mind map of a Clancy art exhibit
I’ve been busy getting ready for my one-person art exhibit to open June 2nd at Burnt Bridge Cellars – a winery in Vancouver WA. Part of doing an exhibit is to write an exhibit statement.

Glad To Be Alive sketchbook by Clancy
I’m getting ready for a one-woman fine art exhibit held at Burnt Bridge Cellars and set up by the Caplan Art Designs gallery – and part of getting ready is writing an “exhibit statement”.

what the sheet music became
In my last post I told a bit about using sheet music in my fine art – you can see more about that and a photo of work-in-progress here: https://atomic-temporary-81644525.wpcomstaging.com/2017/04/27/sheet-music-in-fine-art/ While I worked I thought of the music and musicians that I’m honored to know personally – those I get to hear in small places, like cafe’s and homes…

Strummer
I think often about “artistic purpose” – and while, yes, I do get money for my work (I’m a professional, this is my full-time job) that’s not my only purpose for creating art. Today when I was thinking about this topic I had my tongue firmly planted in my cheek… and I did this poem and illustration. Strummer…

artichoke music sketches
I sketch in order to find out what I want to say. I make fine art, artist books etc. in order to say it clearly. This means I sketch a lot. What I’m looking for when I go walking about with my sketchbook in hand is whatever “catches my eye”. Often when I do sketchbook work I…
