Free March Workshop, Pod People Reunion and More!

What a treat to have a mini reunion with the work of Beth Reitmeyer and Chip Boles, 2 of my fellow Pod People from last summer’s Modular Art Pods Event at OZ Arts! We all had pieces in the Hall of Lanterns at the Nashville Lantern Festival earlier this month; it was fun seeing 2 of my lanterns tucked in-between some of Beth’s Geodes and having “Steve” point the way to my 6-foot lantern at the end of the hall.

Art & Nature Adventures Are Coming!

Fantastic news – I just received THRIVE funding from the Metro Arts Commission for Art & Nature Adventures, a series of programs I’m developing in connection with the Bellevue and Richland Park Branches of the Nashville Public Library; I’ll have more details to share about this next month!

This is a closeup of an amazing sassafras tree I saw in the Hill Forest – it’s the inspiration for my entry in an upcoming show to benefit Warner Parks; it opens March 31st, so mark your calendar!

Here’s the first page of Spicebush Dreams, an origami book I’m creating as my entry for The Cabinet of Insect Dreams. Karen Anne Klein and Barrett Antony Klein have designed a special cabinet to house a library of artists’ books on this topic; it’ll be part of a Cabinet of Curiosities installation in Pleasant Ridge, Michigan. Can’t wait to see the catalog and find out what everyone else did!
