My show at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art has been going great.  The museum has been really supportive. First of all, Rhea Miner and and rest of the curatorial team has hung the show so nicely.   It is really pristine and easy to navigate.  All the docents are eager and able to explain the fine points of the exhibition.  Natalea Thomson in marketing is getting the word out.  Executive Director Kevin O'Brien has appeared on live TV with me... twice.  On June 13th we appeared on WXXV Fox 25 and this past Wednesday, July 26th, we were on WLOX interviewed by Dave Elliott.  And it's working!  Everywhere I go people are enthusiastic about it.  I've dropped in a couple of times in the past few weeks and some folks tell me they've come back more than once to take it all in.  Not only do they like the art itself, they love the fact that they can see the everyday decision-making that is part of the artistic process.  All that has brought the Ohr's visitor-numbers up up too, I'm proud to say.  And there are about 3 more weeks until closing, August 19th.

The museum has granted me another Artist Talk scheduled for Saturday, July 29, 2017 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm.  So find out what the fun is all about.  Come talk with me, one friend to another at the:

The other good news is that one of my pieces, The Evocation and Capture of Aphrodite, is on view simultaneously at the Huntsville Museum of Art, Alabama's leading arts center.  The exhibition is  called The Red Clay Survey:  2017 Exhibition of Contemporary Southern Art.

The 2017 Survey will be up from July 9 - October 1, 2017.  It's solid work shown in a grand piece of architecture.  Check out the artists of the Southeast US:

Thank you for sharing today in such an eloquent and inspiring way. Your gift is a treasure that we were privileged to see - and more importantly, experience through the insight you provided. I consider myself a "crafter," and stand in awe of those true artists whose work not only amazes, but inspires. Your work and presentation simply energized us with possibilities.
