Artist In Residence

Usually, I am the one behind the lens. This month the tables were turned and I found myself in front of the lens! It was great fun though.

Robert Bunch photographed me for the Artist In Residence column in the Far North Dallas issue of the September 2007 Advocate Magazine, pages 8 & 9. Alyson Hall did a great job distilling everything I said into a great article.

But wait, there is more! Marlena Chavira-Medford, Editor of the Preston Hollow & Far North Dallas editions of the Advocate magazine, and Can Turkyilmaz, Photo Editor, came out and video taped me for the September Video of the Month. They were great to work with and made the interviews and photo shoots painless.

Member Profile Article

I am featured in the Member Profile column of the June 2007 issue of BrushStrokes, the newsletter of the Texas Visual Art Association (TVAA). The profile was written by Katrina Doran, who when she is not writing the Member Profile column, is a great Mosaicist and Sculptor. Katrina made the interview very painless and did a great job on the article.

Interpretations Exhibit at The Jung Center Gallery

The Jung Center Gallery is presenting my exhibit,
Interpretations, in the main gallery May 2-26, 2007. This exhibit features photographic transfers and lifts that are a fusion between photography and paintings. The use of glasses, goggles and lenses represent the filters each of us looks through as we interpret the surrounding world stimulate our imagination.

The side gallery will feature Beryl Striewski’s exhibit, Pop Archetypes. Beryl Striewski’s quirky portrayals bring to life various archetypes made popular by Carl Jung. Using friends as subjects, Beryl closely matches her friend’s personalities to typical archetypes for a more interesting and compelling interpretation of “the Portrait.”

The Artist Reception is Saturday, May 12, 2007, from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. Both Beryl and I will attend. I am looking forward to catching up with my Houston friends. If you are in Houston be sure to stop by for art and conversation.

The Jung Center is located in the museum district, next to the The Contemporary Arts Museum and across the street from The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Digital Art Exhibition

Three of my digital artworks were juried into the Digital Art Exhibition presented by the Texas Visual Art Association.







Two of the artworks, Do Not Feed the Birds #1 & #2, were taken at Bachman Lake on the Northwest side of Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas. There are large signs discouraging visitors from feeding the birds, as it is a danger to aircraft. People were everywhere with bags of stale bread feeding the birds and having a great time. One person bemoaned the fact that she had forgotten to bring some bread for the birds. No one even noticed the signs. Or maybe they were merely ignoring them.
