How to Frame Art Prints
Do you have trouble framing art prints? Do you delay purchasing art prints because you aren't sure how to frame them? Do you have art still rolled up in the tubes because getting them framed feels expensive and overwhelming? Well, then this blog is for you! As an artist and an art collector myself, I have probably framed close to one hundread pieces over the years. I can tell you....it can be....a pain in the ass! I've come across dozens of tedious issues in that time. But you know what? I have solved these issues!
2020 Paintings Still Available
This has been a heck of a year, hasn't it? It has been a tumulutous and anxitey riddled experience for just about everyone. We have had to change and adapt to so many new things and impliment different ways of staying connected in a pandemic landscape. I truly hope my readers are staying safe, sane, and supported. My heart and love is with you!
Answering Your Questions!
Recently I had sent out a survey to gauge interest in some projects I have been considering working on. Mostly what I was after was if there was any appetite for a Black Abbey Studios Patreon Community, and also a coffee table style art book featuring my work. I would love to thank you all that took the time to fill out the survey. I truly value your thoughts and want to provide the best expereinces and products possible!
Who wants a Postcard???!!!
Greetings, Friends!
I am pleased to announce the launch of project I have been working hard on the last few weeks. I wanted to kick off 2020 by offering some nice goodies as a thank you to everyone supporting my art journey. I have designed an exclusive 4x6 Black Abbey Studios postcard to give out to my friends! I have 50 of these babies just waiting to get stamped and sent out to anyone that may want one!

First Solo Art Show of 2020 and a Few Projects in the Works
Happy New Year, Dear Readers!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I am excited to announce a bit of news for the beginning of 2020. I'll be having my first solo art show of the year at The Falcon Bar in Thornton Park, Oralndo! The opening will be held on Saturday, March 28th, from 9pm to 11pm. I have worked with owner and curator, Melissa, at The Falcon for many years for various group art shows. This, however, will be my first time having the walls to myself. I am super excited and grateful for the opportunity!
End of Year Sale and Upcoming Price Adjustments
Hello, Friends!
I cannot believe how 2019 has just flown by! It seems like only a few weeks ago I was ringing in the New Year with my friends. Where has the time gone?
Fantasia Art Show at the LGBT+ Center Orlando
Greetings, Friends!
I have some big news to share with all of you. I am excited to announce that I have partnered with the LGBT+ Center Orlando to present my second ever solo art exhibit! I have chosen to name the show "Fantasia" as it is a medley of both the lighter and darker spectrum of my artwork. From dictionary.com:
fan·ta·sia:
noun
1. a musical composition with a free form and often an improvisatory style.
2. a musical composition based on several familiar tunes.
From Artist Block to My Favorite Painting
I have heard a lot of friends and fellow artists talking about and dealing with artist's block lately. I recently went through my own stint of artist block. It was rough, the roughest and longest spell of block I have experienced since I began painting back in 2012. I thought it might be helpful to share my experience here, and what helped me get out of my creative rut to create what is, to date, my personal favorite painting.
Wedding Day!
It has been a while since I have been able to carve out some time to add to the blog. But there have been a few good reasons for my absence! The end of 2018 was a complete whirlwind for me, with my first solo art opening, some major home renovations getting started, and....also....I got married! Though the wedding is not exactly art related, I thought I would share the experience with all of you because it truly was a magical and lovely day.
