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...

work

(we are a herd) i am going to set this one down for awhile. i feel like its finished or super close.

sketchbook project.

i am glad i participated. i almost participated with a local group that i belong to, but got caught up in my solo show. (time does not permit for everything, eh?) its a good thing because rozelle artists guild in memphis tenn. are also sponsoring the project and I am glad to work with them. a wonderful group of artists, most (if not all) i am aquainted with through Memphis College of Art. i hope they are glad to recieve it back.... is this cheating by posting it ahead of time?? i cant wait. anyhow, for more info http://www.rozelleartistguild.org/. yay.

commission

i made this work based off of a statement: "...as long as it matches my curtains." our interior space defines us. lol. lighthearted=)

working on it.

these are most recent works still in progress. lately, i have been drawing more in preparation for some larger installations. drawing larger has been a breath of fresh air! the size of the canvas can really contain a whole idea and holdback a river of them.

visual poetry is on my mind. all the time.=) metaphors and movement filled verbs too. juxtapositions of ideas are being put to test on paper... and i like it. i will definitely repost these two works as i work it out...

conversations, feedback and questions are always welcome...

also, i am seeking out some shows that are interested in my installation proposals as well as some large scale drawings and small sculptures. if any one has any suggestions, please contact me! i dont mind if you post comment or email me! please pass along, too... or just keep me in mind=)
