tour du jour

My show "An Inner Voice" opened last night at ECC Safety-Kleen Gallery. A big thank you to all my friends, family, co-workers, ecc faculty & students, new faces & new friends made, for all coming out to support me. The women photographed here with me are my mother and grandmother. Both are some of the classiest, inspirational women I have ever met. I feel blessed be in this lineage of ladies. Sorry for the less than stellar documentation photos. My cyber shot just isn't doing its job anymore. I  keep saying I am going to be getting an awesome new camera soon, but I just haven't gone through with it yet. I need to do my research. And also opening TODAY... "Earth to Table" group show at West Chicago City Museum, up until May 25th.  I'll post more information concerning this show hopefully tomorrow.

An Inner Voice

There will be an Opening Reception for “An Inner Voice,” an exhibition of mixed-media

works on paper and canvas by artist, Katie Drum, Tuesday, April 16^th,

from 5:00m – 7:30pm, in Safety-Kleen Gallery One,

in The Arts Center, Building H.

“Queenie Head” depicts an extended reality portrayed as a mushrooming cloud.

Though the top of her head swells to a voluminous mass of golden-green

umbrage, she exemplifies the wisdom and experience of Mother Earth.

Adhering to the surface of the page, she supplants the

conventions and symbolism of her humanity.

Come see the exhibit and visit with students, faculty,

staff, and administration. Refreshments will

be served. The public is invited

The exhibit continues through May 18^th

... My ECC show is coming up VERY soon. I hope that if you're in the area, you can come see my work, some old, some new. I must say, every time I show my work in a new space, it is always a learning lesson. I owe a huge thanks to 

curator, Ed Krantz for his support (and patience) I'm honored to get to show in the beautiful Safety-Kleen space,

Happy April. Sadly, it is still cold. But lots of good things going on to warm the heart!  First of all, the farm store I manage reopened last week (yay!) After a marathon of prep work, I am really glad to be open again because it truly marks the beginning of Spring. Visit Heritage Prairie Farm to see all of its cuteness or if you just want to read  about the great happenings there.

I have two upcoming art shows this month...

Be sure to check out my upcoming solo show at ECC (Elgin Community College) Saftey-Kleen Gallery, April 16th-May 18th, 2013. A lovely mix of new and old works by yours truly.  More details coming soon...

Earth to Table group show at West Chicago City Museum, April 20th-May 25th, 2013.  Curated by Anni Holm. See my Endangered series along with many other talented artists.  Reception Saturday, May 18th.
