And so the summer ends...    August 30 2010 As summer comes to a close, I would like to thank all of the wonderful students in my many classes over the past month. Our RV "magic mosaic tour" (lol) was wonderful. We started off at Art Unraveled in Phoenix, it was so nice to see old friends and wonderful to make new friends. It was hot, but that didn't stop anyone from enjoying themselves. I took an amazing workshop with Lisa Renner and that was a big treat to myself. Next stop was teaching to the Houston Polymer Clay Guild, though we had a few talented mosaic artists in the workshop as well! Many thanks to Patricia and Jill for putting that together. Next stop on the tour was Austin, you have to love that Keep Austin Weird vibe about the city. We camped in a pecan grove right in the middle of town! Had a fun time teaching at Suzan Germond's incredible mosaic studio. The last stop on the trip was teaching to the mixed media crowd at Stamp Antonio Arts in San Antonio. Carol and Amy went out of their way to extend a warm Texas welcome...it was a fantastic two days of workshops with many talented artists! So now that summer comes to a close, it is on to Fall adventures. First stop in 2 weeks is Valley Ridge in Wisconsin (there is still room!).....stay tuned! Here and there....    July 25 2010 So I missed June all together!Actually I spent most of June in Argentina which was great fun. Found a few cool doo-dads which will make an appearance in a new piece one of these days. I have added a few new pieces to the gallery. These will be going with me to the Art Unraveled vendor show in Phoenix. So we are heading to where it will be nice and toasty in the summer. First stop is Phoenix and then off to Texas! There is still room available in my Houston workshop. Austin is pretty much filled...and I am waiting to hear about San Antonio. If you have any questions about these workshops please email me. The next few months will be busy with travel and teaching gigs including an upcoming trip to France once again! Hope your summer is terrific. May Days....    May 19 2010 Not sure how most of May has already disappeared! Life has been crazy busy with travel as I have been to both Santa Fe and San Antonio the past two weekends and will also be visiting San Francisco too. As we head into the summer, things do slow down for me artistically. We will be taking the annual trip to Argentina early in the summer and that will be followed by Art Unraveled in early August. Yikes, Phoenix in the summer! After Phoenix, I will be teaching in Houston, Austin and San Antonio....so a busy schedule for Texas! For those of you who haven't seen the latest edition of Where Women Create-Book of Inspiration, my studio is featured on pages 68-71....Jenny Doh and Jo Packham did a great job of capturing those things that inspire and inform my work.
