Aileen's September 2016 Art Update

[aileen imperatrice]

September is hustling!

My artwork “Mistaken Identity” will be in the Dia de los Muertos exhibit at the Merced Multicultural Arts Center.  This exhibition was organized by Frank Delgado as a cultural exchange through Arte Americas.  The show begins October 1^st with a Reception on Saturday, October 29^th.  I’m planning to be in attendance.  The Merced Multicultural Arts Center is located at 645 West Main Street Merced, CA 95340 and is open Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm, Saturday 10am-2pm and Other hours by appointment.

 

I also have 3 pieces that will be in the Fine Arts Bldg. at The Big Fresno Fair running October 5-16, 2016.  Come see “Reasons Why”, “unnecessary definition” and “Into this house we’re born” all available for purchase.

                                                                        

ALL my art works are for SALE.

 

At the beginning of this month, September 3rd, I had a solo critique of my art in LA at my home gallery the Los Angeles Art Association/Gallery 825.  I received valuable and favorable feedback on several of my works which included my entire “human:nature” series, 3 from my “::selective memory::” series and 2 from my “incessant wallpaper” series.  Transporting all of these pieces and setting up at Gallery 825 was an adventure, and I appreciate everyone involved who made this run smoothly for me.  I was presented ideas for future promotion and exhibition.

 

I was also recently the subject of a commercial shoot done by Jeffrey Scott Agency/Advertising, both at my studio painting and on location at a doctor's office.  It was a commercial for Cal Viva Health. Being paid to play myself/an artist; not a bad gig!  I look forward to seeing the finished commercial on tv.  If anyone sees it, please let me know . . .

 

Next week, I will be a guest on the “Artists and Authors” show on www.centralvalleytalk.com on Thursday, Sept. 22^nd at 11am.  I will be interviewed about my art, exhibitions and I’ll be sharing some images of my work.

 

Meanwhile, I continue work on new art in my studio, and continuing my regular travels to LA for art business with galleries that already show my work and meeting other galleries that are interested.  I also continue as a member of an Artist Critique Group with fellow Los Angeles Art Association members meeting at various LA locations.  Sponsored by the LAAA/Gallery 825, we meet monthly to critique our work and plan for a future show at an LA Gallery where a professional art critic will review our work and our show will open to the public for a reception.  We recently stepped up our meetings to finish in December and will have our culmination exhibition/reception and critique at TAG Gallery at Bergamot Station in December.  You’ll see an invite for that coming later.

 

I also invite you to visit my Artist Member Page with the LAAA/Gallery 825 here:  http://gallery825.com/artists/i/imperatrice_a.html 

or you can see my art and find out what I’m doing through my website: www.aileenimperatrice.com 

as well as through regular postings on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/aileenri 

Most importantly, I continue my work to sell my art, (which helps me pay bills, purchase supplies and to be able to attend art events in LA).   

Please feel free to ask me about any of my work if you are interested.

And remember, I am always willing to work out payments with you.

 

Thanks for reading,
