Terra Nova: Polymer Art at the Crossroads…

Posted on by admin

 

What an incredible weekend! The exhibit Terra Nova:Polymer Art at the Crossroads opened at RAM in Racine Wisconsin. In conjunction with the show opening there was a symposium =Polymer: The Journey to the New Terrain, you read more about it here. It was fabulous to catch up with old friends and meet new ones…while considering the possibilities for artists working with polymer in the future.

I am thrilled to have six pieces in the exhibition and grateful for everything that Elise Winters has done to make the “Polymer Project” a viable,vibrant  ongoing reality.

Exploring the Enlightened Rainbow…

Posted on by admin

I am delighted to be returning to Maureen Carlson’s  Center for the Arts in Jordan Minnesota for a five day intensive workshop June 15th- 19th, 2011.

Exploring the Enlightened Rainbow: Embracing meditation, intuition and intention to design your color stories

Walking our artistic paths with wisdom and awareness is a sacred gift. While making a personal mediation walking stick you will explore the expressive and transformative gifts of color.

The seven colors of the chakra based energy system each reflect a different aspect of your being and life. For example, the root chakra is associated with the color red, and processes energies associated with grounding, your tribe and familial relationships.

Using guided meditations, intuitive collage exercises and intentional word association statements you will be exploring each of the seven major chakras, along with their specific gifts, as you build your power stick from the ground up. Continue reading “Exploring the Enlightened Rainbow…” →
