You know how it is when you focus on accomplishing something big? You have a lot of balls in the air and want to keep them all spinning. Well, this week is one of those weeks for me. It's the culmination of months of work. This past Saturday night, I hosted my SOMA Artists Studio Tour Preview pARTy, which was spooktackular! The art was on display, the band rocked the house with eight new songs, the costumes were poppin', and the cocktails had 'em droppin'!

 
 

Tonight is the opening reception of "Unveiled," a curated show of more than 50 artists participating in this year's Studio Tour. Meet the artists and see a sampling of their work to help you decide whose studios you'd like to visit on Saturday and Sunday. I hope to see you there.

 
 

Then, the big finale is the 20th Anniversary SOMA Artists Studio Tour. I'll be hosting the incredibly talented and super fun Sandra Charlap at my studio. Visit us both and see our new work, buy a painting to expand or start your collection, or pick up a special gift for someone. We'll have a drink, a nosh, and enjoy catching up with you. There will be five additional artists to visit on Warren Court: Sybil Archibald, Jay Pingree, Wendy Bellerman, Christopher Boudewyns, and Fred Courts. So make sure to put Warren Court on your "must-stop" list!

 

We were a band of circus performers and we entertained the crowd at the pARTy. Stuart Klinger (the lion, on guitar) I (the ringmaster) played rhythm guitar and sang, Glenn Healy (the strongman) on drums, and Phil Cohen (the clown) on bass. We rocked!

 

Come spend some time with me in the studio. Click the button below and make a date with me! I'll show you the new collections, heck, I'll show you all the collections! You can get a special private behind-the-scenes look, and I'll play and sing you a song. I'm looking forward to getting together.

See you real soon.
Love,
Leslie

Start the 20th Annual SOMA Artist Studio Tour at Wild Cherry Art!

See Leslie's new work alongside visiting artist, the fantastic Sandra Charlap at 36 Warren Court. Start with a drink, a nosh, great conversation, and lotsa fun. Buy some art to start or grow your collection. Then, see the six other artists showing on the same block! You can visit more than 90 artists as they open their doors and share their unique brand of creativity and art during this beloved community event. Talk to artists in their studios, view beautiful works of art, and gain a unique and personal view of the life of an artist.

I’m so looking forward to seeing you. Life comes with so many ups and downs. Let’s choose to be up and celebrate these events together. I’m grateful for our connections and I want to share a little sunshine or maybe even a bowlful of cherries with you.

See you real soon,
Leslie
