Here is one of the entries I am less likely to expand.
I find it too similar to some of my previous work.

The Sketchbook Project: Page 1

My Sketchbook has been sent in--Hello Brooklyn!
This is Page 1, and I think this idea may warrant expansion in both scale and imagery. Unfortunately, I do not feel the same about some of my entries...But that is why they are in a sketchbook, right?!?!

Photo from Take the Day

I found this photo on the Washington Pavilion's website today whilst updating my CV for collegiate employment application season.

Info on Take the Day and the associated exhibition, Remains of the Day, here.

Drawn Together Update!

Here is my work in the Drawn Together Exhibition at the Siena Art Institute in Siena, Italy. If you don't remember, a close-up of the artwork I sent in is included (Title: Diadema).

The Sketchbook Project

I have signed up for the The Sketchbook Project as an individual artist and I am in the process of signing up all of the students in my studio courses at Northland Community and Technical College.

Hopefully we will be able to have a sketchbook send-off reception to showcase the hard work and dedication of said art students at the end of the semester.

The sketchbooks will be part of a traveling exhibition in the following cities:
Brooklyn, NY

Boston, MA

Chicago, IL

San Francisco, CA

Atlanta, GA

Austin, TX

Los Angeles, CA

Philadelphia, PA

Portland, OR

Portland, ME

Vancouver, Canada

Toronto, Canada

It will be my first time exhibiting in...all of these places. It will also break the (exhibition) ice for many talented art students in northwestern Minnesota.

I am excited! Stay tuned...

Another WIP! Yuch! (sarcasm)

Here is a photo I took of a work-in-progress--and you know how much I enjoy posting WIP's. It is still not finished, though it is quite a bit further along than this pic. Obviously I have begun using xerography in my work. Additionally, I have been working quite a bit larger as of late, so Artworks have not been getting resolved as quickly as similar smaller works did.

This is also similar to the work I completed at Take the Day 2011 (Yeah! Pics ASAP!), this will end up being a diptych or two separate works bound forever (haven't decided yet)...perhaps by a ring...

Take the Day 2011

I will be participating in Take the Day 2011 at the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science on October 1st, 2011. I am a first-time participant, and I am eager to experience the dynamic of open studio production in the presence of so many great Artists.

I would like to extend special thanks to T.J. Donovan, Jodi Lundgren, David Merhib, and all of the staff at the Visual Arts Center at the Pavilion for all of their hard work.

Exhibition in Italy

My last blog entry, Diadema, will be in an exhibition at the Siena Art Institute in Italy opening September 24. Diadema will also "...be collected into a bound portfolio to remain in the collection of the Siena Art Institute Library."
