I met Sadie through cyberspace when she posted one of my paintings of my daughter as "Sharazade Illuminated" on the WPW Blog. It came to her attention through the Art Renewal Center's Annual Competition in which we both had work. Since then I'm a regular visitor to Sadie's website and her personal blog which is filled with great information on all aspects of art.
"Sharazade Illuminated", 42x28
"Voice of the Tiger", 33x32
The gallery says "The artists chosen for this show are the ones that refuse to play it safe. Those who don't adhere to traditional painting standards and are creating truly unique works, including:

(I'm including links for the artists websites that I could find... my apologies in advance for the time you're going to spend browsing, cause there's some amazing work out there.)
And all because Sadie Valeri had an idea for a blog and made it happen.
There's more info about the show on the RLS blog. If you're in the Charleston area, stop by! It's sure to be an amazing show.
