New Exhibitions

"Day Tripper"

High Fire Enamels,sgraffito

15"H x 15"W

Well, there are several new exhibitions on the horizon. I am currently in the Invitational Exhibit at Kittrell/Riffkind Art Glass in Dallas, Texas. I really enjoy working with this gallery.

Also, the opening reception for "Glass Canvases by Terrie Corbett" will be October 19th at Thomas Eads Fine Art from 6:00pm until 9:00 pm here in Tallahassee, FL. I am looking forward to that also.

It has been a busy year so far. We participated in the Chain of Parks Exhibit, Creative Tallahasee (where one of my pieces received an honorable mention), A Glass Act (the exhibit I curated), The Artists' League Exhibit at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts, a one woman exhibit at Fabreana's, and then Chuck and I were the featured artists at South of Soho, an artists co-op, back in May. Later in the summer, I participated in an invitational entitled "Love Your Mother" a discourse on the environment at the LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts.

Til Later!

"A Glass Act" May through August 2007 Florida Capitol

I am delighted to report that "A Glass Act," the exhibition that I proposed and curated for the Division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State, was very well received by the public. It featured 16 regional artists. Many visitors were able to see the exhibition this summer when they visited Florida's Capitol. The 22nd Floor Gallery is a beautiful space - glass enclosed with a panoramic view of the city and surrounding areas. I was interviewed by the Tallahassee Democrat, our local paper, and received a two page article in the Sunday Arts Section (it included 5 photos)! The publicity for my own work and for the exhibition itself was greatly appreciated. We also received TV coverage. The exhibit conveyed the diversity in the manipulation of glass from concept through design, technique, and final resolution. The exhibition featured stained glass (as demonstrated in free-standing panels, contemporary lamps and wall pieces), enameled jewelry and larger enameled wall hangings, kiln-fired glass (sculpture, decorative platters, and pieces for the wall), mosaics with fused inclusions and tumbled glass, kiln-fired glass paintings (or glass canvases) using high-fire enamels, lampworked beads, and sandcarved glass sculpture and a sandcarved decorative furniture and wall pieces.

It was a pleasure working with the artists in the exhibition. I think everyone was pleased with the event.

Our 40th Anniversary Celebration

On July 15, 2007, we celebrated our 40th anniversary with a re-affirmation of our vows. The celebration was held at Oven Park in Tallahassee. There were 70 guests in attendance. Music was provided by the Tantalus Classical Guitar Quartet and the event was catered by Bella Bella. Our dear friend, Patty, officiated at the exchange and renewal ceremony. During the reception, my husband surprised me with a Nancy Reid Gunn wax encaustic painting entitled "Song for Another Planet." It was truly one of the great surprises of my life! We had a wonderful time with family and friends. In the photo on the bridge from left to right - my husband, Chuck, me, my Mom, and my brother Monty.
