Hello!  I'm guessing that I've been so busy that I've forgotten to announce that I am going to be a part of the 2017 Sammamish Arts Fair which is being held on September 23rd & 24th 2017 (and yes, looking back through my posts, I see that I did indeed overlook posting about this).  A few pieces of fabric/fibers destined to become Re-FEM sculptures As you can imagine, I am busy creating art to show and sell, plus I'm trying to figure out how I want to display my art in the space I'll have.   The Sammamish Arts Fair will be open on both days from 10am to 5pm.  It is being held in the lovely space that is the Sammamish City Hall (801 228th Ave. SE, Sammamish, WA 98075).   Sammamish Arts Fair Promotional Card (That's my piece on the bottom-right) As in the past years, there will be a variety of fine artworks including sculpture, wall art, jewelry, and even some wearable art pieces.   It is an honor to be selected to partic...

My booth at the 2014 Sammamish Arts Fair I had SUCH a good time at the 2014 Sammamish Arts Fair last weekend!! I sold several paintings, a bunch of cards, and a ton of bookmarks - which is thrilling... but I had even more fun letting people play with silk painting.  The kids (of course) loved it, and so did the adults!!  It was so much fun!  I've had quite a few people ask me if I offer classes and I've been seriously considering it for a while.  Sadly, my home is not large enough for classes.   However, I would be happy to bring the supplies to a different location. If you're interested, please email me at beckwacht@gmail.com.  Thanks to all who stopped by!!

It's less than a week out - the 2014 Sammamish Arts Fair ! I'm so excited about this opportunity!!  I'm working on a new project of flower quads (a big flower broken into 4 quadrants which can hang together to make a big flower or separately as a single panel showing 1/4 of the flower).  I've finished 2 pieces and am working feverishly to finish the other 2 (or more).  I'm also hoping to get some holiday cards made, bookmarks, and a few other new paintings to show.  In the mean time, all of us artists have been busy creating our video selfies (omg I never thought I'd be doing that!) which are now posted on the Sammamish Arts Fair website and Youtube .  And we're all collaborating on an interactive percussion tube-set which will be hanging outside for everyone to play with during the fair.  It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun!!   I hope you stop by and see me!  I'll be inside the main hallway by the entrance to city hall and will...

My side of the booth I had a blast last night - thanks to all my friends and customers who stopped by my booth last night!! Last night was Sammamish Nights - which is a wine and food tasting event in Sammamish, Washington.  There were a variety of food and drink vendors there - plus artists from the Sammamish Art Fair were invited to attend and exhibit (including yours truly!). Some of the other artist booths Not only was there wine and food (which us lucky artists got to enjoy without cost!), but there was a fabulous band to listen to and after dark (and a lot of alcohol), many people got out on the floor and had a blast dancing. This event was a chance for the artists to show some of the work that will be seen at the Sammamish Art Fair in October (October 11th and 12th from 10am to 5pm).  It's going to be a lot of fun with a wide variety of gorgeous artwork!  Hope to see you there!!

My daughter getting ready to put the shot It's quite a week for me.  Just got back from the PNW Regional Junior Olympics held in Spokane where I got to watch my daughter throw in 3 different events.  So proud of my girl!  Sorry but I can't resist putting a picture of her in here!   LOVE YOU DAUGHTER!!!  Now that we're back, it's time for me to gear up for the various art functions I'm going to be a part of this summer and fall. A view from the ferry 1 This week, I will be in the Issaquah Artwalk (on July 11th, from 6-9pm) - so I'm busily finishing up a few more silk paintings to show.    I touched up the landscapes I did a while ago... now the mountains look more like I wanted them to.  Plus I mounted The Crocuses.  And I'm working on yet another 2 (or 3 or 4) silk paintings which I may or may not get done in time.  :) As if that's not enough fun, tomorrow is the first meeting for th...

And, I'm so pleased to be able to announce that I have been selected to participate in the 2014 Sammamish Art Fair (10am-5pm on Saturday the 11th of October and 10am-5pm on Sunday the 12th of October)    AND I am also going to be in the 2014 Sammamish Nights celebration (6-9:30pm on Saturday, August 9th)!  I'm honored and excited... and I hope to see you there as well! Both events  sound like they're going to be a lot of fun - and with some really great artists!
