Oxford, Mississippi Artist Studio and Recent Work

 My mom and dad live in the beautiful town of Oxford, Mississippi.  Their home is a stones throw from the home of Pulitzer Prize winner, William Faulkner.  I must confess that my sister, brother and I did not appreciate growing up in this unique place until we had moved on to what we thought were greener pastures.

 My parents recently completed the construction of a beautiful studio in their Oxford backyard. If you have not figured it out yet, my mom, sister and I are all painters. We thought it would be fun to host an open studio for the public so we hung the art (thank you, Dad) turned on the music and lit the outdoor fire - you never know who may stop by! We loved meeting new friends and appreciate our lifelong friends that always come out to support us!!!  We were so excited to meet the new Director of the University of Mississippi Museum, Robert Saarnio.  He has recently landed in Oxford by the way of Hawaii. Thank you, Andi Bedsworth, for bringing him our way!  We really enjoyed catching up with old friends and neighbors.  Toyo Bruss called to say that she was bringing her new neighbor.  Her new neighbor was none other than artist Sheila Stott Gourlay!  LOVE her work and hope she hangs around Oxford a little longer!  You can view her work at the Soren Christensen Gallery in New Orleans. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and can't wait to host our next event!!!

Sarah Robertson Art for November 2012

I am catching my breath today after participating in two events this past weekend.  Friday I visited with my friends at The Farmhouse in Tupelo, MS. We were celebrating their Christmas Open House. The shop is beautiful. I know that Halloween has barely passed, but I found myself getting in the Christmas mood.  Check out the decorated shovels hanging at the entrance. Perfect for a farmhouse!!

I spent Saturday and Sunday at the St. George's Fine Art Show in Collierville, TN.  This is a highly anticipated show each year and I was honored to participate.  It was an added bonus that my mother and sister also showed their work!  So much fun!  

Next weekend I will travel to Oxford, Mississippi.  My mother, Lois Arrechea, my sister, Katherine Reed, and I will be hosting an open studio showing several of our latest pieces.  My mom and dad recently had a small cottage built in their backyard to use as her art studio.  I am so jealous!!!  It will be open to the public on Saturday, November 10.  We would love so see you if you happen to be in Oxford on November 10th!!  More info can be found at www.threesouthernartists.com.
