I Gotta Get Better

I really must do a better job of keeping
current with my posts. It seems there
is always something else to do.













Since my last post, I have been busy.
I've had shows in Millville, Ocean City,
Lancaster and Berwyn.

I've also been doing well on my Etsy
shop. You can view my Etsy shop
here.

I have a show coming up next month
at Gloucester County College. I will
be posting more about that next week.
I promise.

All the pieces shown on this page
have found new homes. I hope their
new owners enjoy them as much
as  did

Summer Shows

Lady With Earring
Sold  at Perkins members show
in June

It has been a while since my last post, but that doesn't mean
that I haven't been busy. In between closing out my iron
business and finding a new job I still managed to squeeze
in a few shows.








I entered a piece in the Perkins Center for the Arts annual
members show. I was happy to win an award for the piece,
Lady With Earring, and also happy to have it find a new
home.

In July I was the featured artist artist of the
Media Arts Council. I exhibited my work
at Jigsaw Home Solutions for the month.

Here are a few photos from that show.






I have also been working on some pieces
for an upcoming show in October in
Lancaster, PA. More info on that to come
later

 

 

MAC Window Gallery

On Wednesday, I loaded up the car
and headed over to Media, PA, to
set up my artwork in the MAC Window
Gallery. This was not as easy as other
setups, even though I had only four
pieces, due to my being on crutches
as a result of an injury I sustained
in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.
I took my son, Zachary, who acted
the part of chauffer, artistic consultant,
and, most importantly, muscle.

 The window gallery is a storefront window
of Bryn Mawr Trust Company. They do not
use the space and let the Media Arts Council
display art there. The display changes every
month. I was invited, along with two other
artists to exhibit in the space for the month
of September.

The gallery is open 24/7, so the exposure
for both the artists and the Council is
tremendous.


 The best time to go, however, is on the Second
Saturday of the month. Each month, the town of
Media has a great evening of art, music, food, and
entertainment on the Second Saturday.

 It is a lively and fun-filled occasion, with the
opportunity to experience all that the arts offer.





 My fellow artists for this month's showing



Me, Clair Oaks, and Martha Perkins

 are Claire Oaks and Martha Perkins. They
are both artists who use their talent to fill a
canvas to overflowing with color.

May's Shows



Yogawood

 What a month May has been. I was involved
in three shows, and all three were very
satisfying. I met some interesting people and
made quite a few contacts for future shows.

The first show was May 14, at Yogawood
in Collingswood, NJ. This was a solo show.
It was a spectacular space for an exhibition,
with exposed brick walls, an open floor plan
and an absolutely amazing hardwood floor
that is a work of art in itself.



While the weather was somewhat damp and

dreary, people seemed genuinely enthused

about my artwork.

The second show this month was in Media, PA.

This was the annual This Space 4 Rent exhibit,

sponsored by the Media Arts Council. The show

ran for one week, May 14-20.  Again I had a

marvelous time meeting new people and

artists. This was a group showing, open to all

members of the Arts Council. There was some

very impressive art on display.

Perkins Center for the Arts
Moorestown, NJ



And finally, the last show was the annual Perkins

Center for the Arts members and faculty show.

This show runs from May 22 - June 19, 2011.

I couldn't believe the wide variety of art on

exhibit. There were some truly magnificent

artworks on display. I was pleased to have my

work on display with these artists of such high

caliber.

May was a month that I will remember for a long time.
