Jeff Yeomans @ Artwalk 2008

May 15, 2008 – 3:20 pm

The Frame Maker was happy to see a crowd in Jeff Yeoman‘s booth at ArtWalk in Little Italy this year.

Jeff has been developing a beautiful, contemporary Impressionist approach to capturing southern California landscape moments, as well as a gentle touch with figures and children.

Jeff also gave a very honest and moving talk about his work, his process and his goals as an artist at last month’s inaugural Collector’s Club event, a local art happening founded by the San Diego Fine Art Society. More about Jeff and SDFAS in the next post.

Saint Victor at ArtWalk 2008

May 7, 2008 – 9:57 am

Another artist with powerful work at this year’s ArtWalk in Little Italy was Lynden Saint Victor of Santa Fe, New Mexico. His richly crafted original paintings have an irresistible pull, drawing the viewer in to their surreal, yet somehow familiar worlds.

The Frame Maker has had Saint Victor’s work in our shop before, but only one piece at a time. It was a pleasure to see an entire body of his work displayed together.

Featured in New York Arts magazine and American Artist Digest, Saint Victor’s online gallery, journals and most recent updates can be found at www.stvictordiaries.com.

Irina Negulescu at ArtWalk 2008

April 29, 2008 – 10:23 pm

Beautiful summer weather this past weekend framed this year’s ArtWalk
in Little Italy. There was a lot of great art work and The Frame Maker stopped to talk with a few of the over 300 different artists who exhibited this year.

Here are pictures of painter Irina Negulescu‘s booth. Irina had a couple of these pieces at the Artwalk media preview last Wednesday, but we forgot the camera, so if you didn’t make it down to Little Italy or don’t know Irina’s work, here you go.

We really appreciate the vibrancy of Irina’s color and brushwork, which manages to be both bold and delicate at the same time, especially in her lovely images of children.You can find out more about Irina and see more of her work on her website www.negulescu.com.

ArtWalk 2008 in Little Italy tomorrow and Sunday

April 26, 2008 – 3:49 am

We promise to get caught up on April events this weekend, but first, we just want to say how much we’re looking forward to ArtWalk this weekend in Little Italy. In reconnecting with our old neighborhood, The Frame Maker was invited to the media preview of 2008 ArtWalk at the
W Hotel Wednesday night.

It was great to see an enthusiastic reception for this year’s featured artists and meet some of this year’s sponsors. We especially liked Irina Negulescu’s new paintings displayed at the show, just finished and in search of title.

We forgot the camera this time, so you’ll just have to head down to Little Italy this weekend and see for yourself.

This April has been a busy month for us and the San Diego arts community we support.

“In addition to the familiar artists from years past, ArtWalk has juried in more than 80 newcomers this year. The caliber of the art, the variety of the work and the array of subject matter truly offers something for everyone. Mark your calendar and plan to come to Little Italy San Diego to see and enjoy the depth of creativity and talent of Southern California’s artists.

The culmination of a year-long upgrade to the ArtWalk web site is now live! The addition of a search feature to the artist section of the site helps event attendees find their favorite artists before and long after each of the ArtWalk events. Check it out and see how easy it is to find the art and artists you want to connect with. You can search by medium, name or event location.
