New Artwork!

Here in the studio, things have cranked into high speed as we prepare for our first show of the season, the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival in Fort Worth, Texas. There is always much to do before departing, but the first one of the year always seems extra busy as we are a little rusty on travel after spending the winter in the studio. But in addition to being out of practice, the to-do list is in fact longer for the first one. Besides creating the artwork, we have to check to make sure everything that it takes to build a mobile gallery is in place – things like business cards, sales receipts, rain gear AND documenting and adding all the new work to the website.

I get to cross a big one off my list as all the new Mile Marker pieces for the next couple of shows have been photographed and added to the website galleries! I invite you to take a look and let us know if you would like us to put your name on one of them. We are happy to bring them to you at a scheduled show or ship them right to you doorstep.

Here is a small sampling:

(the rest of the new pieces can be found here.)

New Gallery Partner

Growing

Shelly & Ben Cascio

As my studio practice continues to grow, I’m excited about new partnerships that we are forming to support that growth. One of the latest and most exciting is a new relationship with a longtime colleague, Shelly Cascio. Shelly, along with her husband Ben, have opened Kansas City’s brandonjacobs gallery in the Crossroads Arts District. They will have a selection of my work available all of the time and have already secured a nice large commission for the studio! Plus, I am looking forward to showing a new series of work with them in August!

If you are in Kansas City please stop by and meet Shelly and Ben and welcome them as the newest partners of the Dahlquist Studio family.

Here at Dahlquist Studio central, we are tickled to be traveling to Fort Worth to deliver another piece of artwork to the family of the most prominent art supporters/collectors in the city.

But, have you seen the size of our van? We still have plenty of room for the piece you have been waiting for. Take a look at what is currently available and let us know what we can bring to you while we are in town. (Can’t choose without seeing them in person? Let us know a couple of images that you would like to see and view them in your own home before you decide!)

Thanks, we look forward to seeing you soon! –  Chris

A pause

Reasons 3-11 for hosting a workshop

Wow! That was fun!

 

Sarah and I

Some really talented artists gathered in my studio this past weekend to learn the technique of Digital Fresco from Oklahoma City based artist Sarah Hearn. I was so happy to host them all, but a big shout out to the travelers – Phil Smith from Portland, Kina Crow from Pittsburgh, and Lisa Burge from Taos. I am honored that you trusted me and my vision enough to travel so far to spend the weekend playing and learning in my studio. And to my Kansas City friends: Chris, Kelly, Alison, Laura and Jose – I look forward to seeing you soon. And, of course, a big thank you to Sarah for generously sharing her knowledge and skill with us. I can’t think of a better group of artists and teacher to launch my new series of workshops with!
