ARTIST TRUST AT LARGE

On July 7th I will be giving my first Artist Trust presentation to a group of Olympia artists as part of the newly formed program titled "Artist Trust At Large". Here is a flyer of this presentation. If you are in that area and wish to learn more about Artist Trust - please feel free to join the group - this is a free event

"CELEBRATION"
WASHINGTON STATE CONVENTION CENTER

AN ARTIST TRUST EXHIBIT

SHOWCASES 9 YEARS OF ARTIST TRUST EDGE GRADUATES

I was invited to help curate this upcoming Artist Trust exhibit.  Woo Hoo!!!

The Washington State Convention Center in Seattle invited Artist Trust to hang a show in their public gallery space from July 21st through October 21st 2012.  Artist Trust decided to showcase their EDGE program graduates. I am a 2008 EDGE grad myself.

Actually, in 9 years of EDGE there have been over 450 graduates from this wonderful program - but 450 artists to curate is a lot of work!!!!  There are several of us working on this divided up by year.  I am curating years 2006-2008.  Curators and the AT staff person overseeing us are:

MalPina Chan in Olympia,

Dayton Knipher in Tacoma,

Cathy Sarkowsky in Seattle

Natasha Marin also in Seattle,

Exhibit Intern, Lisa Pollman and

Nichole DeMent - Artist Trust Program Manager

This has been so much fun and I love seeing all the art coming through cyberspace. 

More on this event as the jury process begins and final art is chosen.

Happy Birthday Today

My birthday has been going very well today.  Just created a new piece,
am enjoying my fun kitties,
my birthday roses from years past are in full bloom,
gotten love and wishes from friends and family, and will pamper myself this afternoon.
Plus the transit of Venus is happening on my birthday - a noteworthy celestial event!

won't see that again for another 150 years
I'm inspired by using my mug "Jesus - the gift of Hope"
Yes, indeed our hope is in Jesus. Amen

Doesn't get any better than that
