Retrospective Show

Opening May 27, 5-7pm at the Blue Sage Center for the Arts

228 Grand Avenue, Paonia, Colorado and continuing through June 16 

I dove into boxes buried in the basement, drawn from works hanging in my own home, and am excited to bring some very special pieces out into the public. Work which has been in private collection all these years, from the 1990's to the present . Most of the pieces have be in special gallery showings or even art fairs over the years. 

This post will be published now, with more pictures added in the future.

Hermiston High Commemorative Mugs

Note: This link: Table of Contents will help you find specific items of our work within this blog.

Hermiston High School Class of '65 will gather for our 50th Class reunion on July 17-18, 2015 
(Hard to believe, but there it is).

In honor of the event, I've agreed to take on the project of making souvenir mugs. They are approximately 4 1/4" tall and 3" in diameter, holding about 11 ounces. Made of stoneware clay, they are dishwasher and microwave safe, lead free.
