This is a great theme for a show. Gallery artists were asked to create pieces having to do with fortunes found in fortune cookies. My fortune was "Stay close to your inner self. You will benefit in many ways". Here are the three pieces I created for the show:

I was recently featured as one of the 21 Artists Under 31 to Collect Now by Southwest Art Magazine in September, 2010. Here is the link.

YAY! I just found out I will be featured in Southwest Art Magazine's 21 Artists under 31 competition publication!

Dear, Dear Readers. I am so, so sorry to have let you down on any news that may be going on with me (not that I think ANY of you are losing sleep over it...)
Well, FIRST... I 'm updating my blog, thanks to a comment this morning by the fabulous Mr. Cannon who said that he was sorely disappointed that I had not been writing, and de-fanned my blog. So there! :)
Also, I will be doing a PORTRAIT PAINTING DEMONSTRATION on June 19th from noon-5pm at Art Warehouse (man, I love these guys...). I will also try to have it up online, so check back here for a link. I will be painting the model all day, so please come by and take photos, have a coffee, maybe ask a question or two, and if all else fails, bring a ripe tomato with you if I do a REALLY horrible job. $50 a seat for all 5 hours. Attendees may come and go as they please.  PLEASE COME!
 WHAT ELSE??  I'm also teaching some new classes, so go to my "workshop" page for more info (witty, ey?). I have a lot of upcoming dates (dates are always good) of where I will be showing some of my new work (artamajig, the Hunter Museum, GPS...) so please stay tuned! I promise I will be better about not leaving you all in the dark! Thanks!

Come get your mug painted! I will be painting from 10 a.m to 2p.m at Pasha's Coffee House (3914 Saint Elmo Avenue, Chattanooga, TN, 37408) this saturday. I can't promise it will look like you (or human, for that matter), but it's fun, and hey, it MAY look a bit like you, in which case you can buy it for.... a donation!  I would like to keep the sketches until I exhibit all of them together, so you will have to check back with me on when this will be.  Wear your rags, pajamas, prom dresses, whatever!
