white thoughts

This day, then, 

belongs to the woods
That secret solace. 

Trees bending

in symphony, 
cool white thoughts.

Land

LAND
Wind on the lake, stirring
those island trees. 
Frustrated fruits, pine combs, 

with nowhere to land.

Serendipitous Collage, APRIL Pro-Chem Workshop

Samples from my upcoming workshop, Serendipitous Collage, APRIL Pro-Chem in MA. We will create a series of postcards. A really easy and exciting way to create collage- magical! I published this in Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine, Jan 2011

Easy Stencil Creation

I've had success making my own stencils with 4ml painters plastic. 

There is even heavier weight plastic you can choose to use. 
They're lightweight, easy to clean & store. If you need them slightly stiffer, tape edges with heavy duty duck tape. 
Nice too since they're transparent, you can place over design and trace. 

 If you want to repeat your stencil designs, they're thin enough to use as a mask for silkscreens.

SAQA Showcase exhibition Videos

     Carolyn Ducey, curator of the International Quilt Study Center & Museum, has posted a series of videos discussing each of the artists in the SAQA Showcase exhibition. I hope you'll take some time and have a look.

Bound, a WCA exhibit

“BOUND”

WOMEN’S CAUCUS FOR ART JURIED EXHIBITION

JANUARY 30 – FEBRUARY 23, 2013

PHOENIX GALLERY

210 Eleventh Avenue at 25^th Street, New York, NY 10001

www.phoenix-gallery.com

 RECEPTION:  FEBRUARY 16, 6:00-9 PM

Women's Caucus for Art and the Phoenix Gallery are proud to present "Bound", juried by Cora Rosevear, Associate Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art. Ms.Rosevear chose 24 works and one performance piece to be displayed in the gallery (and an additional 118 works that will be displayed in the exhibition catalog only). 

“Bound” featuring all women artists and one performance group, represents multiple expressions of commentary on the interpretation of bound. This exhibition explores the concepts of bound and borders--be they internal, external, constructed, imagined, imposed, or embraced and how boundaries define and shape our identities, relationships, ideas and politics.  This exhibition furthers the mission of the Women's Caucus for Art, which is to create community through art, education, and social activism.  Read more about WCA at:  www.nationalwca.org

Please join us on February 16^th from 6:00 to 9:00 PM to the “Bound” Artists.

Gallery Hours:  Tuesday through Saturday 11:30 – 6:00 PM

I am proud to be included in the catalog!
