Nesting :: Pittsburgh Art Opening featuring Jennifer Howison
Presented by: The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust
Wood Street Galleries
Tickets: FREE
Opening: Friday, March 5, 2010, 6-9pm
707 Penn Avenue
running until April 17, 2010
Original gouache paintings and drawings by Jennifer Howison. Jennifer’s meticulously handmade works are evocative and touch on themes of narrative and fantasy with a haunting, deliberately child-like aesthetic. Petite birds with women’s faces are trying to find their place in society. Ghosts are gathering and willingly head down a strange yet familiar path. Apparently sweet characters provoke unspoken dialog. Jennifer’s work explores the social and the anti-social aspects of human nature. She currently resides in Swissvale where she spends her time making crafts, dolls and fine art.

See Ya Later Snow :: Early Winter Recap :: Web Launch
By Carrie on February 27, 2010
how much would we have LOVED to move the SWEET market for VALENTINE’S DAY to another weekend in february? a ton. but a ton of snow got in the way. so, instead we got to work spreading the word about imi to new&returning partners in pittsburgh and will soon announce new handmade shopping opportunities.
in the meantime, check out this imi website… right? so nice. that’s thanks to illustrator, Elizabeth Keating and social media/craft/web expert Tara Gentile. many thanks to them for their time, inspiration and cooperation in the creation of this nifty new site.
hopefully the navigation will be easy for makers interested in becoming vendors and for our returning artists. and for shoppers looking to connect with handmade offerings across the region.
tell us what you think – the site is a work in progress and comments or suggestions for improved interactivity are welcome!
in the meantime – what are you up to while it’s kinda treacherous to go outside? here in the imi office, there are new handmade curtains and handbeaded pins.
