Press Release - For my first solo art show

4/15/11

Mermaids and Miniatures, Oh My!

From Puffins to Peacocks, Grey Whales to Bunny tails, there is something for everyone in the current display of work by local artist Jennifer Larsen in the lobby of the Sylvia Beach Hotel.

Titled, "It's More Than Just Black & White", this mixed media show means just that. Larsen has created black and white paintings as well as full-spectrum of color undersea paintings. Ranging
from miniature pieces to large works, many of her canvases include vintage jewelry, freshwater pearls, fabric other "extras" to draw the eye and enhance the art. Also featured in the show are Larsen's well known needle felted characters as well as her stunning photography.

Larsen has been painting all her life, and has been writing and creating her own comic strip for the last 17 years. After moving to Newport from Seattle, she took up needle felting, and has sold her creations all over the world through her on-line shop. Also a repeat Nye Beach Banner artist, Jennifer looks forward to keeping busy with this years' endeavors.

The show can be seen in the Sylvia Beach Hotel lobby until May 19th.

Last time I was in Seattle, I had to either rely on a friend to take me around - or the bus. It'll be nice to be able to go where I want, when I want. I'm thinking about visiting some different places - maybe even venture up to Port Townsend for a day. Spend some time with my friends Michelle, Christy, and see my brother's family in Issaquah....and OBVIOUSLY go by the Buckaroo, since that was my home for four years! I'm in the process of "cleaning" my apartment - going through things - to prepare for a yard sale so I can raise money for the trip. I haven't given...

Unbelievable!!!

I thought that when someone points a camera at me and clicks the shutter, life is over as I know it. Well, that's only partly true. It's only over if they post the hideous photos online and everyone can see it. I don't usually EVER make a straight face if someone points a camera at me, and now I have proof that my tactics occasionally backfire on me. The picture in question looks as though the old me (from when I was about 19) got eaten by the me of today and the me of today can't make a straight face - but can definitely show off her massive neck muscles - because the old me gave the new me indigestion. Dammit. To those of you few people who are actually reading this, please don't EVER EVER EVER point a camera at me. I guarantee I'll make a face, and then i'll go through this whole cycle of self-loathing again. Please, as a favor to me. It's unbearable. At least wait until the me of today has digested the old me and is back to a weight that actually ...
