March certainly is beginning to prove the adage "In like a Lion..." I have been blessed with an abundance of opportunities to show my work this month.
First of all I am the featured artist at the Topeka Art Guild for the month of March. I am very excited to be exhibiting a number of my Kansas Wildflowers. The Topeka Art Guild has arranged a member show at the Fairlawn Classic Bean for March and April. I have submitted work for this show as well. Then I have two of my figurative abstracts in their continuing "Art of the Abstract" show.
At The Collective Art Gallery, they are featuring all member and associates in "Out of the Box" and the show at Gorham City Hall in Western Kansas continues through April of this year and a number of my products are available at the Mulvane Art Museum Gift Shop.
There is a couple of show extensions, Flower Power 2 at SouthWind Gallery is extended through March 10th. And due to positive response of her customers, I was asked by Christine at Sun Resorts Tanning and Fitness to extend the Feminine Desert Series through her busy months of March and April. So if you haven't been in to see these shows please hurry in and let the staff know what you think!
All of the Topeka shows will be open for First Friday Art Walk on March 6th. Please let me know if you have been out to see any of these events. Feedback is so fun to hear and is important to me. Details below...
Not only do I have my paintings available, I continue to develop new products. One brand new product is my "Stroke of Genius" game. I have been using my new social media addiction to promote this new venture. I announced it just last Sunday and have had wonderful response to the game. I have a Facebook page dedicated to the game. Stroke of Genius if you are on Facebook please check it our and become a fan.
Facebook Pages can be seen without a Facebook account, but to interact you'll need an account Please log on and join me online and share with friends.
One last thing, I joined Etsy.com to sell my various handmade products. You can find me there at LeivanOriginals.etsy.com. There you can find my new Stemware Charms sporting my Kansas Wildflower Series paintings. You can find them locally at Ice & Olives at the Thunderbird Shopping Center and The Kitchen Gallery in Fairlawan Plaza.
I am Looking forward to seeing you online and in the galleries in 2009!
