wordless: the nostalgia series

December 1, 2007

I'll miss you.

Venation...a slew of pictures.

We are so proud of our Umberdove here at Pretty, Please!  The show had a remarkable turn out, and I heard people saying as they entered, "this is the place with the good stuff."  Kelly worked her magic skills of people, uncovering a plethora of beautiful stories of how people related to her art.  An English teacher even asked her to borrow one of her write-ups to read in her class!!!  

If you were not able to make the show, or want to see them all close up, visit Kelly's album here.  Also remember that the show will be up all month, so if you do live in the area, we hope you can see it!

If you'd like to see my photos of the event, visit here:

Do you live in Seattle?

If so, Kelly and I cordially invite you to attend her art show in Pioneer Square one week from today.  Come drop by and see the amazing work Kelly's been doing the last few months.  One of the best things about this show is that there will be a lot of her small work featured, so you could very well walk home with one or two pieces of original oil paintings.

Here are the details:

 

Hope to see you there!

Equally goofy and poised, Kelly and Candace have shared a friendship and a passion for all things beautiful for 3 years.  Kelly moved from San Jose to Seattle in March 2007 and met Candace through a mutual friend.  The fates smiled upon them when Candace moved to Kelly's  block on Capitol Hill.  For a year and change, they cooked meals, gabbed over tea and cocktails, walked miles in the rain, and laughed loudly.  They have both recently relocated to the country just outside of Seattle, now living 20 minutes apart.

KELLY CLARK = UMBERDOVE

I am an artist who lives in leather boots and fedoras, compulsively collects fabric (and must touch every single bolt in the fabric store), sings aloud while painting, finds rocks in the pockets of every jacket I own, drinks coffee in the morning and wine at night, wears too much turquoise (wait, not possible), and breathes art every day.  I love smooth ocean stones that fit in the hand, tiny maple seeds waiting to helicopter down, the scent of jasmine and ripe tomatoes, the smallest details in a fiddle-head fern, the first sip of coffee in the morning and the last sip of wine in the evening.

CANDACE MORRIS = MME. BOOKLING
Ex- high school English teacher, former cubicle prisoner, newly realized artist, 31-year old starting over. Though introverted and introspective, I have been seen swimming the Puget Sound in my pajamas or channeling Pat Benetar on the dance floor.  My typical nights are filled with the BBC, vintage cocktails, long conversations with my saintly husband, gorging on classic novels, playing iPhone scrabble in bed, and falling asleep to the sound of delicious Seattle rain.  It is my dream to own my own bookstore or Chanel's 2008 fall line (maybe in that order?). I am campaigner for all things vintage and fine, as well as a wayfarer for self-care and psychological wellness.
