Gallery 421 Opening Tonight from 6-9 PM

Well, the weather could not be worse...but we are opening the Gallery 421 tonight despite the weather. I am going to be there unless they close the Causeway during the day. I have walked around and looked at the other artists' work in the Gallery...and there are some really beautiful and different pieces here. If you get a chance, come by and see us all, located at 421 Columbia Street in Covington.

My Art in New Gallery on Northshore

I am excited to be included in a new gallery of artists in the Gallery 421 located at 421 Columbia Street in old Covington, LA. This is a great building that has been refurbished to include a hundred artists with their original art work for sale - all under one roof. I share a wall with one of my good friends, Robin Daning who paints on white dominos and then creates wonderful assemblages with them. Check out her website: www.robindaning.com Here are some pictures of Robin and me the day we hung our work and some of our pieces.

What's Coming Up?

I have taken the summer off...this heat just kills me with headaches. Been working on some new stuff. New Orleans nostalgia of course...my favorite. My wonderful aunt in Gulfport, MS found just the greatest b/w pix of my cousin, brother and me sitting in the big clown at Pontchartrain Beach with the ferris wheel in the background circa 1950s. This is just SCREAMING at me to make something out of it. And one of my brother and me with our Easter baskets - all dressed in our Easter outfits. Just too sweet. That one means nothing to anyone but my brother and me.

Also learning about a wax process called encaustic art...reallllly cool... can only have it displayed in cooler weather....cause I think it would melt big time. Wait till you see this stuff... very nice.

I have applied to the Po-boy Festival in November on Oak Street and the Blues BBQ put on by the Jazz Festival Foundation in Lafayette Square Park in October. Will let you know if I am accepted. Hope so. Also will re-apply to Jazz Fest. That was sooo much fun...and I learned a lot about booth design there.

I will be back at the Arts Market of New Orleans the last Saturday in September, 2009. Come see me there.

Have a good summer...going to White Linen night too!!

Sandra Bullock Assemblage Follow-Up

So, I got to meet Sandra Bullock, shake hands with her and talk to her for a few minutes. She loved the assemblage I made for her, which is pictured in the blog below. I found out, her restaurant in Austin TX is called BessBistro and its logo is the crossed legs with striped stockings of this photograph of EJ Bellocq. And this same photo hangs above the fireplace in her restaurant. So I could not have chosen a more perfect photograph for the piece I made for her.

I was very pleased that she liked it so much, and some day hope to make a trip to Austin and eat at her restaurant to check out my art piece there.

If you are ever in Austin, go check it out for me and let me know!
