detail of 'One Day 42'Numbers appear in my work representing my age at significant events which happened in my lifeI feel there is an emotional / physical response when a number is heard which alters one on a certain level whether it be conscious or subconscious.Many of my works deal with time and the changes that occur in all life - the blooming and the decay - and the continuation of spirit. After all, everything is temporary.
This show called for audience participation with writing a Haiku based on the poppy image seen orinspired by the botanical impressions installation. The wall is filling up - it's really neat to see!
What a night - well attended - good people, good food, good energy - and good response!

Pitch Fork and Gerber before heading to MacDonald GalleryI'm excited about the show at College Misericordia, in Dallas, PA, which opened today. Showing with Nina and Skip in the main gallery with my works in a separate gallery gives the viewer a large range of what art is and can be. The 'installation' idea came by co-creating with curator Brian Beneditti who wanted the look of the space to feel like my actual studio - hence there is a rawness not ordinary seen in a gallery like setting. To not worry about framing was liberating..... like going without a certain under garment.....UPDATE: The show was featured as a "Best Bet" by the Times Leader Guide! www.timesleader.com/stories/best-bet,133617
Here's a sneak preview of a piece which will be exhibited at the MacDonald Gallery April 10- April 29 with the opening reception Saturday April 14 , 5:00-8:00pm. It's a shovel - to help dig to deeper levels.......
