Hello again
Hi-
We all are living through some pretty wild times.
I am a public school art teacher and have been Soooooo busy switching my teaching to online approaches.
Frankly - I have enjoyed the challenge and my art teacher colleagues have been amazingly helpful - and this very new work has taken hours and hours - but I'm getting the hang of it...at least in this current version.
As the museum has been closed and will open in a limited fashion concurrently when the show opens in late May - we have been offered the opportunity to make a video or some digital communication about our work.
Well, I am not film-maker - but in this DIY time of digital communication in lieu of in-person time, I am figuring this stuff out.
ALSO- I am grateful for the down-n-dirty looser standards of the amateur efforts.
Long intro - here we go- hope it's helpful (the challenge of figuring it out was fun...at least when I got over the worry part).
Hang in there...we'll get through this.
Love - to all

In the meantime - I have mailed a piece to the Yellowstone Art Museum for a show titled

Nice looking show at the Walters
Thanks you to the Walters Cultural Arts Center for hosting our show Layers.
Special thanks to all who skillfully hung the show. The pieces in proximity tell a story and emphasize certain visual features or themes.
Last night it was hard to settle down. I worried about my gallery talk and at 2:30 in the morning - wishing I had said this, or that, I came downstairs and made this google slide show to articulate a way to view the work.
As a teacher - this is my preferred method. I just can't help myself.

Layers - 3 person show at Walters Cultural Arts Center
New Work and a few you have seen (on this blog) before.
Should be a wonderful show at the Walters Cultural Arts Center.
Opening Reception:
February 4, 5-8pm
2nd Reception: March 3, 5-8pm
527 East Main Street
Hillsboro, Oregon
I plan on having a print sale at the February 4th event - so come and get a deal on some monotypes.
...there is no gallery commission on these, so the prices will be good.
