Succulent Palm

I was happy to be part of a recent group exhibit at The Edgewood Gallery in Dewitt, NY (outside of Syracuse, NY). Here are a couple of the pieces I had in the show. The one with the hand (entitled "Succulent Palm") was a very popular piece, but was the only one not for sale, as I had given it to my good friend Linnea for Christmas. A local neurologist offered to buy it (twice) because she liked it so much. A month later the piece was part of an exhibit at Sculpture Space (in Utica, NY) and, again, someone wanted to purchase it (but was not interested in the other pieces I had one exhibit). For some reason, the piece really speaks to some folks. Anyway, last week, my friend Linnea presented me with a gift which I love! She got on-line and found a place that would customize socks with submitted images; so she sent them an image of the collage. Very cool!

"Help"

I have been busy organizing and coating and cleaning and cutting. I am heading to Iceland for a week; but plan to be very productive upon my return. This is a piece I put together this week, entitled "Help".

MAY 2018

The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated... isn't that how the line goes. WOW... it's been WAY too long for me not to have posted on this site. My sincerest apologies to anyone who was following this site. It was one hell of a year in academia. I got lots of things accomplished; but it was way to stressful and there were lots of negative events. I am hoping to devote a good part of the summer of 2018 to artwork creation and to getting back to posting on this blog site. I just finished my piece for the upcoming annual postcard show of the National Collage Society (it needs to be in Ohio by Friday!). It's a "classic" Specht style with some nice elements that I have had around the studio for some time. I was under a bit of a time crunch, so I went with something comfortable for me. It harkens back to some previous pieces from "The Invasion" series. All pieces for this exhibit are limited to 4" x 6" (which I like, btw). This piece is entitled "Day 3 of the Invasion: Dr. Molly Cuelle Stops By".
