painting into the night...
working on my solo at seattle's Roq La Rue, opening February 13th, 2009.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

for some fresh housecleaning & air-changing for 2009,
i've decided to move the journal!!

please update your links to :

{ STELLAIMHULTBERG.BLOGSPOT.COM }

+ lj feed (courtesy of [info]sapience) : [info]stellaimhultber
(please don't comment on the LJ feed, i won't be receiving them!)



sorry for the hassle & thank you for reading my measly posts & rants all these years.
hopefully over on the new blog, i'll be able to let a little looser and freely update
with more frequency and details (like painting processes & sketch snippets).

(my food blog will remain the same, but my old scrap blog is now here).

thank you,
xo stella

hello.
feels like it's been a while since i've blogged here.
i've been taking a long break from things after my last show in august,
and been slowly starting things upfor the remainder of the year and for next year's shows...
(i still update food and other things on my other blogs, sometimes.)

the new issue of Hi-Fructose magazine
is out now, including some spreads of images of my work and interview by annie owens.

Raveled opening & LA trip photos [Aug. 20th, 2008|12:39 pm]
opening
Raveled : solo show. August 8th, 2008.


my solo show Raveled at thinkspace gallery went smoothly and well,
alongside super talents dennis hayes IV and allison sommers in the back project room.
the trip was pleasant and mellow, despite having to drive most of the time.

i don't have proper pictures of the pieces,
but i've taken some from the gallery before the crowd, which are below...
i've uploaded them onto my website as well.

sorry for such a photo-heavy post below...


paintings + drawings )

(no subject) [Aug. 19th, 2008|11:10 am]
interview


hello!
andrew over at thinkspace gallery interviewed me a few days ago,
right after i returned from my solo show there, Raveled, from august 8th.

normally i am not fond of interviews, but since i email back and forth with
andrew often, i answered them with a bit of comfort and ease...
maybe too much? i didn't know it was going to be posted so fast,
and on other sites (i saw it on juxtapoz too),
so i apologize if it sounds too casual and scattered. oops.

the original version here on their blog if you're interested..
or under the cut below.
(thank you, andrew! <3)


the interview )

+ above photo is of the mural i did in the front entrance of the gallery for the show.
i didn't take many photos, but will post some from the show soon...

+ and huge thanks to everyone that came out to the show!! i really can't thank you all enough!! <3<3

messy progress [Jun. 17th, 2008|03:23 pm]
rough
{ some pieces in progress for my next show }


throwing paint, pushing it around...
feels good to be rough and loose.

summer days and bike riding make for a slooow progress,
but one bad spill last week is now forcing me to paint a little more.
(luckily fell on the left side so my painting arm is fine...)

ughh... maybe it feels even slower because i work on many pieces at a time.
i just don't know how not to.
