Today for me was a day of beginnings and endings… Kay Worthington and I spoke today at Chemeketa Community College at the third quilt show we have produced together. Last year we were invited by Tim Timmerman to show at George Fox University Gallery in the fall. This year we were invited by Laura Mack […]
This week of working in the backyard studio with Carolyn Schneider, somebody I’ve known since the 7th grade when we met in an art class, has been fun. Interesting. Poignant. Hilarious. Sad. Our own work, our dead mothers and fathers, our family dynamics, aging, our own work…all this talk whirling around while we have worked […]
Carolyn Schneider and I met in a 7th grade art class. Our first forays into the art world were on the subway into the city to go to the Art Institute of Chicago when we were 13. We’ve been looking at art, thinking about art and making art ever since. For the last decade we’ve […]
2016 has been quite the year so far. In January, with Dayna Collins and Tory Brokenshire, I took on the Compass Gallery at the Willamette Heritage Center…shows that change monthly, and Thursday we put up a new show called “Mark Making”. I wrote an essay for a book just out compiled by Salem-ite Deleen Riley […]
Well this gallery gig is interesting and fun, but goodness a month comes around fast! Thursday Dayna, Tory and I put up the new show, “Just Tulips”, and lest you think it’s ALL work, check us out…(these two are a little scary…) Dayna went BOLD… Tory went whimsical…(this one sold already!!) and this one is […]
Well busy, yep, but sick…that nasty chest cold stuff going around. We retreated to the beach where we could cough in unison, we discovered…and be restored… We even got well enough to do a little pruning…the wisteria for instance… no need to cut the rosemary back…the fence guy took care of that… all that’s left…for […]
Krewe du Cascadia went all out today with a Fat Tuesday lunch at Max Marbles with all the favorites…grits, hoppin’ john, creole mac and cheese, etouffe, red beans and rice with spicy sausage, cornbread, beignets (made by Tory)…. q beer of course… Music… King cake…and Tory got the baby…(which means she has to bring the […]
Okay, month two. The show “Light as Air” is up and the gallery continues to look fresh and lively. We have realized that by the time our lease is up in October we probably will have figured everything out, but we’re stepping slowly (but lively) at this point. Once again we each just showed up […]
