Kim McCarthy was born and raised in Washington State. Growing up in the sticks and later living in the city, she developed a taste for urban street art such as wheat pasted posters and flyers, stickers, stencils, murals and spray painted graffiti. Meeting new friends and seeing many bands, the "underground" and "outsider" art became part of her life. Having her first solo art show at the age of sixteen gave a new meaning to being an artist, selling almost all her paintings, she realized the potential in becoming a professional artist. Using mainly spray paint, stencils and ink as mediums she would create images on almost any paintable surface she could find. Later, learning how to silkscreen her stencils she started making and selling clothing online and at street fairs. She moved to the Oregon coast about six years ago and since, Kim has had some great creative forces working with her. She has had numerous solo and group exhibits throughout Washington and Oregon. Using the same mediums, having a short attention span, plenty of ideas and learning new techniques, she has created many products such as clothing, housewares, paintings, prints, sculptures and toys.
Kim writes Art Gallery reviews for the Astoria Review Magazine, which covers Art and Events around the Pacific Northwest.

A few weeks ago, Chuck Palahniuk was at the Central Library in Philadelphia, PA, reading from his new novel, Rant. I'm just finishing up the book; I don't want to give anything away, but I'd definitely recommend it.
Khaled Hosseini was at the Central Library in Philadelphia, PA yesterday, reading from his new novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns.

This is a show by Anna Cherniahivsky that I saw at AS220 in Providence, RI and I, just now – writing this – heard the curvy wooden sound from the artist herself. She’s drawing on nesting dolls. Unscrewing the tops of bodies from the below part.
They were on Sesame Street when I was a kid…and they were ANIMATED!!! Nesting dolls. I was o b se ss ed.
You know what I’m saying. The dolls within the dolls. Think about it animated….
ANIMATED FOR CHRISSSAKE!!!!!
Anyhoo. There should be some pictures of the show with this writing. I hope so.
Those pictures show a smidge of the great time that was had. There were some bands playing. I was thinking there would be people – LOTS OF THEM – but it decided to snow. It’s one particular band’s fault, in my humble opinion. Just because of bad luck. That’s all.
There were masks made and worn and loved.
There was music.
Snow.
Art.
Brilliance, in my opinion.
There shall be more to come.
Anna’s work. Look at the picutures and imagine these images in New England. That’s what it was. With snow and music. For more information about Anna, check out our other site: http://mandisinterviews.blogspot.com/2007/05/anna-cherniahivsky.html and Anna's site: http://www.myspace.com/horsey75
