Oregon Art Beat Segment
Lucky me...I was interviewed for a segment on Oregon Art Beat in fall of 2009...and it is now going to finally air on January 13! If you are not in Oregon, you will be able to see it online after it airs.
I am so grateful to KC Cowan for coming to my Portland show and she even bought one of my pieces! That's where she saw my work and asked me to be on the show. Had it not been for Onda Gallery, which has since gone out of business, I would have never made this connection. Thanks to Alan Oliver for giving me a chance.
Thanks to all of you who support local artists!
Friends of a Feather
Hi and thanks for checking out my blog. I have a show currently hanging at the Jacobs Gallery. It's called Small Pleasures. I have posted several images from that show on earlier posts. I am putting up the rest so my pals from out of town can see all of them. All ihe pieces in this show are birds made from paper clay with mixed media backgrounds.

It's In Our Hands
Wise Guy
Throughout the history of mankind, the owl has featured significantly in mythology and folklore. Owls are one of the few birds that have been found in prehistoric cave paintings.
I just hear on NPR that owls are now endangered in India because of Harry Potter! People are catching them and selling them as pets. Tragic!
"A wise man speaks because he has something to say.
A fool because he has to say something." Plato
Seems relevant to facebook.
Something to Crow About
Check out this AMAZING video about crows. http://video.pbs.org/video/1621910826/
I am so inspired by the crow family that hangs around my house. They stick together and come to each other's aid when needed. Too bad for such a beautiful bird they don't have a prettier song.

The Scurge if Birdom
Starlings were brought to the US because Shakespeare glorified them and now they are everywhere and we will never be rid of them. They are interesting and somewhat handsome...but not to be trusted.
Dirty Birds
I have a bird bath outside my studio window and all the birds get in it and bathe. But not the robins. They look pretty good for such dirty birds.
Bird in Hand
Getting ready for some upcoming shows...
and have lots of birds in hand ; )
• Opening December 10, 2010 Small Pleasures, a multi-artist invitational at the Jacob's Gallery, Eugene
Happy October!
I just visited my friend Peggy in Portland and she found this wonderful owl print that was silk screened on glass. I am working on birds right now. Lots of birds. They are all over my bird bath in the back yard and they inspire me. So they are really dinosaurs?
Another Mixed Media Workshop in April!
  |
I am teaching another Mixed Media Workshop at Clay Space here in Eugene, Oregon. It will be April 24-25 for two half-day sessions and I will be demonstrating my paper mache clay and collage techniques. We will complete a finished project. I love getting others inspired to make art! That is almost better than making it myself. For more information go to http://www.clayspaceonline.com/workshopslectures.html
Mixed Media Workshop this weekend!
I am teaching a Mixed Media Workshop this weekend at Clay Space here in Eugene, Oregon. I will be demonstrating my paper mache clay and collage techniques. We will hope to complete at least 2 finished projects. I love getting others inspired to make art! That is almost better than making it myself. The class is filled with some really creative people...and there might be a little space left...For more information go to http://www.clayspaceonline.com/workshopslectures.html
Show at Passionflower Design
Check out this eclectic show at Passionflower Design in Eugene! I am in this show with two of my favorite artists, Beverly Soasey and Betsy Wolfston. It hangs until the end of February...it's worth a peek!
Growing
I am posting the images from my latest show that is currently hanging at the Jacobs Gallery in Eugene, OR. It is in the Hult Center for the Performing Arts at 1 Eugene Center. There are 4 artists altogether and the show hangs until February 13. I am calling this group of work Growing. Once again I am combining plants, insects and birds with human forms in my never ending effort to bring attention to the fact that we are part of nature, not separate from it. If we took our lessons from nature, we would not be destroying the planet.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
