I will be selling paintings and necklaces this weekend, July 24th, at the Grassroots Festival at the Big Horn Equestrian Center. 1-8 p.m. Come on out for good music (Jalan Crossland and the Fireants....just to name a few), organic goods, and other hand made goods!

Some people are wondering what's going on?? Why my website has changed and where is all my art??? You won't find my horse paintings on this site again. I am done with them and in sort of a purging moment I have taken them off the site. I will not be painting them anymore, please don't ask me, I am done. I am on to bigger and better things. Projects that are of my own creation and that evoke happiness and creativity. I am currently working on a few children's books, 'working' means trying to find someone to believe enough in me to help me get published. The artwork (notice I said artwork not illustrations) are what I hope to be some sort of traveling show to accompany the books.

One more question...where did my blog go??? Again, I am on a totally new path...I am working like crazy and if I have time for a blog again in the future I will set one up that represents my current goal and projects.

Thank you all for your support!

I am so lucky to have the opportunity to take part in an amazing artist reclamation project, http://www.landfillart.org. Visit their website to learn more but this here is a short blub about what it is all about:

Landfillart is an international effort encompassing one-thousand-forty-one (1,041) artists to claim a piece of rusted metal garbage and create fine art.

I recieved my hub cap and will be posting my progress to my blog.

Have you seen my blog? If not be sure to check it out. Often time I post experimental pieces that never make it to the site.

Call to artist!

I am helping currate a show at DeerField Gallery here in Buffalo, Wyoming.

ARTIST, CRAFTSMAN, ALL ARE WELCOME AND INVITED TO SUBMIT
1-3 PIECES TO DEERFIELD GALLERY’S RECYCLED ART SHOW.

The premise of the show is reduce, recycle, reuse--all artwork must be made of at least 75%
recycled material and produced by the artist. Basically we challenge you to find the old,
the beaten down, the thrown away and give it a second life as art!

The show will run for the month of April, as this is National Recycling Month.
All piece must be for sale with the artist receiving 60%, the gallery retaining a
modest 20%, and 20% going to a local recycling effort.

Deadline by Saturday March, 29 2008.
