Today is the closing of Gina Matarazzo’s solo exhibition, Fur-Footed Fantasies: What lies in the dreams of our wee animal friends? In my meadow, where the creatures take good care of each other and their corner of the world, there is frivolity, celebration and a closeness with nature that we have long since forgotten.

Thank you Gina Matarazzo | Artist for having your collection on our walls this month! 🤍🤍🤍

Here are a few incredible pieces that are available. Nucleus Portland is open from 12–6PM, hope to see you in :)

Lizbeth is getting excited for her friend’s debutante ball this evening, where there will be fine cheeses, parlor games, dancing, and sparkling conversation. She has been cooped up for weeks with her studies on Egyptology and the Renaissance, writing papers, assisting in the museum and working in the library, so she looks forward to enjoying a fun night out, despite the fact that Harold L. Shrimfiffle may be there. Although...she kind of secretly hopes he will be there. Don’t tell him!

Don’t miss the final week of Gina Matarazzo | Artist’s solo exhibition ‘Fur-Footed’ Fantasies. *Ends on October 25th.

Parker loves hopping from flower to flower in the afternoon when sunlight skips across the garden…finding where the glimmers fall, and flitting between them as though dodging cracks on a sidewalk path.
