A Busy Week

"Stitch" opened at The Reston Arts Center on the 16th, then I took off for Fort Lauderdale, where I was a visiting artist at Broward College. I gave a talk on Thursday the 23rd (they tell me they videotaped it and it will available on YouTube some time this week), and a condensed, 3 hr version of my Visual Voice Workshop on Friday the 24th.

I have lined up a 2-day Dig Deep: Visual Voice Workshop with The Art Armory in West Palm Beach for 2015, and a Publicity Hat Workshop that we are hoping to schedule for 2014.

"Une Femme D'Un Certain Âge", 2014, 33 x 22", grey hair of many women embroidered on black cotton. Working photos. This work will be at the "Stitch" group exhibition along with 14 other works, opening tomorrow at The Greater Reston Arts Center in Reston, VA. 

 

 This is the catalog for the exhibition, with a detail of "Heart Center" on the cover!
