the madness is beginning a little earlier this year. i was recently juried into the atlanta dogwood festival in atlanta, georgia which is the first weekend in april! it's been so cold here in the barren north, i can't wait to get back to the south... even if it is for just a week. :) my husband, matt, did his grad work at clemson university in south carolina, which is only two hours away from atlanta. so while i'm down there i'll get a chance to see some old friends. :) matt can't go... he's got to work. he's insanely jealuos. :) my mom is going to take the place of my lovely assistant. :) i am so excited to spend the week with her! i also got invited to participate in the art fair at laumeier in st. louis, missouri and the edina art fair in edina, minnesota, which is just outside minnepolis. both are in may... (see my event calendar for further information on those events)...
i was contacted by elysian brewing company in seattle, washington a couple weeks ago. the curator is going to hang my work in their brewpubs. :) i believe my work will be in the elysian fields brewpub first and if they are well received my paintings will travel to the other two elysian breweries in the city. "hello seattle!"
in january i had the chance to attend a glass blowing workshop at hasting college in hastings, nebraska. i attended the same workshop last year and was wooed by the glass. :) hot glass is amazing and the process is intoxicating. i love it. matt is implementing a hot glass program at northern state university where he is the professor of sculpture. i've had the opportunity to tag along in his research.
my exhibit at the dakota prairie museum has been up for about two weeks now. :) last night was the "opening" reception. it went very well... i even sold a piece! the show looked great. this year i've started a new "vein" of work. i call them 'machines'... this current exhibit was their "unveiling"of sorts... :) i got great comments and they were a hit. :) i am excited about their possibilities. no worries though! i will not abandon my monsters...
