CAN YOU SAY STUDIO SALE?

For those still having Jill Price Studios Gift Certificates, the sale price
of the work must be atleast double the price of the value of the
gift certificate!
Well if you haven't heard yet, my husband is frantically getting the basement ready for me to move my studio into the basement.  The walls are built, the lights are in and the first layer of plaster is on.  He is even being a doll and building me some built in shelves for all of the books and art mags I just can't seem to let go of.  My excitement is building to get into my new space and get busy, but there is something inside me telling me that there is no way there will be room to work if I move my studio from Lakeshore Mews into it.  Not only do I have enough tables to start a school, but my mixed media approach requires so much more storage than if I were just a painter or drawer.  Let's not even begin to mention the amount of work I have created in the last three years!  So here it is.  The only way I can forsee myself squeezing into my new space is if I part with a good chunk of my work.  Yep, you guessed it, A MASSIVE STUDIO SALE! Starting next Sunday, I will be in my studio packing things up and getting organized.  All works in the space will be 50% off. Hope to see you there!

Universe Looking After "Me" while I Can't

It's been an interesting few months for me, now working full-time and unable to work at my practice or at Gallery 111 as much as I would like.  But somehow, things have a way of happening that still let you know your efforts don't go unnoticed.  I just received notice last week that I have been nominated by Sarah Uffelmann for the Contributions to the Community Arts Award for the City of Barrie.  And while I was way up in Midland hosting the opening of a wonderful new show of Ila Kellerman's work at Quest Art, somehow, my work was featured on CTV as part of the Maclaren's Annual Art Auction; an event I was sad to miss.  Check out the video to see my work featured first on the clip, and then watch to listen to Siobhan Byrne, an emerging photographer we are trying to get to show at Gallery 111.  Barrie art auction 'Off the Hook' | CTV Barrie News

My Husband, the Hero Strikes Again

Well, my latest stage of my Tangled Realities is now hung at the Bartlett Gallery in Alton Mill, located in Alton, Ontario, just south of Orangeville.  Showing once again with the magnificent Magdolene Dykstra, I can't wait to see the install, as I had no hand in how things will be arranged in the space.  As usual, Lynda and Teresa had to deal with last minute hanging issues and are still begging me for photos, which I didn't have time to shoot as I was literally stitching til 4:00 am the morning before my loving husband kindly delivered the work Thursday morning after helping to organize a van and framing my work!  Good grief, what would I do without him. Please join all of us on Sunday afternoon from 1:00 til 4:00 pm to take in the new work and enjoy some refreshments while exploring the amazing environment of the mill itself.  To read more about the work visit my webpage. http://www.jillpricestudios.ca/#!tangled-realities/cua6
