This joint show will coincide with the Venice Art Walk.  The event will feature paintings, shopping, live music and refreshments and will be open to the public. "For this show, I wanted to feature two artists that best capture the rock and roll spirit of what Venice is really all about - Tim and David's work really capture that in a way that's truly exciting, and complements my approach at my shops," says Claudia Duenas-Milan, owner of Claudia Milan and Claudia Milan for Men. Paintings will remain on display at the stores through July, 2006.
The opening will also welcome Keira Mai and Jaipur to the Claudia Milan family. Keira Mai will offer high end floral arrangements and an exquisite line of fine fragrances, while Jaipur will be offering 18K jewelry featuring semiprecious and precious stones.

About Tim Carmody
Tim's work is highly informed by the art of photography - his inspiration is found in the interplay of positive and negative. Tim began to capture the image through photography in high school. After attending Famous Photographers School in Westport, CT, he began specializing in B&W printmaking in the 60's. He soon began to explore other media using photography as a foundation. After working in the silk screen business he began to use a high contrast graphic technique. This led to painting first and then he created his own method using lino-cuts, paint and ink. In the 80s and 90s he moved into sculpture and video. Currently he's involved in collage through the use of the computer. His work can be seen on wall murals in Balboa, Santa Ana, Irvine and Baldwin Park, CA. He has exhibited his work extensively in galleries throughout Laguna, CA.
Claudia Milan and Claudia Milan for Men are located at 1350 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Suites 101 and 102 in Venice, CA. The boutiques are open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and offer a highly edited collection of the best in wardrobing and accessories for men and women.
