Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant

Hi! Been awhile since I posted and have great news. I was awarded a $15,000 art grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation to help with living expenses for a year and continuing my art career.

I haven't wasted anytime stirring things up. I've done two festival shows this summer and my art has been accepted into the World Fantasy Convention Art Show, Oct 28-31, Columbus OH.
I've also been applying for several huge art festivals in the southeast for next year.

Busy in the studio too. Through this grant I was able to get some much needed supplies. Right now framing some new pieces and already excited about the next collage I plan to make.
Any of you that have known me for awhile knows I was freezing in this old house last year! With a possibility of getting approved for some insulation through the state weatherization program and this grant I am optimistic about being warm enough to be creative all winter! The studio only has one electrical outlet and using a power strip, so getting that fixed..more light! I am so looking forward to making art and scheduling lots of shows!

Finally there's a time consuming project of updating my website. Will be able to accept credit cards and it just needs some tweaking.

Oh..stay tuned..

What originally got me started in my collage art was an altered book I made. I plan to feature it here soon.

Thanks for visiting!

I am the Official Prilosec OTC Collage Artist!

Hi! A few months ago I won a sponsorship from Prilosec OTC to buy a festival tent! They sent me a check for $1000. WOW. Part of my obligation to winning this generous prize was to keep a blog on their site about how this is helping me reach my goals as an artist.
I bought a Trimline tent from Flourish and am wrote about putting up the tent for the first time. I'll continue to write about my experiences as I work on my display, apply for shows etc and provide some photos.
For my friends who are showing at festivals or thinking about it I hope you may find some useful information and would love to share stories with you either here or at the Prilosec OTC site.
Thanks!

I won! Festival tent soon!

Thanks everyone for your support. I won a $1000 sponsorship to buy a festival tent and fees to start doing art shows from Prilosec OTC.! Looking into tents now and know for sure I have a least one show lined up, maybe two. I'll be keeping a blog on their site about my experience with art shows and the new tent.

It's that time of year to be catching up on yard work so really busy. Plan to be posting up pics from my altered book soon though :)

love ya and see ya soon

Hey, I play guitar too!

Hello Friends! I just posted up a profile for a chance to play guitar at the 2010 Eric Clapton Guitar festival in Chicago this June. Votes are welcome, playing there would be a total freak out fun thing to do. But even if you don't vote, sure would like to share my guitar playing with everyone and there are mp3s there to listen to. Thanks!
