Similarly,artists from all over the county open up their studios for three weekends in October. As a result of so many artists residing in the county, the group is divided in half. One part participates on the first weekend of the month. The second part participates on the second weekend of the month. After that,any artist can open their studios for the third weekend called the encore weekend.

Open Studios 2021

In short,artists from all over the county open up their studios for three weekends in October. In addition there are so many artists that the county is divided in half. First,one part participates on the first weekend of the month. Next,the second part participates on the second weekend of the month. However,any artists can choose whether to  open their studios for the third weekend called the encore weekend. Furthermore,there is a free app to help people navigate all of the artists. You can find the location of other nearby studios. The app tells you how far away another studio is.

In the Beginning

In the beginning,Mexican inspired fabric collages drew me to begin my art career. I use fabric, details and found objects that I identify with the Mexican experience. Moreover,these art pieces  are mostly machine pieced  together. However,some embellishments require hand sewing.  Whimsical, unusual effects  are certainly fun to include.
