I have two pieces I entered for the WOWS Show and Enter the Silence was selected as an Honorable Mention. The show will be up until May 31st at The Fine Art Center at Town & Country.

Will be attending the International Calligraphy Conference in Colorado Springs in July, 2013.  Will be studying with Carl Rohrs.  So excited.

I will be facilitating the last in a series of poetry and art Sunday, April 21, 5-7 pm at The Fine Art Center at Town & Country.  The artists of the gallery have selected poems written by local and published poets and painted their words.  The theme is called 12 Inches by 12 Lines.  The poets wrote 12 lines of poetry and the artists' paintings are 12"x12." 

These events have proven to be a great success.

April is also National Poetry Month…..a great way to conclude an evening of fun, music and lots of creativity.

AboutThe Class: In this class students will investigate & incorporate the underpinnings of the hidden laws of nature - sacred geometry - exploring these forms and synthesizing the linear with the artistic aspect of pattern and beauty. Step by step, students will design a template from which to springboard to create a portfolio of their own unique expression. Music, meditation, sound and silence will accompany students as they wend their way through a series of exercises exploring the tempo and voice of their unique line—story, script, gesture and mark—developing flow—letting go of the familiar long enough to greet the unexpected.

GREAT NEWS

Along with my friends Trish McKinney and Karen Benedetti, we were able

to accomplish raising funds for the Brandon Haskins Art Memorial Scholarship

in his beloved memory.  Before the 2nd anniversary of his death, $20,000 was

raised towards this endeavor.  We are so grateful for this accomplishment.

This was a beautiful shop in Portland, OR, called the Button Emporium.  I had

to buy a few just to have on hand.

together at the Portland Calligraphy Conference.
