 If you haven't yet visited the amazing Upper Westside Connection -- the metro area's newest and very impressive center for art, antiques and interior design -- you should definitely mark your calendar for Saturday, October 21. That's when UWSC will roll out the red carpet for its official Grand Opening in conjunction with an extravagant Halloween bash. Everyone is welcome to attend; you need not be a member of the trade to come join in the fun!

UWSC's showroom is already filling with all manner of Halloween treasures, from beautiful blown glass pumpkins to a life size devil peering down from his ceiling-high vantage point. The artists UWSC represents -- myself included -- and dealers will be offering guests all kinds of giveaways, promotionals and prizes.

Right now I'm putting the finishing touches on a collection of mini-originals which I'll be giving away to the first 100 people who stop by the gallery area to check out my art! Each mini is one of a kind, rendered in colors that are sure to make you feel happy!

With entertainment for the entire family, plenty of refreshments, and 25,000 square feet of designer furnishings, accent pieces, lighting, glassware, mirrors, pillows, hand painted furniture, artwork and gifts (UWSC has some of the most unique gift items you'll ever see!) be sure to allow plenty of time to see it all. It's a lot to take in, but I promise you will come away with your mind spinning with ideas for feathering your own nest!

My Work Is Now Available Through Atlanta's New Design Center!

Exciting News Department! My paintings and mixed media works, art jewelry and accent mirrors are now being sold through the Upper Westside Connection, Atlanta's new art, antique and design center!

This impressive 25,000 square foot facility is located at the corner of Collier Road and Defoor Hills Rd. in the city's unique Upper Westside area. You can't miss it: a brightly colored mural featuring the Atlanta skyline and a huge locomotive envelops the exterior facade. The latter is a nod to UWC's proximity to a soon-to-be-developed section of the Beltline, a former rail line now given over to outdoor recreation. Drawing thousands of runners, walkers, bicycle riders and other sun seekers as it revitalizes surrounding neighborhoods, this future section of the Beltline is directly adjacent to one side of UWC's building and is scheduled to be completed within the next three years

Fortunately you don't need to wait three years to shop UWC! Open to both the public as well as the trade, UWC is fast becoming an important resource for interior designers, home staging firms and the film industry. Inside you'll find a tremendous selection of furniture, lighting, works of art both original and reproduction, sculpture, mirrors, rugs and much more ... everything you need to create a stylish, comfortable home or office. With an emphasis on furnishings and accessories that are one of a kind artisanal creations, finding that special piece becomes a thrilling adventure at the Upper Westside Connection.

In future posts I'll introduce you to some of these amazing finds and the artists who create them. Meanwhile, considering treating yourself to a field trip. Come check out the UWC and see it for yourself. It's open seven days a week, and there's plenty of free parking. You will not be disappointed!
