fresh off the easel

Just finished this painting last week and I will be showing it next week in my solo show at the Finch Lane Gallery (The Art Barn) in Salt Lake City, along with many other new works. Also showing that night are the artists Al Denyer and Aurora Hughes Villa. The opening will be June 11, from 6-8 pm. The show will be up from June 11 to July 22 for anyone who cannot make it to the opening. Please come if you can! An announcement with more details for the gallery and show can be found below

such a BIG NAME!!!

I wonder if anyone out there has any advice for a recently married artist with a 3-syllable maiden name and a 2-syllable married name - hoping to just call herself by her first and new last name, but not wanting to confuse anyone by the sudden switch!? -- Oh gosh, am I that ridiculous that I think I have enough fans to confuse in the first place?? -- I was thinking I would just minimize my name on all blogs, websites, paintings, etc. to "Sunny's Art" - but after googling that phrase and finding a whole slew of hippie jewelry websites, and paintings of puppy dogs and daffodils, and flying fairies, and...well, the name just didn't seem so appealing anymore.

So, needless to say, I haven't gotten it all figured out just yet. And if you see my name written one way on my website, another on my blog, and yet another on my credit card, my checkbook, and my junkmail - I apologize for the confusion.
