If you are in Chico, you like my work and would like to see much much more of it in an intimate setting - join me this Saturday, December 17th from 11am - 2pm.
Email me for address details: caitlinschwerin@yahoo.com.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Come join me on Friday, May 13th at 11am for a Moment to Meet the Artist whose work has been showing at Café au Play these past few months. Her name is Caitlin, she likes to paint, and she would love to meet you!
This will be a closing reception, as another artist is being summoned to adorn the walls and keep the variety alive!
If there is a painting you have been admiring, dreaming of, pining for – but due to taxes, the economy, your children - you just can’t afford it, I welcome payment plans and I’m also approachable if there is a more feasible price you would like to discuss.

Hello everyone!
Today is a beautiful day - the sun is out, the taxes are done, the birds are chirping and I am working on some magnificent new paintings for my upcoming show at Monk's in Chico. There will be big ones - big enough to fill that space that's always needed that certain something, and medium ones for just a splash of color and sentiment to fill your homes. I am also going to make small little pieces called Caitlettes - which I'll be selling from a bin, in the Lounge, that you can take home with you that very night!
Plus - Music from Mood: Swing - a beat that will make toes tap, your hips sway, and your finger snap. Pam and Robert, I can't wait!!
The show will be up for the summer - I believe I'll be taking the show down in August, but May 7th from 7pm - 9pm (although I'll be there earlier to see anyone who feels like having a glass of wine and a look-see with me) a Big Art Event and a Good Time is taking place.
I'll be sending out information via email this week and please, spread the word!
Life moves so FAST..before you know it, life is like that bus from Speed and you can't hit the brakes.
Every once in a while, an event comes around to remind us of where we are and what is all around us. I am talking about the Portland Love Show.
Gaggles of cool people milling around, admiring artwork from other cool people who are also milling around, all partaking of the potluck goodness everyone has provided for each other and sipping on spirits of the great Ninkasi. Doesn't that sound like fun?
Well, my bus doesn't stop that often, but I participated in this group show, my very FIRST time in a group show since I moved to Portland. It's not often I make the time to sit back and enjoy a show, let alone one that I'm in!!
Hope to see you there!
I am showing in Hood River at Brian's Pourhouse, Hunt & Gather in the Pearl, just recently put up my work at Tin Shed on Alberta, and this is a very informal invitation to attend this --> Portland Love Show which is on February 12th from 7pm - 12am. Bring canned food for donations, your pocketbook, and hugs!

May 2010: I return to Chico, CA for a show at The Artistry!
My luck has followed me to this beautiful city.
Taking a leisurely walk down the colorful street of NE Alberta, I popped into a wonderful store called Real Deals Home Decor. I spoke with the owner, Holly - almost unable to reign in my excitement about being here. We got to talking, and before you know it - she invited me to be the artist of the month in September for the Last Thursday Art Walk!!! I am so stoked and am preparing as I write this.
My very first show as a new Portlander! :)
More news to follow!
Monk's invited me to put up a show this Saturday. It will be a melange of past and present until I get the presents all put together. I will keep you posted as to when the reception is.
Also, I have an interview with the CNR about working as an artist. I'll give out an update as soon as I have one!
Wish for rain.

Anyone who feels the need to hold me accountable, please do by commenting. :)
Once again, we are quickly approaching that magical time where local artists start picking up after themselves and buy wine and cheese for others besides themselves...yes. It's Artober, and for the first and second weekends of October, the studios of more than 100 Chico Artists are open to the public. It's festive, it's intimate, it's exciting and everyone leaves with a greater understanding of artwork, of particular artmakers, or of the mediums we use to make what we do....OR they leave with paintings!
The Art Reception is at the Chico Art Center from 6-9pm on October 6th. For information on that, go to www.chicoartcenter.com.
Look forward to seeing you here! Email me for more information, or just because!
I will be having an art reception / silent auction at Monk's Bistro Wine Lounge, 128 West 2nd Street in Chico on March 2nd. All new work - a beautiful venue - and great wine!
