ARTmonday: Art + Cocktails Truro (Paintings, Collage, Mixed Media)

Last weekend I held a pop-up art gallery event on the Cape. My husband hung 96 works of art on our very bare white walls. It was so much work, but it looked fantastic, and ultimately everyone had fun. We even sold some pieces.

We hung oil paintings, acrylic on board, ink and pastels on rice paper, collage, acrylic on canvas, encaustic, and others. Styles included graphic abstracts, abstracted landscapes, portraits, marine-inspired abstracts, and more. We also had a lot of photography, which I will post next Monday.

Here is a sampling of work we displayed from 18 different artists. You can check out some installation photos on my StyleCarrot and StyleCarrotCurates Instagram accounts, as well as some artist’s feeds; we used #artandcocktailstruro. If you’re interested in learning more about or purchasing any of these pieces, email me at stylecarrot@gmail.com

ARTmonday: Mammoth & Company

I almost forgot to post today! It’s finally gorgeous on the Cape, though I actually spent the day doing chores, and recovering from the too much food and drinks with friends from the days before. I was checking my email and saw that online gallery Mammoth & Company just started following me on Twitter. Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Mammoth& Company was founded and run by artist Troy Moth. The site features original artwork and limited-edition prints from emerging and established illustrators, painters, designers, and photographers. The selection isn’t huge, but everything is lovely. Here are my ten picks.
