Upcoming events, and a new website launched!

Hello everyone!  I'm pleased to announce that my website, http://www.dennisbomalley.com, has just received a major makeover!  I hope you have a chance to surf on over and check it out, there are new galleries of my past and current work, and some of my most recent pieces are now up as well.  Very shortly we'll have the ability for you to be able to purchase the prints directly on the website if you'd like, and we'll be maintaining this page here chiefly as a way to update you on current and upcoming events and shows.

Speaking of which: the next show I'm going to be a part of will be on August 13th and 14th, and it will be the Art Fair at Gethsemane Gardens.  For more information on this, click here: http://www.gethsemanegardens.com/Events_Calender_s/96.htm

Have a wonderful summer and hope to see you out and about.

"Artist Finds A New Muse"

Wilmette Life did a nice article on printmaking and on my work this week.  Click the link for the full article.

Though he shies away from the term "artist," that's exactly what Wilmette resident Dennis O'Malley is.   O'Malley, 72, retired six years ago from a computer equipment sales job and fills his free time by practicing a centuries-old printmaking technique called aquatint.
