I have a new series of work, 200 Central Park West  at the Riverside Arts Center Docent Exhibit this month!

It is a further look into my fascination with DNA, mystery, and identity and incorporates new explorations into fibers, specifically hand-dyed fabric and embroidery.

Hope you can get out to have a look at mine and the other docent artists!

It was a wonderful semester abroad!  I have thousands of pictures and almost as many new ideas!  There’s lots to be done especially create a mask and attend The Ann Arbor Women Artists Venetian Masked Ball on February 11th!  The evening is in celebration of AAWA’s 60th anniversary and is open to the public.   Follow the link for more information – Hope to see you there!

We’re having a fantastic time and spent the weekend wandering through Arts Kreuzberg – an open studio and arts festival!  Very inspiring!

Hope you’ll come out and support the Riverside Arts Center Gallery this Friday, June,10th for Ypsi Style- a fashion show right in the middle of the gallery!    From high fashion to over the top costumes, hurry and get your ticket!

Also enjoy  Cathryn Amidel ‘s  Y-Collective: Collapse, Skin, Energy” exhibit, outstanding pieces in a playful yet thought – provoking exhibit!

I was honored that the gallery director asked for some of my work to be displayed at the gift shop during this exhibit!  Hope you’ll take a peek during the show!

Last night, artist and juror, Jen Seibert, addressed a standing room only audience at the AAWA Spring Exhibit reception.  Jen’s  talk , “What makes a piece of art interesting and captivating”,  delivered in her intelligent, thoughtful and humorous style, held the crowd in rapt attention!  She generously  stayed long  after wards, answering questions and chatting with many artists and guests.

The show is beautiful! 95 works of both 2-D and 3-D art fill the multi-purpose room as well as the third floor of the library.  This is an exhibit you will want to see more than once!

I’m excited to announce that my piece “Signs that Might be Omens (totem)” was accepted into the Ann Arbor Women Artists Spring Juried Exhibit!

Artists’ Reception is on April 1st from 6:30-8:30 at the AAPL Downtown.  The exhibit runs through April 28th.  Stop in and see 90 works of art from member artists of all media!

Saturday April 2nd,  5-7 pm, is the opening reception for the  7th Annual Docent Exhibit at the Riverside Arts Center.  Come and see the artwork by the Gallery’s docents and enjoy music by local jazz musicians!  The show runs through April 30th.
