The month of February "God's Eternal Flame" was at La Familia Gallery in their exhibit titled "Reinventing the Wheel" , http://www.lafamiliagallery.org/ . Met artist Kelly Clark at the artist reception on the 4th and later purchased a piece of hers titled "Our Lady of Quiet Tidings."
On February 20th I volunteered for the Artist Trust Auction at the Seattle Center, Fisher Pavillion. Lots of fun, great attendance and a very successful fundraiser for Artist Trust.
March News
In March I am exhibiting "God's Eternal Flame" in Art/Not Terminal Gallery in Seattle.
Also in March I branched out in my art by resurrecting a beautiful cherry wood rocking chair, probably from the 20's, for the nonprofit Northwest Furniture Bank. After gluing, filling, painting and re-upholstering - I donated my chair, titled "Resurrection Day" to The Chair Affair, NW Furniture Bank's charity auction, http://chairaffair.org/hairaffair.org/ I am grateful to Dave and June Scott for donating the print for my piece "The Cross of Christ" both on canvas for upholstering and on a t-shirt for me to wear the evening of the gala auction.
Tacoma Art Museum. Fun!!
