pours in the windows and it's just all very exciting. This is the first time in 20 years that I've had a working studio outside of my house, so it's a big change.

When we began, we worked with David Cohen to create a logo for us - David had the idea of creating a silhouette of Eli and me by photographing us first and then he created the first sketches. Girls being girls, we weren't happy with our wardrobe, poses, etc., so I decided to shoot some more images and create the new silhouettes myself in Photoshop. Then we chose the colors we wanted in the logo,  gave it to friend and designer extraordinaire Sheri Lalumondier, and asked her to work her magic with the colors, figures and fonts. To tie it all together we decided to liven up the dark stairwell leading to our studios by painting the steps the same colors as our logo to entice people upstairs. Since we are truly "working girls" and can't always be around to have visitors, we will simply hang a sign at the bottom of the stairwell on the gate that says "open - come on up" or "closed but call us for an appointment", rather than having strict hours of operation. We do plan, however, to have open hours on Thursdays and Fridays on a regular basis.

Watercolor painter, Kathryn Phillips, will be sharing the paint studio with Eli - we look forward to working with other local artists as well to offer them a place to exhibit and sell their work,  create new work, and teach classes. Eli will be in charge of that part of the business, so you can contact her for more information on that.
I am excited to have a place to sell my work as well as have a downtown location to shoot in. To see samples of my print work, please go to my website. As always, I'm available for commissions.
