The next show I am doing is the annual Spring Open Studio at the Hunters Point Shipyard. The dates are May 3 and 4, 2008. for more information visit www.springopenstudio.com The spring open studio is generally a quieter event than the fall so there is a greater opportunity to talk with the artists, and find out what they do. In past years there have been artist demos. I usually do something to elucidate my methods, perhaps this year it will be a Venetian plaster demo. If you are interested drop me a note and I will plan to do this. I generally try to do this later in the afternoon when things quiet down, and I need something to occupy my normally busy hands.
I have a floorcloth in a show at the Madison MOCA. ( http://www.mmoca.org/) Designers created vignettes inspired by a piece of art in the collection, and my floorcloth was used in one of the vignettes. This was done through my association with the Artful Home (www.artfulhome.com) a craft and art retailer based in Madison WI. They do a good job of seeking out some of the finest craft artists in the country for their catalog and website.
You may also have seen my work in the book "The Artful Home" by Toni Sikes (published by Lark Books www.larkbooks.com/catalog?isbn=160059171X ).
I will probably do the American Craft Council show at Fort Mason in August. I was waitlisted this year, so I won't know for sure until May.
I also am planning a show at STUDIO. We wanted to tie it in with the airing of the HGTV show that I did last year. It is supposed to air in the fall, but is subject to the vagaries and whims of the folks at the network. If you want to be notified of the date, send a note. It will be mostly Venetian Plaster panels and paintings.
