There’s lots to see and some new artists to get to know. What better way to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend than with a LOT of interesting and beautiful and thought provoking and just plain fun art?!!. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613cda5e2958447fc4711b5f/c9b14e24-8270-4d89-956b-63ef6a95589c/220207-2643.jpg News & Musings - New Studio Space I’m happily settling into a new studio space at Greenleaf Art Center. This space is large enough for me to have great workspace AND a couple of good gallery walls. Moves offer opportunities to clear out some of the clutter that accumulates and open up to fresh ideas and approaches. As the months unfold, I’m predicting I’ll have some good stories about exploring new creative paths with canvas and paints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613cda5e2958447fc4711b5f/1632084314126-EPX6S5AD6AAJC7TYVV21/210823-2795.jpg News & Musings - Greenleaf Art Center - Fall 2021 Exhibit Artist Statement is the theme of this group exhibition at Greenleaf Art Center (1806 W. Greenleaf Avenue, Chicago, IL. 60626). The exhibit runs from October 29 - December 31, 2021. On Friday, October 29, nearly 400 visitors braved the blustery weather to visit the exhibit and also meet and chat with the Center’s artists in our studios. With more than sixty artists work on exhibit and nearly that many welcoming visitors to their studio spaces, there was “something for everyone” to enjoy. I had a a great time chatting with visitors and was delighted that five of my paintings found new homes that evening. October 29 - December 31, 2021 - Please contact me to schedule a visit to the exhibit and my studio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613cda5e2958447fc4711b5f/1632083927841-92EX3TKPVD83PQPFL7UH/IMG_2519.jpg News & Musings - The Box Show at August House Studio Who could turn down an invitation to to paint a box? Not me! In fact, I painted two for this show which runs from October 1st through November 13, 2021 at August House Studio (2113 W. Roscoe, Chicago, IL. 60618). Opening night was October 1st with more than 250 visitors that evening. Boxes are tricky. Think about it for a minute. There’s an outside and an inside. And each of these has six sides - four walls, a top and a bottom. There was way more to think about than I’d first imagined. https://www.todtappert.com/shows daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://www.todtappert.com/general-3 daily 0.75 2022-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg General 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg General 3 https://www.todtappert.com/galleries daily 1.0 2025-06-03 https://www.todtappert.com/galleries/landscapes monthly 0.5 2021-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613cda5e2958447fc4711b5f/49d580e6-0325-441a-8f00-8267f3c59774/230119-2133.jpg Galleries -
