Michelle Levine Featured in SOTT Magazine!


In my last conversation with Michelle, when talking about her recent project painting the Kupcake Factory, she commented to me that the more she paints signs, the more she identifies with their function in the community. I was thrilled to receive copies of this "Signs of the Times" magazine, a publication that is produced for Sign Industry professionals, to see her artwork become exposed to an industry that probably doesn't think about gallery hopping very often.

And isn't that the point? To recruit others into our artsy cult? Why do artists always think of mainstream publications to share their work, when there are so many different types of people who are passionate about the same things, sometimes not even realizing that the way they see their work is very similar to the way an artist sees their own.

Congrats Michelle! We love you!
