Make Your Home Your Masterpiece


Hello All!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the start of the holiday season! This Saturday I will be participating in a group show at Hilltop at Falls Ridge. The show will showcase work by 9 different Philadelphia artists, and include some new pieces by yours truly. Come enjoy this opportunity to view local artwork in a place that feels just like home!

Saturday, December 14
Hilltop at Falls Ridge
4436 Riverview Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19129
Meet & Greet with the Artists, 1 - 4 pm
Cocktail Reception, 4 - 6 pm

Below is news about the show from curator, Greg Trout:

"The amazing community where I sell homes has allowed me a day to commandeer a home and fill it with nothing but the finest art that the East Falls/Manayunk region has to offer. Many local artists including myself will be filling a home for the day with art for you to enjoy and purchase. Here is more info:

East Falls, Philadelphia – An art show featuring work from local artists will be displayed at the Rittenhouse model home at the Hilltop at Falls Ridge community in downtown East Falls.

The show is called “Make Your Home Your Masterpiece,” which is meant to show prospective homebuyers how to decorate their home, as well as connect them to East Falls’ up-and-coming art scene and community. Artwork from ten local artists will be displayed in the Rittenhouse model home on December 14 starting at 1 p.m. The event is open to the public; however, reservations are required. Both the model home and artwork are available for purchase.

Organizing the event is Greg Ephemera Trout, a sales associate at Hilltop, as well as a local artist. He uses collage and assemblage techniques in his pieces, which can be seen at the show. The model will host paintings created in a variety of media, including geometric abstraction, pen and ink, acrylic, oil, charcoal, and graphite.

The exhibitors who are participating in “Make Your Home Your Masterpiece” are Katie Dillon Low, Lisa Renee Goldberg, Stephanie Santoro, Kerry Wujcik, Jed Williams, Jodi Cachia, Jeremy Eric Tenenbaum, and Erin O’Brien.

Hilltop at Falls Ridge is one of four communities offered by Fort Washington-based Westrum Development Corporation. This is the company’s first art show in a model home, which we hope will attract potential homebuyers to East Falls’ diverse arts and culture scene, says Wendi Subers, the company’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

The art show Meet and Greet and model home tour will take place on Saturday, December 14 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Afterward, a Cocktail Hour with food and refreshments will be served from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free. To reserve your spot, call the Hilltop sales office at (215) 844-8888."

Final Rehearsal Day

Today was our final rehearsal before heading to Rock Hard Festival.  It's been a fun week getting back in touch with the songs, getting to know the new crew, and in general getting back into tour mode. Grandma has gotten a face-lift and I've been performing minor surgery to get her new look just right. I can't wait to hit the stage!

In other news, I was chatting yesterday with a potential client looking for a logo design. His band was on the same label as Hal Patino's band Maryann Cotton, his band's manager is in Single Bullet Theory, who toured with King Diamond years back, and his wife is from Germany - he's even been to the exact town we are rehearsing in to visit a relative who lives here. It was just crazy to discover so many 2-degrees-of-seperation between us. The world is a small place!

Running with the Swans

I spent a lot of time on my computer today running through the set. I did take a break to get outside for a run tho and was lucky enough to find a nice path nearby.  I couldn't follow it too far cause one too many turns and I'd wind up lost, but I was on it long enough to encounter a pretty lake area with a swan swimming in it. Ironically, the last time I went running in Europe, last year in Sweden, I also saw a swan - I'm hoping this is some sort of trend! Also behind me when I took this picture were about half a dozen rather large rabbits scurrying about.  Not a bad day. Of course, when I got back to rehearsals and mentioned where I'd been, Chris, our monitor engineer, turned to me with wide eyes, "There's a park nearby?! You RUN?!! I don't know which I'm more surprised by."

Take off time!

Today begins a new journey. The past 4 months have been some of the busiest I can remember.  I've been dealing with a kitchen rehab, preparing to leave a job after 15+ years, trying my hand at sculpting and learning the process of plaster casting, working on mixed media pieces for an art show/fundraiser for PAWS, and gearing up for the summer 2013 King Diamond tour. I'm pretty beat and my house is a mess, but it's all eyes forward today as I await my flight to Frankfurt. My phone will be shut off for 3 months, but I will be reachable by email, AIM, Viber, WhatsApp, and of course you can follow my blog to keep tabs on me :) So long Philly, see you in August!
