The Trash Lamb brick-and-mortar in South Park, San Diego will be permanently closing in January. Please come pay your respects to the inaugural space while you still can! January 5th will be my final day open to the public ✨

Next year has some in-person, Trash Lamb-curated art shows already on the books and I’ll be adding to that once the dust settles after moving out. Get on our email list to keep in touch✨

Also, I’m begging you to shop small for the rest of your holiday gifts! I am not alone in my struggle and have commiserated with many of my small biz owner cohorts about having a tough time with sales this year. Show up for the underdogs, billionaires don’t need more of your money! ✨

Make art, look at art, keep going 🔥

F**k all the dishonest, delusionals out there who will lie, cheat, steal, deceive, and slander just to protect and enforce a self-centered fantasy 🔥

2024 has been full of deception, gaslighting, and manipulation in both a broad collective sense and sadly also in my personal life. Focusing on creative things has been the only true relief, I highly recommend it for your mental health. So yeah, ART 🔥

I’m honored to be part of this collage group show at that opens this Friday night. Please stop by if you’re in Los Angeles, I’ll be up there for the reception and would love to see some familiar faces ❤️

Picked some of my favorites in the show to post above, you can view the entire exhibition and/or purchase pieces online via ❤️

Couldn’t find all the artists on here to tag, so please mention the missing ones in the comments if you know them or are them ❤️

Hang in there everybody, we’re going to have to get even more creative to survive. Trash Lamb loves EWE ❤️🗑️🐑

Closing reception for the “Chimera” group show is tomorrow night (Saturday 10/19) from 7 to 10 pm 🐚

I have been feeling very down in the dumps lately and it’s been a real light in the dark to put together this show and having the honor of creating work to hang on the walls alongside these other talented ladies. Dream show 🐚

I love that no one saw each other’s work beforehand but we all had some similarities with our interpretations of the theme 🐚

CHIMERA -

“Any mythical animal with parts taken from various animals. A thing hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve. An organism containing a mixture of genetically different tissues formed by processes such as mutation. In Greek mythology a fire-breathing, female monster with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail.”

1. “Ghost Coral” -
2. “Barnacle Energy” - .jean.moulton
3. “Bad Luck Betty” -
4. “Fossilized Chimera Platter” -
5. “Dance of the Flowers with Teeth” -
6. “Waiting for a Stink Fight” -

Come pay your respects to our San Diego brick and mortar while you still can! We’ll be closing after the new year and morphing into a different version of Trash Lamb Gallery in 2025 🐚

Heads up! I'm trying to fit in as many events as possible over the last few months in the San Diego brick-and-mortar and decided to have a closing reception for the "Chimera" group show 🔥​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Please join us on Saturday, October 19th from 7 to 10 pm 🔥

Somehow this beautiful beast is still available...

Fire Breathing Chimera / 2024 / Michelle Shanahan (Long Beach, CA) / Multiple clays, glaze, luster, wire / 9 x 7.5 x 9 inches, 6.25 lbs 🔥

Please reach out via email if you'd like to come by to see the show in person! 🔥

Chimera: Any mythical animal with parts taken from various animals. A thing hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve. An organism containing a mixture of genetically different tissues formed by processes such as mutation. In Greek mythology a fire-breathing, female monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail 🔥

This ceramic masterpiece by Long Beach artist, Michelle Shanahan, speaks to the theme on more than one level, in her own words:

"For this show, I used your definitions and tried to push the boundaries of clay to the limit. I fired many clays together that don’t mix well, while some mature in the kiln at a higher temp, others melt and essentially become glaze. Cracks were formed and were then filled, bumps grew were shrinking clays buckled but didn’t break. I marbled mud into porcelain and I put gold on dirt. These amalgamations shouldn’t exist, but they do and they’re beautifully layered." 🔥
