An update: Most of my brand new paintings are hanging, throughout September, at Sixth Street Gallery in Vancouver Washington http://www.sixthstreetgallery.com/.

You May Say I'm A Dreamer (also very new) are both hanging at The Uncommon Gift in Camas Washington - on 4th avenue.

You can always view current locations, prices and status of paintings on my Price List get there from the website http://www.kmberggren.com/ - if a painting is not shown on the Price List, that means it is no longer available.

Also, don't be afraid to ask about Layaway Options - if a piece moves you, you should have it - that's the way I feel - and I'd like to help you to own it.

Sneak Peek at the New Studio - plus Free Cards Friday!

Welcome to the weekend!

The transition is complete, and here, I'd like to introduce you to my new studio in East Vancouver - the place where magic is bound to happen - a place where I can stretch my legs and my wings, stand back from my paintings, learn, experiment and grow.

I thank YOU for your support over the years, allowing me to believe in myself, to dream, to draw from your stories, emotions and positive influences.

I thank those who own paintings (and have given them as gifts) and prints and cards, those who have entrusted me with their emotions and their memories, Thank You.

Without YOU, this new place would not be..

For those of you that are local, I would LOVE to see you next Saturday and Sunday (the 11th and 12th) at English Estate Winery in Vancouver Washington where I'll be visiting for an Art & Wine fair (12-6 on Saturday and 12-3 on Sunday).

Last year at this show, the paintings went very quickly and the experience was completely fulfilling. I value the collectors I made last year at this time and I invite you to come and visit, drink some wine, view a myriad of local artists and vendors and get your hands on some 8x8 paintings (from the 85 8x8s for $85 collection) as well as prints and a supply of brand new card styles.

I hope to see you then!

Please feel free to call me with any questions: 360.261.0874 - this is a Kalama number, so it is long distance from Vancouver.

Remember, this is Free Cards Friday - so comment on this post and you are in the running!

Have a happy and safe Fourth Of July.

Love & Sincerely, Katie
