From the Center!- Juried by Lucy Lippard!

Lucy Lippard is a key international, contemporary, feminist art critic and writer. I first became aquainted with her writings in college. She is the juror for the upcoming exhibition "From the Center" hosted by the National Women's Caucus of Art and Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, which I entered. I am pleased to announce that out of 450 artworks to select from, My work "Comfort Blanket" was of the select 75 pieces to be included in the exhibiton through catalogue and online gallery!

Yay! This honor is a major accomplishment in my artistic career and will hopefully be followed by many more to come.

Fern Logan

I first became aquainted to Fern Logan's work when I recieved a gift from a thoughtful person. The gifted book was Reflections in Black compiled by Deborah Willis. I was immediatey drawn to the direct yet personable portraits by photographer Fern Logan.

Visit her site at fernlogan.com

She is a great inspiration to me, as a young woman artist.

Summer Art Camp with Portfolio Gallery

the summer time is coming to an end... and i wish that it wasnt! one of my favorite highlights was working with summer camp students at Third Baptist Church on Grand. They were a great bunch! I swear there are so many visually gifted children it's ridiculous. Thank you Portfolio Gallery! The image above is one of their projects: tile making! yay. and can you believe it, we made the tiles in one day (an hour and a half at that!)... dont worry, I can barely believe it myself. They did so well! Cant wait til next summer...
