The Pop Shop Gallery (www.popshopgallery.com) in Lakewood is having an opening reception from 6-9 on Saturday, Sept. 4 for its upcoming group show, “Let’s Go”. This will be my first time exhibiting (with seven pieces) at this really cool, hip gallery and I’m excited! Dress for the reception is casual, expect a crowd and the party continues two doors down at Mullen’s. Hope to see you there!

June 7-July 4 in downtown Akron
“Creatures” is the theme of my solo exhibit at Akron’s Metro Intremodal Transit Authority Center on South Broadway, otherwise known as the “cool new bus terminal.” The fun 12-piece exhibit is a mishmash of different media and includes my two newest pieces, “Caterpillars 3″ and “One Crazy Summer”.
Artists can be as “green” as anyone else: for proof, check out the Artists Archives of the Western Reserves’ upcoming juried show, “Seeing Green: Creating Art in an Era of Sustainability.” Two of my new “FoUNd & Fresh” pieces were accepted into the show (yay!): That Girl and Missed Again, so my husband and I are planning to be at the opening reception this Friday, June 11 from 5-8 (regular gallery hours are W-F 10-4 and Saturdays 12-4, 1834 E. 123rd St.) The gallery is a stone’s throw away from the heart of University Circle, so before the opening, my husband and I are going to try to do the “A Little Afternoon Music” thing at the Cleveland Botanical Garden. Every Friday until August 27 from 2-5 you can enjoy live music, made-to-order sushi (not for me, but my husband will be thrilled!) and a cash bar on the patio (unless it rains, then they’ll move the shindig indoors). I’m looking forward to it! Those outdoor gardens are a slice of heaven!
UPDATE: Yesterday my husband and I did get to catch “A little afternoon music” at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, and it was a slice of heaven. The only problem was that we were only there a little more than an hour. My husband had never been to the outdoor gardens, and it was tough choosing between sitting on the patio listening to the fine sounds of Larry Hancock, or taking in the beauty of the gardens. We did both, not doing justice to either, but something is still better than nothing. I loved watching the people in the audience enjoy the music, the gardens, each other … and just being alive. 
Afterward, my husband and I went to the opening reception of the “Seeing Green” exhibit. The show was really good and I was very proud to be a part of it. I met some of the other artists, and quickly became a fan of Tiffany Laufer, an author and award-winning filmmaker. She wrote a wonderful children’s book called “Porch Dreams” about a dog who lives his dreams and even learns to recycle — how could you not like her?

My FoUNd and Fresh show at the North Water Street Gallery in Kent has been extended through Saturday, June 5. That’s the day of Kent’s big Wine & Art Festival (http://www.mainstreetkent.org/artandwine.pdf), running 12-10, so after you check that out, you can come say “hi” to me during my show’s closing reception from 3 to 5. The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday 1-5; free admission.
kind of sort of. On Sunday, May 16, Night and Day 2002 was shown on CBS Sunday Morning around 10:25 a.m. as one of the sun images which flash between news segments. CBS has 14 of my sun images, so hopefully this was the first of many they’ll be showing in the coming months!
There are a zillion items on there made by people from all over the world. Make it a zillion + 11: I’ve just put my mirrors up for sale on etsy; more originals to come.

but I thank all who came to the opening reception of my FoUNd & Fresh show at the North Water Street Gallery on Saturday night. It was great to visit with old friends and meet many new ones! Standing Rock Cultural Center’s Facebook page is doing a great job of promoting the show which runs Thursdays-Saturdays 1-5 through May 29:
