finally, art hop pictures!

Sorry for the delay, I know I promised. Here they are, almost a week late- photos of our Burton Employee art hop- with many thanks Tomas Ruprecht, for the great pix. The show this year was a great success, and many thanks goes out to all the artists and sponsors who helped make it happen! We had a great party with food from local eateries, ice cream courtesy of Ben and Jerry's, a live dance performance by the girls of Cheeks Dance company ( all I can say about them is WOWSERS!) music by Joshua Panda, and of course Magic Hat on tap.

So many people came out to support art in the South End of Burlington. I am blessed to have such wonderful friends and colleagues! Thanks everyone for your hard work and dedication to this project!

Art's Alive

I am so honored to be selected to be in the Art's Alive of Fine Art Festival! This is the first time I have ever done anything like this and I am thrilled! I have only done one other juried show before, that one was earlier in this year. This show is a little different, as it showcases Vermont artists in a group show at Union Station, as well as matches each artist up with a business on Church Street, where their art is showcased. Tomorrow morning, I am going down to the Crow Bookshop to hang my pieces in the window- I have decide to use all my "book related" works, taking with me two smaller altered books, and several collages on old book covers. I finished up three more tonight. I will display them in these beautiful speciem box frames that I found-
There is a gala opening on Friday, June 5th. I wish I could be there, but I am leaving for Asia on Sunday, AM and won't be back in time- The Journey of Captain Eva is going into the group show at Union Station. I am really excited to show it in this venue. I still think it is one of my favorite pieces.

If you are in Burlington, on Friday, check it out- There's live music and all sorts of festivities- Should be a blast!
