Art of the Week: Reaching for the Sky

I finally downloaded the photos from my phone and have entitled this new piece Reaching for the Sky.  I love how these trees looked like outstretched arms when gazing up at them from the ground.  These pictures were shot at a park in Hutchinson, Kansas while visiting a friend for Thanksgiving.  The two trees split at the trunk but continued to grow vertically in parallel (you can see the pattern of growth in the latter picture).

This Week: Beyond the Lens VII

I'm sorry I didn't manage to post anything ahead of time about this, but it was kind of short notice between finding out that I was accepted and celebrating the holidays with my family.  Tonight, I attended the reception for Beyond the Lens VII at Framations.  I Dressed for the Occasion as seen here, channeling my inner Charles Dickens to reflect on all of the fun St. Charles Christmas Traditions festivities.  And I was deeply honored to win First Place in the show for Swing.  It is a wonderful exhibition, please drop by and check it out.

LAST CHANCE documentation

Happy holidays!

I invite you to check out some documentation from my big LAST CHANCE! One Night Only! event last Saturday.  The event featured my 10-year art anniversary retrospective exhibition and culminated in a speech & physically-intense performance in which over 150 artworks were destroyed.  Information about the show, photographs and videos can be found on my website and blog here.

Thank you so much and I'll look forward to seeing you around in 2013.  Here's to the next 10 years of art-making!

All of my products have met with my approval and are up to my standards.  I always order one of everything I post, just to be sure, and now I have an awesome new wallet (design shown here) and a bunch more fun stuff to show for it.  :)

LAST CHANCE Aftermath

I am still recuperating from my big event yesterday and have a lot to think about.  I will continue to post that process to the anniversary blog so feel free to follow it there as it develops.
