Exciting new chapter: a new studio space!
Permalink
I found a new space for my art studio, and it’s time to celebrate…
INVITATION TO OPEN STUDIO
Thursday, May 17, 2012
2:00 PM to 8:00 PM
ADDRESS:
Claire Desjardins, Fine Artist (art studio)
Complexe du canal Lachine
4710, rue Saint-Ambroise, suite 252
Montreal, QC H4C 2C7
I’m almost moved into my studio space… The goal is to be (almost) all unpacked by Thursday afternoon, for Open Studio Night… ! I’m close. It looks very tidy and clean in this space still. I think it won’t be properly moved into, until there’s paint on the floor. To this end, I went out and bought floor covering, so that I don’t have to refinish the beautiful hardwood floors. It’s really a shame to cover them up, but certainly so much easier this way, later on. I’ve also ordered a sign to be placed on my door. It will then feel more official.

Brilliant begonias: one of the first things in my new art studio!
Open studio afternoon / evening is a nice way to open shop. I hope you will all pop in and say hello!
Ebb and Flow: my solo show

Muse Gallery has been representing me for a few months, now. So far, so good: they have sold a few of my paintings, already, and I am happy. I am getting ready to unveil some new pieces of my work at my upcoming solo show, which will run from February 2nd to the 23rd, 2012, in the gallery. The vernissage will be on February 3rd, from 6 to 9 PM.

I have worked hard to produce a qualitative body of work for this upcoming show, and look forward to celebrating the opening with friends and family, on the 3rd.

My “SOLD!” Gallery

I love it when people like my artwork enough to open their wallets. Sure, there’s the obvious financial compensation, but there’s something else. Something more. There’s a sense that someone is willing to part with a little piece of their pie, in order to enjoy something I created. I mean, we have to eat and pay our rent, yes. But there’s that piece of satisfaction that comes from the ultimate compliment, when an art observer turns into an art buyer. There’s the thrill of the sale, and the flattery that goes with someone buying something you made, from your own ideas, yourself. In this spirit, I created a photo gallery on my Facebook fan page, and called it “SOLD!“. It is, by far, the most widely viewed photo gallery on my fan page, and so I thought I’d share it here, too.
Here are some recent additions to my “SOLD!” Gallery:
Rome in a Day – Acrylics on masonite board – 47.5″x47.5″
