You Are Loved in 2011
To the end of 2010……
We would like to thank each and every one of you for your unique support in creating and maintaining the You Are Loved Collective. Hard to believe this all started just over six months ago!!! We are most grateful for the opportunity to get to share our work with fellow artist and new communities.
Updates and things to come:
Caitlin McGinn – Musings: Abstract Landscape Paintings
Finishing up a long year of craft and find art fairs, art showings with Greenleaf Art Center and applying to grad school; Caitlin has been working hard to get ready for her solo show at Caffe Baci on Wacker Dr., opening January 7, 2011.
Pam Paggao – Carrot+Coriander
Settling into sunny Sedona, Pam has had much deserved time to truly focus on her art. C+C has been successful with purchases throughout North America and an art show this past month in Phoenix, AZ.
Katie Pichette – Efficient Design
Slowly striking a balance between making and working; Katie has also been volunteering with Mimi’s Organic Exchange for theRavenswood Art Walk and Vert Couture fashion show here in Chicago. KP will now be exploring the possibilities of reclaiming value at the construction level and looks forward to finishing some abandoned creations.
As we happily evolve – we welcome questions, suggestions, inspiration, collaboration and good energy.
We'd love to hear from you!
Peace and joy to all!
You Are Loved Collective
