Maps of the Night: Three Remain

the words in progress for the maps of the night series

The Maps of the Night went on sale online last Friday sight unseen. They were still drying on the floor of my studio but now only three remain. I am overwhelmed and thrilled with the response the maps of the night received.

The response was not something I was expecting, but it was something I was hoping for. I love these maps. What started as a way for me to break through a painting block, became something important and inspiring to me and to viewers and collectors as well. I am thankful for your support of my work, never underestimate your importance in my life. You encourage me with your comments and you help me stay on this path with your patronage. You put the tea in my cup in the morning, the music in my ears that fuels the paintings, you keep the heat on and allow me to keep working. Thank you.

I want to thank my friend, fellow artist and studio mate Jennifer Libby Fay for the paper that the maps were made on and I must thank my friend, fellow artist, and studio mate Don House for documenting the maps so expertly and quickly. Last by not least I want to thank my dear friend and fellow artist Stewart Bremner for talking with me about my ideas for this series of works, for listening to me, and for inspiring the series. Art is rarely made alone and I am very fortunate and grateful for all the support I have always had in my life for the art that I make.

There will be six more maps in the series, one is already in progress on my studio wall waiting for me. We have had a snow storm so the maps of the night are currently in a holding pattern but I can not wait to return to them. I will be shipping out all the current maps of the night next week to their new homes or making arrangements for their pickup at the Fayetteville Underground if you are local.

I will leave you with the three remaining, Maps of the Night. Please email me at megancha@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing one of these available maps.

Oh and this song is soon to be on repeat in my ears in the studio...
