Open Studio Weekend

I'm pleased to announce that my studio will be part of the Louisville Visual Arts Association Open Studio Weekend this Sat. and Sun., Nov. 9th &10th! This will also be my Unofficial Studio Opening since moving into my new space in the Aztec Flooring warehouse in Old Louisville this June.

And don't miss the Launch Party, Friday, Nov. 8 at Cressman Center for Visual Arts, 100 E. Main Street, 6–9pm. One piece of art from each of the more than 70 participating artists will be on display. The party is free and open to the public. Meet the artists, buy a ticket for the tour, and plan your studio visits.

The media has been giving excellent coverage, including the front page of last Sunday's Arts section in the Courier-Journal and a live artist interview today at noon on WHAS, with more interviews to come.

Ticket Information

Proceeds help fund scholarships for 960 students enrolled at the Hite Art Institute and LVAA’s Children’s Fine Art Classes (CFAC).

Please pass this along to any of your friends that might be interested. The tour will be informative, entertaining, a worthwhile fund raiser, and you just might find the perfect one-of-a-kind Christmas gift for someone special.

New Studio Space in Old Louisville

My new studio, downtown at  620 Myrtle St., continues to amaze me. I can actually work on multiple projects at once! I've only been here a little over a week so there is a lot more to be done. Let me know if you will be in the area and please visit.

Studio Visit

Several weeks ago I was visiting friends in the Asheville area of North Carolina. While there, I had the privilege of visiting the home and studios of sculptor Shane Snider and  his wife, artist/educator, Tamie Beldue. I was introduced to Shane's work through his website by searching for artists who use concrete - one of my obsessions. Here are links to their websites:

Shane's recent work beautifully combines wood and concrete into elegant figures. I wish I had taken more photos :-(
