As part of their Columbus Arts Festival coverage, the June issue of CityScene Magazine includes a 4-page article about me and fellow photog Frank Kozarich. We're two of nine artists selected to participate in the festival's Emerging Artists program. Check out the magazine at newsstands or at THIS LINK.
See you at the festival! Friday - Sunday, June 7-9 starting at 11am. I'm in booth #80 on Rich Street, just east of Civic Center Drive.
Sad news. My little bird, Blueberry Sparkles (also known lovingly as The Blue Menace), passed away last month. He was a fearless little guy, harrassing the cat and arguing with the “outside” birds through the window. He enjoyed picnics, road trips & camping, taking naps in my pocket, going to Graeter’s for ice cream, and having “Sparklecakes” (his favorite pancakes) for breakfast get-togethers on the porch with our friend, Andrew. If you met him you know he was practically inseparable from my shoulder, and it truly feels like I’ve lost a limb. He is greatly missed.
Catching up... here's a photo of my booth at last fall's ART FAIR IN YELLOW SPRINGS. What a great first experience doing a festival. A big thank you to everyone who helped in one way or another: John & the kids, Vicki & Tom, and Lisa & Clay for all their help with building, lending me tools & trucks, and setting up & taking down... to Lisa Goldberg for putting together a great event... and especially to all the folks who stopped by to visit. It was wonderful to see old friends, make new ones, and be inspired by the work of other exhibiting artists. Hopefully I'll be able to set up shop again this year.
This spring's news is that I was accepted into the big COLUMBUS ARTS FESTIVAL!! Very excited about this. I'll be at the riverfront in booth 80R from June 7 through the 9th. More details to come.
