Farms & Barns Exhibition


The Farms and Barns Exhibition opening night was Friday evening at the Next Picture Show Gallery in Dixon IL.....Rather than jewelry (I had not created anything resembling a barn...although come to think of it....a corn husk in silver would be pretty cool)

...I had two of my photographs entered....16 x 20's on canvas....I love old barns and fields and always have my camera tucked away. We walked in an hour late as they were making their announcements...and lo and behold.

I received honorable mention for the photo above...named CORN SILK BLUES


I was stunned...as I was in the company of my many friends/artists....whom I admire so very much...Friend Jan Harvey's oil of a lush countryside took first place and just to be in the fine company of Bob Logsdon, Jan, Bev Garcia, Fred Bushnell, Rick Munson, Jane Cress Edgar and many more...well I was glowing!

DOS EQUIS XX : Women's Exhibition

I had two pieces accepted to this fabulous event!

RECEPTION FRIDAY MAY 1ST 6PM - 8 PM

Show runs May 1 through June 2, 2009

A celebration of the multiple dimensions of women. This show celebrates women artists. You know. The \"Bringing home the bacon and frying it up in a pan\" refrain that women from all generations have lived, some without even knowing it. Artwork will depict women or objects related to women with themes that include, but are not limited to, jobs, chores, childbearing, moments of humor in their lives, their friendships and their pleasures, meals, an embrace, beauty regimes, family, and, finally, at rest.

This show is sponsored by Diane Schnake of The Frameworks
and by Century 21 Alliance, 224 North Galena, Dixon.

Media: 2D, painting (all medium), photography, textiles/fiber, printmaking, graphic illustration, drawing, mixed media.
