Lots to be grateful for!
It's been awhile since I've posted. Truth be known, I've been hibernating in my studio for the last 4 months, developing new work, delivering it to my galleries, planning upcoming retreats and workshops, writing grants, having curators and artist friends visit. Alas, spring is here and I am grateful for many good things that are happening...
Most recently I was awarded a Maine Arts Commission Artist Visibility Grant that will provide me with funds to create professional exhibition proposal packets for gallery and museum exhibits of a new body of work I'm developing. Here's a sneak peak two of my newest pieces. Both are on view at the an exhibit titled The Wandering Mind at the Sharon Arts Center in Peterborough, NH.
Last month, I received the Portsmouth Press Herald's Spotlight Award for Best Sculpture. This event recognizes local creatives from all disciplines for their contribution to arts in the Seacoast. The award ceremony at the Portsmouth Music Hall was lively and entertaining and I was honored to be recognized by my own community. Thanks Seacoast!

Corey Daniels was among those one who paid me a studio visit this spring and I'm pleased to now be represented by his gallery. The Corey Daniels Gallery in Wells, Maine now has 13 of my large sculptures and encaustic works. Corey's aesthetic is top notch as is his gallery. If you haven't visited yet, go.

Last but not least, I'm really excited to have be exhibiting in Cusco, Peru along with my fellow Boston Sculptors in February, 2014. It's been a longtime dream to visit Machu Picchu and I'm so excited to have the change to finally go!
