Incognito 2014 - Memphis Botanic Gardens Fundraiser

Henrietta II by Judy Joy Nocifora Finds a Home!

 2014 INCOGNITO fundraiser for the Botanic Garden was a big success. A huge crowd enjoyed good food, music and wine while having fun trying to outbid others for that special piece of art you've just got to have.

A Breath of Spring... SOLD

"A Breath of Spring" by J Joy Nocifora ©2012  SOLD

10 x 10 oil on gallery wrap canvas

This painting, "A Breath of Spring" was my donation to The Memphis Botanic Garden's fundraiser, "INCOGNITO" January 20, 2012.  This was a fabulously fun evening with all participating artist dressed for the occasion... incognito!  No artist could sign their painting until the bidding stopped.  The theme was "buy what you love, not who you know."

I was thrilled to meet the lovely couple who bought my painting!  They were great supporters of this event by purchasing three paintings.  Over 80 artist participated and over 300 attended "Incognito."  All but two or three paintings sold and the walls were bare!  This fundraising event was such a success that it will be an annual event.  Bravo to all the artists, organizers and supporters!

A Hustling, Bustling September!

This has been a busy, challenging and very exciting several months preparing for our art show, "Memories and Mementos"... Two Painters Journeys. I know all my artist friends out there know how much work goes into getting ready for this kind of event. In addition to painting, there is the framing and wiring, invitations, marketing the event, hanging the show and preparing the appetizers. I was thankful to have a wonderful artist friend, Denise Rose to share in these preparations. We welcomed over 100 guests to our opening reception and it was so exciting to have the opportunity to share our works in oil.

If you were unable to join us for the opening reception, the show will be up through the month of September at the Memphis Botanic Gardens.

I am back now to the everyday painting, which I love, love, love, blogging and checking in with all my favorite artist friends. Yes, life is so good!
