Featured Glass Exhibit at the Gallery

I am the featured artist at Gallery 809 this month and have created an exhibit entitled "Pattern Bars and Bowls".  The exhibit is a study in numerous glass techniques, including pattern bars and slabs, pot melts, mica inclusions, combing, and murini tubes.  The exhibit will run through the month of September with a special glass demonstration on Friday, 9/9 from 5-8 pm.

Ridgway Rendezvous - "Best in Glass"

I attended the Ridgway Rendezvous again this year and was completely surprised and delighted to have been awarded "Best in Glass" this year!  I displayed my series of bowls that are to be part of my Featured Artist event at the Gallery 809 in September and they brought that first place ribbon home!  The show was great as always.  I love the relaxed and casual environment--wish I could move my studio there.....

My Gallery Wall

Still working on filling my gallery wall and floor space but at least it looks like something now.  I can tell how much I am going to enjoy working at the gallery.  All of the artists are such lovely people and talent galore! 

The Gallery 809 in Glenwood Springs

I have been accepted into the fine arts Gallery 809 in Glenwood Springs!  I will start exhibiting in early February and hope to have a full display up by the beginning of March.  Very excited--can't wait!

Western Colorado Journeys

Expanding the Shop

Not only am I expanding the studio, I just received my new Evenheat GTS23-13 kiln!  I can now do large fusings and drapes.  My horizons have just expanded 10-fold.  I also wired it with a dedicated circuit so now more power failures.  Nothing worse that a tripped breaker right in the middle of annealing.  I just have to figure out how to move a 200 lb. kiln into place.....

Moving On Up--The Gallery

Exciting news!  The Midland Arts Company has invited me to show my fused glass art and glass mosaics at their gallery on East 3rd Street in historic downtown of Rifle, CO.  I will be displaying my painted, fused plates and fused bowls, along with small mosaic mirrors (when I get them completed).  I am so grateful to the artists at the gallery for allowing me the opportunity to show my work.  Thanks guys!

Booth Sittin'

Sitting in my booth at the Salida Riverside Art Fair.  Unfortunately the show was poorly attended--it was a shame too because there was so much great art.  Made some $$ despite the low turnout.  Hopefully by next year the word will have gotten around about its potential!

It's All About the Show!

A shot of my booth at Steamboat Springs, Art in the Park.  So much beautiful artwork in one place!  I just can't make those birdbaths fast enough...never even got a picture of Glass Fishpond.
