Fly'n Gypsy will be at Chicago Pagan Pride Fest!

This Saturday, August 14th come out to Mills Park and Pleasant Home in Oak Park to the Chicago Pagan Pride Fest! The event opens with a blessing at Noon and runs until about 5pm.

I will have a selection of my mythology and symbolism based works on display. See paintings, traditional lithographs, lino- and woodcuts, and relief etchings, and browse my mixed media works!

If you want a one of a kind portrait, visit my booth! I will be creating Spirit Portraits in color pastel or black and white charcoal for $25 each!

Bringing the kids? Stop by for a face painting ($3-$5), or full face Animal Totem painting ($10)!

I look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,

Jessica aka the Fly'n Gypsy

Welcome to the new blog

So this blog will be taking the place of the RSS feed on myspace that previously functioned as my primary blogspot.

Recent news! I am now writing an average of three articles a week on Chicago and suburban area art events... some of my recent postings include the Oak Park Arts District, Museum of Contemporary Photography, and The Prairie Arts Center of Schaumburg. To see my articles, visit my page at www.examiner.com/x-15510-Chicago_Fine_Art_Examiner.

Our current exhibit at the studio in Oak Park continues until August 16th. This month's exhibit, "Shaping Space" features the found frame paintings and ceramic sculptures of Eve Chulee Choowong-In and the hand-crafted blacksmith work in steel and other recycled metals of Will Slagel of Metal Meanders.

To see more of these artists work, visit the press release at: http://www.flyngypsyarts.com/doc/news/press-release/2009-07-17_shaping-space-open-studio.pdf

In addition, my work in costume, wands, and etched metal is on display. For an appointment to visit the studio, contact me, Jessica at artist@flyngypsyarts.com
