Stop by Pop up art Gallery here in the Salem Center Mall for First Wednesday featuring Natalie Cunial of Big Brother Season 9. Natalie is best known for her reality tv appearances, but she is quite the artist with her paintings and portraits of celebrities from Kurt Cobain to Jennifer Lopez. She also does custom portraits, and has a fresh, unique 3D style to her work. We are also showcasing Paula Matthiesen, oil artist, during the event 5-8pm Wednesday, March 7th.
The Cave of Secrets at Pop Up offered a simple deal; read everyone’s secrets if you leave your own. Upon changing the installation to Personal Predictions for the new year, we were surprised to find 726 secrets left by Pop Up patrons. While all ages left something, the demographic skewed heavily to the teenies. A thorough analysis of the content was even more surprising, and encouraging. The most common secret (130) began with “I love”. Here are a few:
I love Jess. Katie. I love my brother. I love this store I love Jesus I love you Britney. I love my daughters. I love grandma. I love my mom. I love you mom . I love this playground by Kobe. I love my boyfriend forever best friend forever. I love you Logan. I really love my daughters. I love you? I love my family. I love life. I love you. I love men. I love life I am stronger than I know. I love my black, D close Y equals forever. I love this store! PS my secret is I’m scared of what the future will hold. I love Twinkies. I love Cassandra. I love Katie. I love my best friend but he doesn’t know. I love this artwork. I think I am in love with a song. I love February. I love you Jade. I love big bananas. I love the art and that.

Did you know more than 60 mid-valley creatives are exhibiting at Pop Up art gallery in the Salem Center mall? New artists this month include Nancy Eng, Jody Bartruff, Diana Dettwyler, Patricia Young, Chuck Magee, Jeanne Ground, Patricia St. Clair and Marcie Wolf. Marcie’s encaustic, or hot wax paintings, are on the front wall for First Wednesday.
Sadly, Timmy Bwell and Kerry Elwood are leaving us this month. We’ll miss the mandalas and rugged shorelines. You can catch Timmy’s Buddhas at Venti’s for the next three months. Thanks to all the Pop Up artists! We’re open 5-8ish tonight. Ask for a refreshment!
Patty Noice stopped by Pop Up art gallery to visit her skull and take in some inspiration. She commented on the need to circle the gallery a few times to take it in, so I sat down and asked her a few questions.
