Children of Lir, by Lori Field    Photo courtesy of the artist and Claire Oliver Gallery

I was delighted to interview Lori Field for my latest West of Chelsea installment for the New York Times Local!

I talked with her about her new gallery in Chelsea (Claire Oliver), her background as a textile designer and illustrator, what inspires her creations, and her “Secret Drawer.”

Stop by and read for yourself how this New Jersey artist traversed the Hudson and wound up on the inside, looking out.

One of the original works I’ll have on sale!

I’ve been up to my eyeballs in resin these past few days getting ready for the booth I’ll be running at MaplewoodStock this weekend.

Doing the booth was a last-minute decision based on the wonderful turnout at my Open Studio last month. So, along with my usual repertoire (painting, Etsy storekeeping, blog writing, and interviewing art people for the New York Times Local), I’ve added jeweler and magnet-maker!

My goal was to have art that everyone can afford. The result of my labors is a range of goodies, from super-strong bubble magnets for $1 each, to a 40%-off sale on selected original artworks. And, of course, I’ll have tons of cute Art by the Inch Rings and Necklaces, too!

Here’s what you’ll find in my shop:

• Super-Strong Bubble Magnets
• Art by the Inch Rings and Necklaces
• Note-Card Sets
• Two-for-One Print Sale
• Posh Panel Prints
• Original Artworks at 40% off!

MaplewoodStock is a free arts and music festival that happens right here at Memorial Park in beautiful Maplewood, N.J. Among many other musicians playing this weekend will be Marshall Crenshaw and Jonathan Edwards. Come and enjoy this free event this Saturday, July 11, from noon to 10 p.m. and July 12 from noon to 8 p.m. And stop by my booth to say hi!
