SURTEX 2011 - ANNUAL ONE-OF-A-KIND SHOW

New York, New York, I love New York!!!
Gina Freehill at Surtex 2011 May 13th, 2011 my partner and I flew out to Manhattan, NY, to showcase my artwork at the Surtex Art Licensing show being held at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center. Attending were over 6,000 professionals from 49 countries (12% of attendance was international) walking the aisles seeking new artwork, scoping the latest trends, establishing new relationships and networking. As an artist I find this event to be very exciting, to be approached by different manufactures and buyers who are looking to art licensing your artwork to put on Surtex Show 2011 Photostheir products and sell to consumers world wide is fantastic! This year we showcased one of my new collections "Rhapcity." This collection was inspired by my love for the city Dress made entirely from paper.and fashion! I created city vignettes that mix and match with a variety of patterns. Adding silhouetted Rhapcity girls added another layer of fashion fun! This collection was well received and will be seen on wall murals, hand bags, umbrellas, scarfs and posters in 2012!

Surtex brings artists from all over the world and runs alongside the National Stationery Show! In one area of the show was featured a competition for designing dresses of various fashion ages made completely out Ferrara Bakery in New Yorkof PAPER!!! "WOW!" So unique and exceptionally well executed! "Hmmm ... I wonder how much a paper dress goes for these days? LOL, don't get caught in the rain!

We always like to site see and explore the streets of New York! Shopping on Broadway, eating fabulous food! One of our favorite bakeries is Ferrara's they have the best pastries, gelato and cappuccino ever! "YUM!"
