Pictures from Three Graces Teeny Tiny Art Show #8

This past month I've had some new tiny works at Three Graces Gallery Teeny Tiny Art Show. Here are some pictures of my work at the gallery. I think it looks great!




You can still go check out the show through March 6th! All the work is also available to see and purchase online.
Thanks to my friend Erin Ellis for taking these pictures and sending them along to me!

January News Review

January has been a busy month! In addition to launching my great website redesign, I've been getting ready for the next Teeny Tiny Art Show at Three Graces Gallery! I made some new tiny paintings for the next show, including these butterfly "specimens:"



I've been very interested in drawing butterflies recently, and I have a project in the works involving them that I will be posting about soon, hopefully. In the meantime, you can check out all my work in the Teeny Tiny Art Show right here.

I'm also excited to be working with a few new stores carrying my work, including Assemble Gallery and Studio in Seattle, WA. They have been great to work with and I am really excited to have my prints and cards there! Check out their website or if you are in the area go check out the shop!

I'll be updating soon about some more new great stores and venues that I'm going to be working with.

Website Redesign!

Yesterday I launched the redesign of www.lauramccabe.com. I think it looks really great and will really help visitors to learn more about me and my work.

Please go and check it out! I added a few new pieces as well and I hope to be updating again with new work in the coming months.
Also, thanks so much to Kjell Reigstad for helping with the redesign and building the site!

Happy Holiday Season!

I have been very much getting into the holiday spirit these past few weeks. I love this time of year, figuring out and making gifts for everyone! I have been working on a couple of seasonal sorts of things I wanted to share.
First, I did this drawing that I am calling "Neighborhood Tree."

It is kind of my take on a christmas tree if it were decorated with the buildings from my neighborhood.

I also made some new ornaments this year. I was pretty happy with these day and night ones:

And then I did a new version of the tree ones, similar to the ones I made last year:

I think they came out pretty well.

As always, of course, these items are all available in my Etsy shop.

Governor's Island piece finished

I had my studio on Governor's Island until the beginning of October. I made good progress on this piece through that time, but I had to take it back home to finish it up. I finally got it done this past week.

The work was inspired by the historic yellow houses where my studio was housed. The island was a military base for a long time and families of officers lived in the house where I was working. I tried to let the environment of Governor's Island influence and inspire the imagery in my work there. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Here is a detail of the moths:

These photos may not completely do the work justice. I am going to get a high res scan of it done soon. But the piece is about three feet tall so it may take a while for that to happen. I just wanted to get the finished product up for people to see.
