Exposure....YES!

This is the current, September 2012, Ceramics Monthly magazine. It feels good to get an image of my work in this magazine.

Time Doesn't Stand Still...

...and clearly I don't as well.

A long, long delay in any sort of update. For now, as it is very late, I will leave you with this:

I am currently in Detroit, MI living as an artist-in-residence at Adoration (http://www.adorationdetroit.com/) working on a large scale piece for ArtPrize (http://www.artprize.org). More details to follow. I promise.

A Nice Photo I Found Online...

This is an image of an important art (specifically focused in the ceramic world) critic, curator, collector,  writer, and juror of one of the shows I recently got work accepted into that's currently up in Texas. I did not however win any awards, but just getting in the show is supposed to be good enough, right?

Hopefully, I'll get my stuff together more often and post more updates more regularly. Until then....

HERE is now Red Lodge, Montana

It has been that way since September 2nd, 2011.

Four months into my eleven month residency. I can't believe how fast time goes by and by and by.

I can't believe it doesn't stop and I, along with all my friends, keep getting older and their families keep growing. I've just done some internet catching-up on friends and it makes me sad that our world is so big and distances are so great from me to all my friends. I wish the world was really small somedays and that life was a lot more simple. Alas, tis not the case.

Hopefully, I'll find more time to update this blog more regularly so others who may be interested in my doings and find themselves with a late night break can check up on me.

Tomorrow night is an opening for a show in which I have two new pieces on exhibit. The other artists in the show are: Katie Coughlin, Jill Foote-Hutton, Andrew Gilliatt, David Hiltner, Andrea Moon, and Markus Urbanik. It's my debut in Wyoming.

I miss y'all.

Read all about it...Extra! Extra!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 25, 2011

COLUMBUS – The Fine Arts Exhibition opening reception and awards ceremony will take place from 6 to 8 pm on Tuesday, July 26 in the Cox Fine Arts Center at the Ohio State Fair.
