On-Line Store...
Is now UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!  This is exciting news for Art By: Cat Free!  As we, myself and Jackson Presley @ Post Idol Media, work on the design and construction of my store, I am also working diligently to ensure that all the items I will have for sale are quality made (by me) and that I will have a variety of items to suit variegated tastes!  These are exciting times, for sure.  As a brand new entrepreneur (this past December), I realize just how much hard work, determination and focus it takes to work for myself.  This will be a different feat altogether but I am looking forward to the challenge!

Feature Artists...
I already have one Feature Artist lined up.  Jen Metcalfe of Jen's Bent:

...will be the resident Custom Framer on www.artbycatfree.com .  Her work in unfinished wood framing is unique, custom to fit each individual piece and looks awesome against nearly any motif. 

This site feature is designed to help other struggling artists find a way to sell some of the products they make and gain more exposure.  I think deriving a sense of community instead of competition out of joining forces, is the kind of entrepreneur that I want to be.  And because I am surrounded by so many talented people, I am blessed with being able to offer my customers a wide variety of interesting, one-of-a-kind items!

More News Soon, M'Loves!...

...I am ready to go for this year's Pride in the Park.  If you're going to join the festivities this year, come over to my table and say hello!  I will have an assortment of interesting items for sale as well, a book showcasing originals I have for private sale. 

In addition to the Artisans in the Park, the festival is showcasing local acts: outside the lines, Tea Thyme Drive, ROTFL and more and the headliner this year is none other than the wonderful, Jane Siberry. 

Hope Y'all Can Make It Out!!!!

Thunder Pride...
The organizing committee of Thunder Pride is made up of a wide spectrum of Thunder Bay residents, all coming together to support friends, family, colleagues and neighbours within our city and region. Among them are teachers and educational leaders, retailers, union leaders, ministers, artists and film makers, community service workers, financial planners, and several others from all walks of life.

Artisans In The Park...
Is a new addition to the Thunder pride event, Pride in the Park.  This year will be featuring a diverse group of local artists to showcase the talent our beautiful city has to offer.  I will be among this group of artists showcasing Pride and nature themed items: buttons, wooden magnets, hand-drawn stickers and art prints of original works I also have up for private sale.  Many of these works are on display in my art group on Facebook:

New Series...
Well my Pride themed series for Pride in the Park this year is well underway, though it has become quite the large undertaking.  I am happy to say that in addition to my new painting series that I will be showcasing, I will also be selling prints of 2 separate Pride themed drawings that are very close to my heart.  One was a gift for a loved one and the other was a drawing that was featured as a part of a gender issues discussion; both will translate well to both art print and to postcards/note cards.  Can't wait.  Join me that day to celebrate diversity and see what other artists have to offer.

Red Rock...
I will also be selling my wares at the Live from the Rock Folk Festival this August, however, I am unsure of duration (as far as my set up and being present is concerned).  I may be there for one day or all three...I'll keep that posted as it comes.
