opening story stuff
I find that with each art exhibit I learn more about my own work. Last night, during the opening party for “Story Stuff” at Caplan Art Designs, I had multiple questions about my art techniques – in addition to conversations about the content within my artwork. As a result I realized that I’m an ancient…

community creatures curated
Here are some pictures from the Anstine Gallery exhibit of my artwork titled “Community Creatures”. I’ve noticed that adults sometimes become problem oriented, especially in certain professions. So I delight in, via the Anstine Gallery, bringing humorous art to a government building in Vancouver. Doing my small part to bring a smile to your day.…

self portrait as a wicked book

community creatures running loose at the Anstine Gallery
The art was delivered to the Anstine Gallery this morning. The snow I’d worried about in my last post wasn’t a problem! (Whew!)

Soon I’m delivering artwork to the Anstine Gallery – an art gallery located in a governmental building in Vancouver WA. – for a one woman exhibit titled “Community Creatures”. Since it’s in a government building I’m taking the opportunity to celebrate, with artwork, aspects of the community I love. I’ve titled the exhibit “Community Creatures”…

interview about my public art at WSU Vancouver
Recently, Amanda Flynn, the previous editor-in-chief of the Salmon Creek Journal at WSUV sat down with me for an hour long interview about my art-making process for the public art piece I created for the campus. It was the most comprehensive and most fun interview I think I’ve ever given. I mean I really “told-it-all”!…

the tale of Heroes Journey
Today I gave a speech during the unveiling of my public art piece for Salmon Creek Journal and Washington State University Vancouver. The artwork is titled “Heroes Journey”. Here’s a full image of it (up till now I’ve only been posting teaser bits on my blog) and below the image is more-or-less the text of…

Heroes Journey arrives at WSU Vancouver today
In my last post (here) I was packing up a new public art piece for delivery to Washington State University Vancouver. In my post I was planning for rain. It was a good thing I did because it rained today! Very light rain as we walked the art from the car to the building where…
