Bar Maids Gone Boating

by | Jul 30, 2016 | Musings

So, then this happened.

Well, it was planned for a few weeks…

Today was our first ever, leave at 6am, drive to the Snowies, put the duckie in 7 different lakes, and laugh as much as possible day. And, it’s not over yet! We have yet to have dinner together…at 6pm.

Alas, we might have gotten a few strange looks, but we also brightened a few (very plainly clothed I might add) peoples day. We are in at least one other persons camera besides mine, maybe more. Next year, (yes, we are already planning next years outing…) we’re taking my truck, starting earlier, staying later and maybe even have a few costume changes throughout the day(s). Thanks for a great day Jenn, I am lucky to have the best-est neighbor ever!

Abandoned Carousel

by | Mar 29, 2016 | Figurative Sculptures

Abandoned and discarded objects find new life in a spinning carousel. This piece laments lost childhoods in a time where modern conveniences outweigh endless hours of unsupervised summertime fun in a seemingly post-apocalyptic collapse of life on the prairie. Derelict yes, abandoned dreams, no.

This piece is currently on exhibit in the Arts Longmont Gallery in Colorado for EcoCreations 7, a national juried exhibition.

New Years Eve Day Studio Time

by | Dec 31, 2011 | Musings

I’m off to clean and organize my clay studio in a valiant effort to start 2012 out right! It is super duper windy today here in Laramie, so whatever needs to go, will just blow away!  A few months ago I started this project by moving my computer desk out of my studio and into the basement of our house. My plan, only artwork (not computer work) will be created in my studio. But first, a bit of re-arranging in there. See you all next year!

 

My First Art Museum Show…

by | Sep 1, 2011 | Sculptural Mosaics

I’ll have one of my figurative sculptures on display at the Las Cruses Art Museum through October 15th, 2011. There is an opening for the exhibit tomorrow night, but sadly, it wasn’t in the cards for me to be at the museum. I’ll be there in spirt though! I’m so excited about being juried into this biannual show. It feels great to be moving forward in this direction~
Here is a link to the museum’s website. If you go, let me know!
