Shift of Focus

Kate — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 20:07:24 +0000

We’ve been in Kansas City for nearly two months now. The Organic Art Factory itself is taking off in new directions. Most recently, we completed two commissioned paintings for the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago, and have begun work on a series of paintings entitled, The Air with Variations.

Teaching is going well at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Missouri – Kansas City.

We’ve also been writing a column as Lilika Ruby entitled Art & Sex for the online magazines, The Faster Times, and Ovi Magazine.

Stay tuned for details about an upcoming show…
