Spring Shows Keep Blooming

The Bistro Show

​The Spring had been blooming:
events flowing in quick succession. 

​As some shows are ending, others are “springing” up.

​  The celebration at Fire & Hops was a delight,  as friends from many circles of life gathered  to kick off  the Bistro Show there.     This show will stay up for a while, although   I will be changing out a few of the selections;   one collage was sold (yay!)  and another is destined for another show  (more on that later!)

 ​
Additions to the Store! 

I am pleased to have added to the on-line art store Art of Santa Fe.    I have now uploaded the Scenes of New Mexico Greeting Card collection, a popular selection at the Sunday Market, so it is now available to seekers on line.    Culled from my Autumnal Haiku Series, this collection comprises five collage images of scenes in autumn in northern New Mexico.     From the backyard to mountain vistas, these colorful cards capture the bright hues and lively atmosphere on this unique corner of the American Southwest.    Whether you are a native norteño, a visitor wishing to bring a memory home, or a faraway dreamer longing for the high plains and mountains of New Mexico, this collection is sure to please.

New Journal!

​I have expanded my selection of journals. These blank, lined notebooks are ready for you to record your dreams and memories and hopes for the future, featuring my own collage designs on the cover. 

I write in my journal every morning, and I wanted to make the opportunity beautifully available to everyone.  Makes a nice gift too! Three designs are available:  Loosen Your Soul, Musings, and the new one, Reverie; and can be purchased at the Market on Sundays.  ​

Art Tour!

A couple of friends from the old neighborhood, River Forest in Illinois, came to visit family in Santa Fe, and they made of seeing all my current shows – in Los Alamos, Espanola, and Santa Fe.  They called it the “Collage Homage”. What larks!

New Show

“Vessel” is the title of the new show at The Portal Gallery of the Art Center at Fuller Lodge in Los Alamos, featuring an exploration of the meaning of vessel:

  “they have myriads of purposes and can elicit countless meanings”. 

I thought my collage “Still Life” would be a perfect example of that, and apparently so did the exhibition jury:  my award-winning collage will be in the show. 
​
The opening reception is May 11, and runs to June 23.

"Still Life"

More Shows Coming

This week I also heard that I have the “green light” on a solo show at the Portal Gallery.  This will feature my collages of stars, planets and galaxies and will debut mid-January 2019.  More on that in the months to come.

Meanwhile, you can find me cutting and pasting at the Santa Fe Railyard Artisans Market on Sundays.  I am still working on my Coral Reef Series – although I will take time out to work on my piece for the Exquisite Corpse show (October, Santa Fe.)

Peace and Love,
