How to create a neighborhood gallery with page protectors

I had a lot of art shows canceled and I was really missing the sense of community. I spotted the hashtag #putartinyouryard and got an idea. I put plastic pockets on my fence with a piece of cardstock in each one stamped with the words "Your Art Here". I also made a sign inviting artists of all ages to pop a piece of art in a pocket.

Well, it didn't take long and my Burbank Neighborhood Gallery grew!

Artists came by and shared their art. If you have a way to display art in your yard I highly recommend it. It really has brightened everyone's day and we could all use a little more of that :)

There are photographs, paintings, drawings, quilting, collage, and dried flowers.

So cute!
I also registered the gallery for this Saturday's National Arts Drive.
To see lots more of the art and people that contributed pop on over to my instagram feed.

A "Novel" Defense Group art show of Face Mask art

I am so excited to share this NEW art show that I am a part of. Kate the curator of the Slow Down Gallery at Random Framing created this show titled A "Novel" Defense that is a group show of artistic and practical mask art.

There is quite the variety of art and I am so please to be a part of this group show.

Here are close-ups of two that I made that are created like my embroidered moving blocks art installation.

Here is a video that shows the face masks closer.

Stefanie Girard solo art show at Karizma Hair Studio

Art is not just for galleries anymore! I was invited to display my art in Karizma Hair Studio in Thousand Oaks, CA. The invitation came after I was telling the owner that we were invited by a building owner to use her lobby as a gallery. Here is another walk through video of the show that features mixed-media collage, embroidery and paintings.

Here are a few more still shots:
