The Latest and Greatest....

I love technology! I have discovered that I have the capability of merging my blogs into one big diary...voila! I have done so and now for those of you who didn't know me prior to the Peace Corps, can now access my life before I lived in Ukraine. In fact, right before I moved there I went on a mad excursion to Romania where I spent some (not so quality) time in the hospital and did some mini-installations...including one inside of Dracula's castle! These stories are from the 2010 archives (October and November).

ON Another note, I am busy getting ready for my upcoming show at the airport here in Warwick. The RI State Council on the Arts sent out a call for proposals and I figured what the heck? I simply sent them the link to my website and they liked my work and so invited me to show from January to April. They make it really easy. I once won a large grant from RISCA. All I did was send them 10 images of my work...next thing you know they tell me I won $1000!  It was pretty great, I can tell you. I have decided to show the tea work.

I'm still working on 2 of the pieces however and need to drink tea like mad in order to accumulate enough materials to get them finished. One of the pieces, entitled "Teatime with Manette" is looking pretty awesome and luckily my friend Manette is drinking tea like mad as well! Here it is.

It's Unfinished Here

Here is the other piece I am working on. The working title is "Plenty".
