Article in The Breeze & Muskego Chronicle

Southern Lakes Newspapers was kind enough to do an article on my artistic endeavors… the artistic approach, thought process, as well as the upcoming shows being facilitated.  If you live in Racine or Walworth Counties, look for a copy of The Breeze this week in gas stations and super markets.  It will also run in December with the Muskego Chronicle.

Dinner & Art Night at The Cruise

This Saturday – November 5th

5-9 pm

The Cruise Neighborhood Bar & Restaurant

28747 North Lake Drive, Waterford, WI 53185

My wife and I attended an art night at a Waterford (WI) restaurant last year, and were really drawn in by the charm of the concept.  It was a nice way to make a dinner date and an evening of an arts exhibit.  You show up, enjoy the art in their side gathering room, grab a table for dinner in the main room and enjoy the atmosphere, and then finally make one last stop in the art room to make a purchase on your way out.

I was pleased to be invited to participate in this annual art night for 2011.  Hope to see you out this Saturday!

Please bring a canned food item for Love Inc.
