Purple cat for Bri now at Galleria Kakku. Pie's Art Walk Art after event.

Art Walk is over and being taken down today. It is so sad to see it go every year.
I wanted to write a quick note about what happens to my art.

You can still donate to Help Bri with her dream to become a teacher. The 100% donation piece and the poster with the link to her GoFundMe page are at the Galleria Kakku staircase behind the poster wall.

The other few pieces I had up for Art Walk are at my little shop at Small World Art Gallery & Mall alongside my Vio series.

Vio series by Pieni and opening of exhibit by Karma Weymann today 12pmSLT

I have owned Galleria Kakku for a while now and finally decided to get my act together and showcase some of my own art. I have had exhibits in Second Life before but quite sporadically. I do some art in real life, but not as much as I would like to.

Vio is a series of 22 images made by combining Second Life photography and materials such as watercolor papers on Gimp. I have also included a quote that inspired me.

While I was doing a blog post about the Small World Art Gallery, I decided to rent a little shop at their mall. My series is now also available there. This place is good for visibility, so I recommend it to any artist. They have events that bring a lot of people. And plenty of great art to inspire you. (adult sim)

Today Saturday June 11th, at 12pm SLT they have the opening of an exhibit by Karma Weymann, who has not showcased in Second Life before but has quite a following on Flickr. There is going to be a dj and she is promising that these are her best works for your viewing pleasure.

Suzume Zuki, Kayly Iali and Silas Merlin featured at Small World Art Gallery

Suzume Zuki recently joined Galleria Kakku and is now showcasing at a new gallery as well! She sent me the landmark and soon as I had a free moment I hopped over for a look. You may know her works from Art Walk, and her recent exhibit at Raglan Shire Tree Gallery. She has a gallery of her own by her store in Raglan Commons.

This new showcase of hers will not disappoint. I was glad to see such a sizable selection of her works.

Small World Art Gallery is owned and curated by Mikey Jefford. It had it's official opening on June 4th, 2016. There is plenty of space on land level and in the sky. You can find both 2D and 3D works of art.

The gallery has been already blogged by two big art bloggers Ziki Questi and Inara Pey, Questi being one of the featured artists herself.

I did find some other familiar names, too. Silas Merlin has a beautiful location for his art with a view out to the garden from one window and towards the sea from another. A new selection of his works always brings pleasant surprises. You can find both his sculptures and paintings here.

The industrial look of the gallery building really makes the earthy colors of the paintings by Kayly Iali pop. Plenty of light to show all the every day treasures she makes so inviting for us. She is constantly producing new works and I recommend you follow her real life blog to keep up to date.

Make sure to visit both the landlevel and the skybox galleries. And look around as some of the sculptures are on the grounds and around the public spaces.
