    Special Thanks to the Residency Project

    I met some very highly spirited and spiritual people during my Artist Residency through the Residency Project. I also had the opportunity to experience the sparkling and pure light of southern California. Most of all, I had clear mental space in which I could explore my work daily for the duration of the residency.
    Thank you Residency Project!

  • ArtPrize 10

    ArtPrize 10

    I was selected by Grand Valley Artists of Grand Rapids, Michigan, to exhibit with them for ArtPrize 10. "Arise," pictured here, is my entry. It was created using gold and silver leaf, enamel and acrylic paint, a mirror and birch panels. If you are in Grand Rapids, Michigan during the duration of ArtPrize 10 (September 19 - October 7th) stop by Grand Valley Artists Exhibit at the Water Treatment Facility.

    What is ArtPrize?

    According to the website, ArtPrize is an open, independently organized international art competition which takes place for 19 days every other fall in Grand Rapids, Michigan. More than five hundred thousand dollars in prizes are awarded each year, which include a $200,000 prize awarded entirely by public vote and another $200,000 prize awarded by a jury of art experts.

    For me, it's been an incredible journey so far. I've had to cultivate more stamina than I thought I possessed. I've learned challenging, new techniques, such as working with gold leaf in a traditional manner. I've enjoyed praying and meditating to Medieval Music while I worked daily. The work was a physical, and an incredibly spiritual practice.
