Summer is Here!

Remembering
High fire enamels on kiln-fired float glass

Well, here comes summer! We went to our nephew's wedding in Asheville, NC last weekend. The weather was perfect. Then when we came back, we found out that it is still nice here. The humidity is low and there is a slight breeze.

I am still working on pieces for upcoming exhibitions:

The Women's Exhibition sponsored by the Florida Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts at the airport gallery, "Go Green" by the Artists' League at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts, and the Soulmates exhibition at LeMoyne. I am excited about the work for the Featured Artists series at Kittrell/Riffkind and I am working toward that event. My Pillars Projects are completed and already in place at local businesses.

I have 6 pieces at The Bender Gallery in Asheville. It is a beautiful space and we enjoyed our visit there last weekend.

Well, it is time to get busy! Have a good evening. Come back soon!

Good times ahead!

The weather is suppose to be beautiful this weekend. ! We are looking forward to a visit from my brother and his wife. Then we will celebrate Mother's Day on Saturday night. Chuck, my husband, will cook dinner for us all. I may prepare a little dessert. It will be a lot of fun.

We are also looking forward to our nephew's wedding next weekend. The rehearsal dinner is Friday night and the wedding is Saturday.

The statewide juried event FSAS ( Florida Seniors Art Showcase) will open in galleries around the Capital City next week. I will have work at The 621 Gallery and at the LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts.

The Pillars Project, a fund raiser for LeMoyne, has also been put in place. The pieces from different artists are placed in businesses around town. They will be on display all summer. Then, in September at the University Club, they will be auctioned off. There will be maps of the businesses where the artwork is located, so that people can stop by to see them.

In June, artists for the FL Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts will have an exhibition at the Artport Gallery. Then in August, I will have work in the Soul Mates exhibition at LeMoyne. Later that month, I will be one of the featured artists at Kittrell/Riffkind Art Glass in Dallas, Texas.

I'm excited to get back in the studio and try out my new kiln. We drove to the Jen Ken Factory a couple of weeks ago when they had finished building it, to pick it up. It was fun to see all of those new kilns being built!

Well, I'd better go for now. I hope everyone has a very Happy Mother's Day!

'Til later.
