GOING THIS WAY

I was asked to create an artist book for a show at our cute little Main Street Art Center here in Ephraim. It's called the Granary Art Center (click for link). I was so flattered and excited to be a part of it!  They even used one of my images for the show advertising:

My Mom, Dad, older sister and I, circa. 1971 (I was almost 2) with our plane Charlie Cherokee.

Here are some pictures of the opening.

My name on the wall.

My family and I by my work.

Awesome A and I.

Me, visiting with friends at the show.

For part of the show upstairs you could make your own 3X3" work and take some else's home.

Here's Little C and Princess P checking out one of mine. I had my classes participate.

My work- 'Trip Scrolls, ca. 1971-2014'

The scrolls are all photos of trips or vacations I have been on throughout my life printed on Kozo rice paper. I love the way a turned out. One of the few art works I've made that I was able to create exactly a work identical to the one in my head.
