The Artist Eye Magazine Filming and Interview

Tomorrow morning is another day of filming and interviews in Amy's Creative Corner!! This time, the talented people of a new magazine in Raleigh, The Artist Eye, will be interviewing me about my business and my artwork and will be filming me in action...painting! Super excited and a little bit nervous...

Meet the Artist Yappy Hour

I will be at Woof Gang Bakery tomorrow evening from 6-8 for a "Meet the Artist Yappy Hour." I have been displaying my paintings and taking commissioned work from this wonderful pet boutique since January '12.  I am so grateful that they are letting me set up and share my artwork with their great friends and customers. 

They will offer wine at this event and I'll be offering 10% off your custom painted pet portrait orders. So come on in, meet me and my artwork, drink some wine,  bring your furry friends, get some treats and have a relaxing and fun evening. I look forward to meeting you!

Woof Gang Bakery is located between Starbucks and Bonefish Grill at North Hills in North Raleigh.

Latest YouTube Video!

Thanks to Pegleg Media, I have my latest video on my YouTube Channel! I talk about how Amy's Creative Corner got started and what keeps me going. You get to see me twirl with Mya!! Haha.

Martha Stewart American Made Awards

I recently submitted my business to the Martha Stewart American Made Awards. They will be awarding a small business with a lovely $10,000 prize. I've never done anything like this before, so we shall see what happens. Good luck to all the American Made businesses!

International Sales: World Map

Since I've been creating artwork for people across the seas, I thought I'd hang up a visual of where my art is being shipped to. I purchased a world map and spray mounted it to a set up of cork boards. So far, I have three international thumb tacks: Taiwan, Afghanistan, and Australia. Woohoo!

The little pup below has just been shipped to Houston, Texas. That is 1,223 miles away!

Here is the YouTube video made by Pegleg Media describing my first international sale!

YouTube montage Samples of my Work

I have set up my Amy's Creative Corner's YouTube channel and added my first video. I used iMovie to create a little montage of still photos of my painted pet portraits and necklaces. This is the first of many to come and I'm really excited about it! I am in the process of working on a promotional video, where I'll show who I am, what I do, etc. I can't wait to work on it! I'll be working with Pegleg Media here in Raleigh. :)

Newest product in Amy's Creative Corner

Soooo I am really excited about the newest product in Amy's Creative Corner. After painting Mya's portrait, I printed out the image and cut out the background. Next, I spray mounted the front of the image to inside of the glass jar. She loves it! Well, maybe she just loves what is in it, but I am happy with this creation and I am anxious to see how the animal lovers out there will like it.  Find out more about the jar or place an order at my Etsy shop.
