  • Artsy Around the Web: Guest Curating at OAC Gallery!

    Hey ya’ll!  I know I normally don’t post on Saturdays, but I wanted to pop in and share a little exciting news.  I’m the newest Guest Curator over at OAC Gallery!  OAC is an online curated gallery featuring original, affordable artwork and they invited me to share my favorites from the gallery as a Guest Curator.

    Come on over to OAC and take a peek at my collection ( you’ll recognize a few of the artists! ) and read my thoughts on collecting original art.  And while you’re there peruse the gallery to see work by their other amazing artists.  So much good stuff, all in one spot!

    Guest Foraging for UGallery: Curated Persona: The Hippie Chick Next Door

    Part of what originally drew us to take a work contract for Mr. Forager in Joshua Tree was the artsy, hippie-ish community here.  We got a hint of it while looking at JT online and decided that if we’re gonna live in the desert for six months, living in a uniquely inspiring and art loving community was the way to go!  So for this month’s Curated Persona series for UGallery, I’ve put together a collection of artwork inspired by Joshua Tree and The Hippie Chick Next Door.  Check it out here!

    Doing a little Guest Foraging over on the UGallery blog today!  For this month’s installment in my series for UGallery, Curated Persona, I’ve put together a little collection of art for The GlobeTrotter.  Methinks I might be feeling a bit of wanderlust myself!  Mr. Forager & I are both itching to hit the road on to our next adventure!  Check out the post over on UGallery’s blog here!

  • Guest Foraging for Image South: How Versatile Artwork Transforms Any Space

    Hiya Artsies!  Oh boy, so many exciting things happening ’round these parts!  Feel like I’m all over the place in the best sort of way.  This week, I have a guest post up over on the Image South blog.  If you’re not familiar with Image South, they are a publisher of fine art prints offering beautiful work at affordable prices.  For my guest post, I took one IS print, Essential Line #4 by Mitra Ghaffari, carefully chose versatile Larson Juhl framing and then showcased it in three very different spaces.  Head over to the Image South blog to check it out!

  • Guest Foraging: New Monthly Feature on UGallery’s Blog!

    Good afternoon, Artsies!  I’m happy to announce that beginning today, I’ll be writing a monthly feature for the UGallery blog!  UGallery is an online gallery featuring affordable & accessible original artwork.  I’ve been pinning to UGallery’s group Pinterest board, Artful Rooms, for a few months now and  you may remember Kurt Yalcin, Community Manager for UGallery, popped in to do a little Guest Foraging for me while I was on vacation earlier this month.  We’ve been enjoying our collaborations so much that Kurt offered me a regular feature on the UGallery blog!

    Curated Persona will run once a month and with each new post, I’ll introduce you to a new “personality” and curate a collection of work from UGallery’s fabulous stable of artists especially tailored to that persona.  Head over the the UGallery blog to check out the first installment of Curated Personas: The Romantic Sophisticate!

  • Guest Foraging: Artsy Forager on curate 1k!

    Like most art lovers, I’m a collector on a budget.  Not quite a “ramen noodles every night” budget, but I would gladly eat peanut butter sandwiches all the time if it meant owning work by my favorite artists.   So when Norah Guignon of curate 1k asked me to guest curate for her this week, I jumped at the chance!  Each week on her blog, Norah or her guest curator rounds up a collection of artwork that together totals less than $1,000.  Seriously affordable, accessible and beautiful work!  For my week, I curated a little “Sand & Sea” collection, as hubby and I have been landlocked here in Idaho for almost 9 months and are seriously missing being on the Coast.

    Here’s a little taste, but be sure to head over to curate 1k to see it all!  Each day a new piece debuts, so make sure you check back for the rest of the week!
