Have you ever wondered what amazingly creative things the artists on our team are working on outside of teaching informative and entertaining classes?? Well, you could come in and ask them! Here's just a taste of what some of our local artists have going on. They are always blowing us away!
Olivia Vozzella (you may know her as Olivia Dreyer--she is newly married!) just finalized her new short film: Gravidity. It sounds awesome just by the name, we know! The film is a horror story about a woman haunted by a recent miscarriage, and Olivia is submitting it to various big-name film festivals. You can check out the IMDb page here for more info: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10474336/
Heather Walano (who you may remember from an earlier puppy-related post) just won a contest to have her art permanently on display on the utility box right across the street from our Cranford ArteVino studio! COOL!!! Downtown Cranford says this is just the beginning of the town-wide effort to bring more art to the downtown community. We aren't the slightest bit surprised that Heather won. She's an incredible artist, and we owe many of our popular paintings to her creative mind. You may have one of hers already hanging in your living room.

Melissa Cicero is selling some of her work at a local street fair in Highland Park coming up in just a few days. Melissa is a brilliant cartoonist and illustrator with tons of beautiful prints available. Consider her if you need a book illustrated, a storyboard or various other personal commissions.

We are so proud of our local artists! Consider what your community or even your daily social life would look like if artists like these great women weren't constantly at work designing the world we experience around us! Oh, by the way, it feels GREAT to create art, so let one of our artists walk you through the process of painting at one of our studios (Don't worry! It's step-by-step, geared towards beginners and totally laid-back!) at one of our upcoming classes: https://cranford.artevinostudio.com/calendar/view-calendar
If you know someone that hasn't considered trying a paint and sip class, it's probably because they've never heard of it!! Tell them how fun it can be! We're confident that you (and they) won't regret it!
