January 17, 2023 - How time flies! I’ve had a great time over the past few months working on Adobe InDesign projects with the help of expert friends Cleo and Ellen, trying to put Firecracker, my juvenile novel out into the world and trying to design a new project that will combine art and writing in some sort of interesting mishmash!
After a month-long show of abstract acrylics at the Norman Westside Library, I entered a print, “Phone Call,” at the Paseo Art Center (sold) and they’ve accepted “Air,” a 20 x 20 abstract multimedia for their member show starting February 3, 2023. All good news. It’s fun to talk to people about what you’ve done and listen to their ideas about it.
The Norman Depot has put on a monthlong Emerging Artist show starting last Friday the 13th! Good luck for me, though, because they included three of my abstracts, two monotypes with Inks, and one multimedia called “Hidden Woman.”
I’m thinking of ways to do more monotypes—I’m highly entertained by the process, and also am zeroing in on another venture, something mostly two-dimensional, but in a slightly raised frame to accommodate collage items. Hope I get to it soon.
Finally, after several years of watching the Artspace (Oklahoma City) Steamroller event, I’ve enrolled it myself! I have all my tools and supplies in hand and can’t wait to design and start carving the woodblock that will be “Printed” by the street steamroller pressing it into the pavement. Wow - no time to rest. There is so much I want to do and the days are just too short (especially when I want my noon “creative time” nap! Looking forward to seeing all of you around town. Be safe, healthy, happy, and peaceful!
