Rest in Peace, Senator Kennedy

LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts, Glass, and the Mattie Kelly Arts Center are on my mind!

Singular Sensation

Well, it has been over a month since I jotted anything down! I have been busy preparing for an exhibit at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center on the NW Florida State campus in Niceville, FL near Fort Walton. There will be four glass artists displaying their work. We all work in a different fashion, so I am hopeful that it will be an interesting and varied exhibition. For anyone who may be in the area, the opening is on Friday September 11 from 5-7pm CST.

The Mattie Kelly Arts Center is a visual and a performing art space. There is a nice video tour of the center on the web.

Everything else is going well. My husband is helping me by fabricating the backs that go on my work. He does an excellent job of that! I really appreciate it. The critters are all doing well. My Mom has been working on her stained glass pieces and she is enjoying that. She is really doing a nice job!

I started a Face book page and that has been fun. I haven't been on there for very long, but I can see its value as a communication and networking tool.

Fall is in the air! It is still hot, but the students are returning to town, football will be cranking up soon and I'm certain that we will be experiencing some nice weather before too long.

Last month, in order to focus more on my own work, I felt it best to resign my position as Artists' Representative on the Board of Directors at the LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts. I am still an ardent supporter of LeMoyne and want to encourage those in the region to attend the wonderful exhibitions they will be mounting in the upcoming season. Please attend the Art and Soul Event which will be held at the University Center Club on September 24th. Make your reservations now! There will be a live and a silent auction,featuring artwork and things for the "soul." Dinner will be served and there will be awards and entertainment as well. It was a beautiful and successful event last year. This year the participants in the Windows Project will also have their work on display and for sale. Call LeMoyne today for ticket information!

Well, I have to go back to the studio. It seems the glass will neither cut, nor paint nor fire itself!

Til later!
