New Art Studio

Moving is always stressful and often challenging. I moved from a large home with a viewing room of hundreds of paintings to a small cottage with a separate art studio. Many paintings sold,but I have been a prolific artist and still have lots more. I filled most of the walls in the cottage with my art as well as the new art studio. And as always, welcome studio visits,art tours and encaustic students. The big sale is over and now it is time to get back to creating the perfect space for working and teaching.

big art sale

Up until a couple of weeks ago I had been planning to move back to the United States. I began to realize that seemed to be going backwards. Almost 19 years ago I came to San Miguel de Allende and began my new expansive life. 18 years ago, I started teaching the encaustic technique. I love sharing all I know and experienced in my artist's journey with people I would never have met with out the classes. But as I am in the twilight years of my life, I was not appreciating living in a big house with a big yard. Recently, I spent some time upstairs in my viewing room and realized there were paintings in the stacks that I had forgotten about and/or hadn't been publicly exhibited in years. I enjoyed revisiting these older works and happy that they stood up to time well. This week I found a garden cottage as my new home with a separate painting studio. It is sweet, small and just what I wanted. Now it is time to offer most of my older work at greatly reduced prices up to 50% off the retail prices. Come and go through the stacks. Pull out paintings that you would enjoy adding to your collection, or start your collection with art that you choose as you would choose a friend. . The official sale with be Sunday June 18 from 10 am to 2 pm; however I am happy to offer online sales before and make private viewing appointments at our convenience. http://www.ezshwan.com/gallery.html Note that there are more paintings here in the viewing room than on the website.
