May 30, 1, 2, Harding Academy Show

Heading this week to exhibit at the 40th Annual Harding Academy Art Show in Nashville. I love Tennessee Craft, and all my patrons and great friends I get to see...but I am taking a break and trying something different.

I hope it's not too far to trek over to the Harding School, it is open to the public on Friday (9 - 8 p.m.) and Saturday (9 - 4 p.m.). It's located at 170 Windsor Drive. Booths aren't allocated by number and there are around 70 artists... so it's a bit smaller and easier to navigate. I have a new series of work started...It's called the Astral Series and it's an off- shoot/ evolution from the Excavation Series (one always leads to another...)  I hope you will come by...would love to see you all and show you my new work. 

My Spring and Summer Schedule so far.......thought you might like to know....

Headed to American Craft Council Show in Atlanta this Week March 13,14,15

Well it's that time again for one of my favorite shows of the year. If you haven't ever attended a American Craft Council Show at the Galleria Convention Center in Atlanta you owe it to yourself. It's a beautiful big box of delicious candy. Well, sort of, if candy were the best of fine crafts from around the country. It's a lovely show to do with lots of friends to see - since it's my fourth time doing it. It always feels like the start of the year for me and my art show schedule. Last month I did the ACC Baltimore show and it was terrific but under the gloom of snow ( it was a white knuckle drive up there), this show feels more like a true beginning. I am in BOOTH 410 and I have three free tickets left to give out if you need one let me know. If you want to save a bit of money come on Friday night -it's just five dollars to get in, otherwise I think the price of admission is 15.(yea, it's expensive but worth it). The hours are Friday-10 - 8, Saturday 10 - 6, Sunday 10 - 5, 

This year one of my pieces is featured in a designer's room - should be fun. Hope to see you- I have so much new work...it's almost all new work...Yea me!!!

Tennessee Craft in Nashville

Heading out to Nashville this weekend for the Tennessee Craft Show at Centennial Park. I am in booth B13, under my usual big oak tree behind all the food trucks. The show is laid out in a big loop around the park and this is the shadiest place. The Show runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 6, except until 5 on Sunday. Would love to see my Nashville friends and It looks to be a beautiful sunny and not too hot Fall weekend... so come out. 

Atlanta Arts Festival

Come and joint me and 200 other fine artists at the show this coming weekend at Piedmont Park in downtown Atlanta. Beautiful setting, fantastic art and great food and music too, My booth is #133 on the side closest to the downtown. Many of my old students and friends have gravitated to Hotlanta...if this is you, I would love to see you and for you to see my new work. 

Fall Show Schedule:

I have been really bad about keeping everyone up to date and in the loop about where I am around the country. So, I thought I would just give you a schedule of the next few months so that you could know what city I will be in (on the road again-badly sung), so you might be able to come see me and my new work. I have a lot of new pieces available. So here goes.

Last year it wast first big Award of Excellence for the year, which was greatly appreciated.....Staying at my favorite Air b&b with Medea and Allan... Two of the coolest people on the planet. If you are in the vicinity.... Would love to see you.

Happy New Year!

Shout out to everyone that has checked out this website this year. Sincere thanks and hopes for all of us to have a good 2014. This month I am back in my studio after spending five weeks in majestic Switzerland teaching some of the coolest students in the world and hanging with people that I truly love. First show coming up is February 1&2 in Mt. Dora, Florida. Last year this was a great show for me in which I won a major award....I am heading into my studio so inspired by my trip to Paris last week...there is just something about that place... You really do fall in love with it..... The colors, the rain the sounds... There is no place in the world like it.
