across the universe

I and fellow artists Fran Gardner (fiber and painting) and Cheryl Bogdanowitsch (sculptor), who are exhibiting together at the Harris Gallery of the Art League of Daytona Beach in March 2010, have started a blog, inviting public comments and critiques as our work progresses. Please follow it at: http://a-crosstheuniverse.blogspot.com/ and provide your input.

summer time is here

This month, two of my figurative pieces are being shown at the Art League of Daytona Beach, in its annual juried human figure show. The exhibition opened on June 28th and runs through the end of July. One of these works, Woman Emerging From Shadows, captured 3rd Place. More than 150 pieces of art and sculpture can be seen in this show, which was open to all Florida artists. The ALDB, one of the oldest art organizations in central Florida, is located at 433 S. Palmetto Ave., Daytona Beach.

On July 19th, the opening reception of a juried exhibition of the Florida Chapter-National Museum for Women in the Arts will be held at the new Gateway Art Center, 17-92 & Saxon Blvd, Debary. All are welcome to attend the reception, which will be held between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.. This exhibition runs through August 16th.
