Mixed Media
This period in history is basically becoming the norm with the economy spiraling downward and plunging deeper and deeper into that black hole and with hundreds of thousands of jobs being gutted - it is a time for all of us to be "on edge."

Secretary of Art

I received this email from one of my local art groups (Art Talk) of which I belong and thought I would share it:


You may have already received this from someone else, but it is so important, we're passing it along.

Quincy Jones has started a petition to try and influence President Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. Please take a moment to go to the sight and sign at
www.petitiononline.com/esnyc/petition.html

This is very important. Many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries. The United States has never appointed a person to represent the Arts. We in the Arts need this, and the country needs the Arts--now more than ever.

Please take a moment to sign this important petition, and pass it on to everyone on your e-mail list.
Thank you.

Vessels of Distinction

Vessels of Distinction
Mixed Media
3 x 4
Free flowing containers of thoughts, emotions, feelings, ideas, suggestions,
disagreements and decisions
- different shapes and sizes -
all to allow an ultimate purpose.

Inside Me

Inside Me

Somewhere in this, there is a part of me, free but yet caged, thoughts muddled but still flowing.

Within the past weeks, since September actually, I've been in an unusual frame of mind - caught up in making a lot of critical decisions and I found that my state of being is easily reflected in the drawings that I will be posting in the coming days.
