Woohoo! I received some fun news in an email today. An image of my work was selected to be on the front page of the National Park Service website until sometime in March. This image is of three pieces that were made as a result of my amazing time at Grand Canyon National park in their Artist-in-residence program.

Seeing and the Relevance of the Smallest Things, Solo Exhibition

This exhibition is 1 year in the making, with over 70 individual pieces on display. The show consists of 8 vignettes, each of which are centered around a single photograph taken while I was in the canyon. I hope to upload images of the individual works in the weeks to come.

I am going back!!!!!!

One week from today I am heading out west- back to the Grand Canyon! WOO HOO!!!! It has been over a year since I left Arizona and I am so eager to get back. My experience there had such a profound effect on me and my work, I just can't wait to be flooded with the overwhelming magnificence of that place again. I will be spending 5 nights in the hole, just enough time to reconnect before returning home to put the finishing touches on a solo show of my Canyon inspired work in Fayetteville, NC.

Handmade Market in Dowtown Raleigh

Join me and 50 other artists tomorrow at the Handmade Market in Downtown Raleigh. This is a one day event put on by the Handmaidens and it sounds like tons of fun! With proceeds from a raffle benefiting Meals on Wheels.

Show at Emerge

If you are near Greenville, NC please stop by Emerge Gallery to view an exhibition of my Grand Canyon works through November 2010. Also in this show are the amazing works of ceramic artist Gillian Parke and the mixed media works of Will Goodyear .
