This Week

I am gearing up for plein air season again, with the annual Augusta event starting later this week into next.  Although I will not be able to participate on weekend days due to schedule conflicts, I will be painting at Augusta Shores this Thursday, April 24 and will participate next week from Wednesday, April 30 - Friday, May 2.  And be sure to catch me at the sale on May 4.

I am also offering the first of my series of professional practice seminars through Capital Arts in Jefferson City.  This 3-hour seminar will discuss Entering Shows, Professional Presentation & Writing Your Artist's Statement.  Participants are invited to bring a proposal, artist's statement and/or other writing to share and for feedback.  More information can be found on the 2ndStory Space blog here.

Art of the Week: Caged Bird

A hearty thank you to Andrew Limanni for selling me this wonderful bird cage from your treasure trove.  Now I could finish my Caged Bird assemblage, incorporating one of the porcelain birds from my grandmother's estate that unfortunately broke.  The broken bird has been enhanced along the breaks with gold leaf to show how ephemeral and fleeting our time here is, and how fragile and precious our lives...

Little Black Dress Goes to Urban Eats

My Little Black Dress project is traveling to Urban Eats for their spring rotation.  Here are some preview pictures of the show, which will change out monthly to feature different montages and groupings of photographs.

There will be an art project on April 13 in conjunction with the popular Sunday brunch so be sure to check it out!  Materials will be provided.
