Happy Holidays

Indie Garage Sale

If you are in the area, I better see you there!! I will have lots of new stuff!!

Better late than never.

Hello! some photos of my show with the Moho Collective last month.



Thanks again to The Moho Collective and Nail Creek Pub & Brewery for an awesome time and for letting me draw and display my artwork all night. Check them out if you get a chance :)

Here are some new earrings! My etsy account has been updated and will be updated regularly for the holiday season.





I have been using a lot of patterns passed down to me from my family, one great thing about having a big ol' crafty family. I use the patterns for inspiration and change them to fit the pieces I would like to create. These earrings come from afghan patterns, coaster patterns, etc.

Some holiday pieces will be posted soon, get ready! Please check out the mini-Etsy feed on the side of my blog for regular updates.

Here is a business card I recently designed for a friend. I made a couple versions, she likes the orange/red best, which suits her personality. Needs some tweeks but I can't wait to have these printed!



On the show scene, you can find me on November 27 at the Building 41 Gallery in Sherill, NY and at the Indie Garage Sale on December 18th and 19th at 117 Genesee Street in Utica, NY. More info to follow!

AAAAANnnnnnnnDDDDDD I would tell you about my Christmas card but it is super-top-secret. :P

Love,
Sorrento.

Where I've been.

The last month has been crazy! A new job, some shows, and getting ideas flowing and work done on top of it all. Here is a sketch I am working out for a painting, possibly a fall/halloween mailer.



And since we're in the fall spirit, a little thing I wipped up with some friends a few nights ago (my dad really likes this):


Here are some photos from the fantastic weekend I had at the Utica Music and Arts Festival. We really got some nice weather, and I met some awesome artists and musicians over the course of the weekend.






Here are some photos from my opening Saturday for "The Arrival of Night" at Building 41. I found an amazing frame for one of my older pieces, Ghosts, and I am so happy with the way it compliments the piece.





Finally, a heads up to anyone in the area, The Moho Collective, a Rochester-based band who I met at the UMAF, will be returning to Utica for a show this Saturday at Nail Creek Pub on Varick Street. I will also be displaying some of my artwork and maybe doing some on site drawing/painting!

Hope to see you there!

Love,
-Maria

"The Arrival of Night"

I will be exhibiting some of my "eerier" pieces at the Building 41 Gallery with several artists for the month of October. The show is called "The Arrival of Night," and the opening will include costumes, music, food, drink, hauntings, and of course art! I will also be selling prints, jewelry, hats, bags, etc. Please come down if you are in the area from 6pm-10pm tomorrow night! Love to see you!

I must apologize for the lack of updates, I know my illustration partners in crime are probably wondering where I've disappeared to! Don't worry, lots of stuff to post, and it will come soon!

Utica Music and Arts Festival/Greens Festival

Hello! Long time no blog... lost my camera charger and I have been very, very busy! Not a bad thing at all!

Just a heads up for all of you, I will be vending at the Utica Greens Festival, part of the annual city-wide Utica Music and Arts Festival. I will be selling some original artwork, prints, hats, jewelry, bags, etc. Here is a small sampling:







If you're in the area, come down to the Brewery District (Varick Street) between 12-6! See you there!
LOVE,
Me
