Awesome News and a Couple of Commissions Ready to Go

Lots has happened since my last post. I have moved my studio to the Roswell Art Center West Location on Woodstock Road here in Roswell, Ga. I will now be apprenticing there and teaching classes and keep a working studio on the premises. Things are moving fast but its all good and I can not wait to be back on schedule again with my work and new responsibilities. 

Then, I am happy to report that I won "Best in Show" at the Gilmer Arts Juried Exhibition last week.

My piece "Quietly Blooming" Won and I was over the moon! The Opening was fun and chock full of  interesting people and good food. It was a magical night.

Now, I leave you with two commissioned pieces that I finished this month: "Harnessing Bird Energy II" and "Mermaid Figure Head". The Mermaid is going to go live in Japan.

It has been a productive month and I am exhausted.

"Small Favors" Show in Philly

  Well I will be back in my art school hometown of Philadelphia ( or my work will be anyways ) April 11- June 2, 2024 at the The Clay Studio.  This is a fun show where the work has to fit in a 4" square clear box that hangs on the wall. It's a fan favorite and will not let you down. Please come out for the opening April 11 from 5-8pm. I will have one of my porcelain wood fired hearts hanging on the wall for all to see.

I'm super excited and very grateful to be here.  Misspelt from my iPhone Nicole Merkens Art & Design www.nicolemerkens.com 404-667-3162 Insta:  @artgirl253 Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/nicolemerkensart
