Sneak Peek...

Here's the first piece I made for the upcoming show at allrise gallery this friday in Chicago. I'm still putting the finishing touches on it but you get the idea. Check the article below this for all the show details. Hope to see you there!

Calling all Chicagoans!

Chicago art show Friday October 24th at allrise gallery. As a part of the gallery's ongoing Weekend Fling Exhibition Series this show features work by artists Heather Gabel (me! currently from nowhere in particular), Ed Trask (Richmond,VA), Damara the Destroyer (Chicago,IL) and Michael Pajon (Chicago, IL). The show will run from October 24th through October 26th and is located at 1370 W. Grand Ave. The opening is Friday October 24th from 7-10 pm. Gallery hours for Saturday and Sunday are 11-6 pm. For more info check the gallery's website www.allrisegallery.com or call 312 226 9292. This promises to be a really great show, the diversity of the work should make it a real treat. Ed does amazing oil paintings of land/cityscapes. Damara makes collages and drawings of beautiful fantastical situations, very unique stuff, and Micheal's piece is reminiscent of Henry Darger's fantasyland collages but with his own twist, incorporating nostalgic Americana imagery. And I'm very excited about the pieces I'm working on for the show. It's a new series, musing on ladies/natural selection and various phenomenons involving the two. I can't wait to see them finished side by side altogether at the show. All of us (the artists) are really excited to be showing our work together and will be present at the opening so please come and see what we've created for your viewing pleasure!
