Unveiled in Richmond, VA

The couple who purchased this sculpture for their elegant home in the historic Fan district, were as delighted to see it installed as we were. It is gratifying to have my art fan out into another State. What a great way to start off a new year. As a perk for delivering this sculpture, the couple prepared a fabulous New Year's Day feast which included herb grilled red snapper, cheese grits and baked sweet potato cuboids. We also stopped in for tapas at "Si" a new restaurant in town.

A Maze in Steel

This saw blade has a 52” diameter and is 1/8” thick. First I draw my design with soapstone, like chalk it is easy to erase, until I get a design I like. Once I am happy with the design, I go over it with a permanent marker for steel. Now I am ready to proceed with my plasma cutter, which slices through steel like budda!

my great score

On our trip North we drove over 3,300 miles visiting family, finding saw blades, and searching for the elusive buoys. After a year of research, the score was found way down east in Maine. They are identical to the one I found on Cape Cod and used to create my sculpture which is shown on my Sept. 28th entry.

opening reception at New Bern, NC

The Craven Arts Council really knows how to throw a party! This week, I moved my Circulus sculpture from the River Sculpture festival in Ashville to New Bern, NC where it will be on exhibit until Sept. 08. I feel honored to have my work included in this international show. The juror, Carla Hanzal, Curator of Contemporary Art, the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, NC, selected 10 pieces from 80 entries for this year's outdoor show. I enjoyed talking with the other artists during the weekend events.
