Keep up with the latest art and adventures from Rene Shoemaker Art!

Published!


My artwork and studio have been featured in “The Compendium of Craft & Creativity”, published by the Uppercase Magazine, Alberta, Canada!

I will be participating in a night of readings at our local (well-loved) independent bookstore, Avid, on Saturday evening, July 23rd, 2016. Please join us! The event will be held at 6 - 7:30 pm at Avid, 489 Prince Avenue, Athens, Ga; phone # 706.352.2060.

The editor of the Uppercase Magazine, Janine Vangool, frequently puts out calls for subscriber participation. I entered an open call for artists to write about what they do and to share photos of their workspaces - and she chose me! I am so thrilled to be included in an international publication; it is a very nice book, well designed, with tons of inspiring stories and photos inside. There are 66 international "makers, crafters, and artisans" included in this collection. 

It would be wonderful to have you with me at Avid Saturday night, but if you can't make it, you can buy a copy of the book through my web store here for $35.00.

A Parapalooza celebrates "paragraphs worth spreading", and Avid will be doing just that! See the event on Facebook, or on the Avid website. The list of authors participating includes Derek AdamsJordan A RothackerRené ShoemakerDavid OatesJoan Curtis, Kate L Diehl, Suzanne Adams and Danny Bernstein, but I expect there will be over 20 authors there. Come see for yourself!
