Merit Award for Me, Yeah!
Tonight I received a Merit Award for my horse. In the midst of the gathering I realized I don't think I had told everyone who my sponsor is. They are the Eye Care Institute and the final name was "Transforming Vision". I forgot my camera but here are the final lighted pictures from the group studio.

The horse is finished!
It's been a busy month or so. I did finish the horse. These aren't the best shots but I should be getting some from the show organizers soon.

Horse progress
So my horse lay on the floor relaxing and drying (I glued mirrors to the inside) for two weeks as I went off the Mexico. More on that later. For now here are the progress shots.
This is me doing surgery without a license. Itchy fiberglass on the inside. When I was using the glue I also had on a respirator. It must have been a sight. I thought ( Read more... ) -
Horse Surgery
Well I have been working on my Gallapalooza horse. After spending many, many days searching online for lights, batteries and solar panels I am narrowing my scopes in. I am also hopeful to find a local solar company to give me some advise on the venture. The construction part if easy, it's the electrical part that I am starting from scratch to ( Read more... ) -
Gallapalooza horse
“Transformative Energy” shows off solar power as an energy source to light the city. The sun on the back of the horse will house a solar panel which will connect to string lights placed inside the horse. These will be visible at night through the window (moon) on the horse’s chest. The lights inside will be magnified by the placement of mosaic ( Read more... ) -
"Pieces too small to be saved", art opening

Yes I finally got around to getting some work out of my studio. So we have not finalized when it will come down but it feels like a perfect match. The show focuses on all of my ( Read more... ) -
Happy and Sad
I just got the news that I will be included in the "Good Folk Fest" http://www.junkabilly.com/goodfolkfest/ here in Louisville. I know, I swore off festivals. I went to two or three in the last few years and bombed at all of them. I am hoping this will be different. For one ( Read more... ) -

Snails pace
Life seems to be running very fast and at the same time my progress with art and studio work is at a snails pace. I have been working on launching a new etsy store with upcycled plexiglas earrings (and eventually other stuff). I made a big push to get it going and then I haven't been posting the pieces or getting them out to my galleries. I MUST ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Starting a new piece. I didn't plan this in the same way I usually do which was refreshing. I was just playing with some feathers and came up with a basic idea. The green coming from behind it is crepe paper which I use quite frequently to assess color. The orange stripe is from my easel.
