Art in the Heart of the City, Ithaca, NY - July 1 to November 1, 2011
Great fun to be a part of "Art in the Heart"! As one of 6 artists chosen for this outdoor sculpture show, I created two Dreaming Dogs, Benny and Bessie, very pat-able. Deep in sleep, Benny and Bessie re- live the excitement of the chase. In their waking moments, these plump pups may not be swift -- but we can all dream, can't we? They doze near the playground in the pedestrian mall at the center of beautiful downtown Ithaca. With interesting culture and spectacular scenery, Ithaca is well worth a visit.

25th Annual Omer Lassonde Juried Exhibition - April 1 through April 29, 2011
"Bearing" wins First Place!
Juror Daniel Fuller, Director of the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art, chose a fascinating assemblage of works. His Juror's Statement is most engaging: "... what was abundantly clear was a Òplugged-inÓ feeling. Politically relevant and provocative, inter-disciplinary, the utilization of found materials, and of course, the impeccably painted and crafted, I was treated to a wide range of aesthetics and traditions, but one constant was an obvious knowledge of contemporary trends and practices. ... Ranging across genre and media, my encounters with certain works in the review phases ignited a series of visual and conceptual connections, prompting numerous narratives."
The Lassonde Exhibition is showing at NH Art Association's Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State Street, Portsmouth NH through April 29th. (603-431-4230)
Exhibition - March 4 to April 1, 2011
My work will be in the "5 Potters & Sculptors" exhibit sponsored by
the Kimball-Jenkins Estate, School of Art. March 4 through April 1, 2011 .
The Kimball-Jenkins Estate is a grand Victorian mansion on Main Street in Concord
near Rte 93 Exit 15. Kimball-Jenkins director Ryan Linehan and crew arranged the great
variety of claywork with wonderful skill.
