I keep waiting for a coherent body of photos, events, thoughts to surface (other than the car wash)…to no avail. I guess the life I’m leading is chaotic these days, so lets go anyway…we left the car wash and headed east …first stop Edgefield, a destination spot in a former poor farm…odd but true, and […]
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 […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Here in the Northwest it’s chilly and overcast…just about the perfect day to run around doing a few errands and then COFFEE! Archive Bar and Coffee was hopping today and Bigwig Donuts were down there, as well as Ponderosa and Thyme… Coffee first and then a bouquet for a loved one to […]
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 […]
Back in 2008 I started a little drawing book in which I would only record my coffees. For a couple of years it got buried in a pile of drawing books, but eventually was rescued…it started like this… and home again it became a sort of journal of my travels around town… trips to the […]
Friday was a day of looking at other people’s art…at last. It started early with a visit to the studios of the six senior art majors at Willamette University who are midway in the process of preparing their senior show, opening in April 2016. All six seemed motivated, excited about their work and certain about […]
Once again a week has drawn to a close with the next one looming before us. This past week was one of varied activities which included work, friends, art (of course), family, archives, music. It looked like this… The yard needs some attention as we move into fall, but this was mainly for something pretty […]
We’re still ironing, still drawing, doing a bit of mending…talking a lot about housework, sewing, raising families as artistic expression…a great deal of reexamination of the lives of mothers by almost all our visitors…more about that when we sum up. Sunday will be a day of rest and relaxation…Monday we’ll be back on duty representing […]
In 2012 I went to Fort Bragg, California, to make art with my friend artist Carolyn Schneider, and to put up a show called “Art Laundry” at the Lost Coast Culture Machine Gallery. We had fun, worked hard, and the show was a success and held over for another month. Carolyn discovered her latent desire […]
Friday night was the opening of the two summer shows at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art here in Salem. The BIG summer show is the work of Portland sculptor Mel Katz, with also the very fine show of drawings by artists Christy Wyckoff and Tom Prochaska. Mel Katz was to speak at 5:00 but […]
