Anxious. 😬😁 5 days until load-in for my first art festival of the year. I always worry I'm going to be rusty and forget to pack something crucial. Plus... I'll be breaking in my brand new tent! We've already set it up once in the backyard, so should go great... as long as I pack all the parts!
A series of framed original mixed-media artwork. The collection is bright, colorful and whimsical with a distinct out space theme including rockets, spaceships, planets and moons, aliens, and so many constellations. Science fiction art lovers can find the Scrapscapes collection by Steph Joy Hogan at Art Birmingham next weekend (Mother's Day weekend) in Shain Park, downtown Birmingham, MI

BIG news! 🎉 Excited to share this new larger size at upcoming art festivals! I'll be looking for feedback to fine tune my offerings. If I keep these, I'll be phasing out one or two of my smaller sizes. ⁠

Should I...
1) Turn the HP novels wasting away on my studio floor into art and donate sales to Trans Lifeline or
2) Turn them into mulch because even it's for a good cause, no one would buy them?

SOLD! My friend Cindy told me at the reception there was a piece she loved, and I knew IMMEDIATELY which it was. These are Cindy's colors for sure! I love that my art gets to live with my artist pals! ⁠

What are your colors? New Scrapscapes are coming. Let's make sure one is perfect for YOU!

My art is very inspired by kids' imaginations and kid art. That I can inspire them back makes my heart explode with joy. 💖

Big thanks to Kathy who took her granddaughter to see my show at Nelson Gallery and sent me a photo of artwork she was inspired to create. Great job, young artist. I love it!

This one intrigues me. I love color and maximalism and things that are TOO MUCH. But this piece captivated me from day one. A very simple color palate, only one celestial body in the sky... actually quite subtle compared to every one of its Scrapscapes siblings. Yet, I can't take my eyes off it!⁠

Happy Caturday! Luna is the prettiest girl. A Lansing artist collective I belong to did a secret valentine gift exchange and I was thrilled by the chance to create a Pets in Space portrait of my friend Cindy's gorgeous gal! ⁠
