Moved and Settling In

by | Aug 10, 2011 | News & Events

Hello Internet world. I’ve been absent from my blog for the last week because I’ve been relocating muhself. I’ve got every room set up except for my workroom which is currently in shambles, and I keep finding ‘better’ things to do so as to avoid it, I suppose. Tomorrow morning is THE morning because I can’t put off the work that I have to get done for commissions and art fairs any longer. Random information: I’m accessing the internet through my cell phone signal right now.. still haven’t gotten the ol’ interweb access hooked up. That comes Friday.

In the meantime, the exhibit I’m in titled “Scratch, Sprinkle, Cut: Conversations in Black and White” opened last friday at the Carnegie Cultural Center in Ottawa, KS. I have 10 black and white paper cuttings and they’re hanging along with the works of artists Lora Jost and Azyz Sharafy. I’ll post more images of my work included as soon as I get some real internet access. Until then…

Carrier – Cut Paper Art

8 x 10 inch paper cutting. Part of my exhibit at the Carnegie Cultural Center in Ottawa, KS. This one was somewhat inspired my my move. I got the keys to my new place yesterday and started moving stuff in today. An early morning awaits me tomorrow as I try to get everything that’s still left… and then time to set up my workspace.. It’s taken me two years to get my current one functional and now I’m uprooting. Hopefully more space = more productivity? We’ll see..

Gifts From The Sun – Cut Paper Art

8 x 10 inch paper cutting.

I’ve got 10 new works ready for the Scratch, Sprinkle, Cut: Conversations in Black & White exhibit and I’m off to deliver them today. I decided that for this exhibit, I wanted to draw inspiration from more traditional folk art from eastern Europe, and that’s what I did, which may or may not be evident.. Anyway, busy few days ahead as I also make my big move into a roomier place an hour away from where I’m currently at, and try to get setup asap so I don’t lose too big of a chunk of time out of my work schedule. Several commissions and prep for the Plaza Art Fair coming up next. I’ll also be updating my Etsy shop with lots of new prints and cards and a few other things, so stay tuned.

This crazy summer heat is getting to us all. The last image is a bonus image, possibly stomach turning for some, from my driveway of a dead male Dobson Fly. I’ve never seen nor heard of these and found out through my Golden Nature Guide that it was not, in fact, extraterrestrial.
