Quiet as a Bird

I found this dead bird the other day and couldn't resist picking him (don't know the gender, thought of him as a he) up to draw in the park. It was the most surreal moment. I had been sketching ideas for a bird pendant as I have been feeling very 'fertile' lately and wanted to do a piece with eggs. I had been thinking about ways to research birds as they are hard to view in the wild, when I saw this bird lying next to Brampton City Hall. It had obviously died recently and I pondered whether it w… Continue

New Life, New Blog

Now that I am a full time artist and am not in school I have decided to post my research, experiences and goings on in relation to my art, design, photography, jewellery etc on here, for you the people. I have always enjoyed researching but found it a nuisance to organize my research in a way that teachers, professors, and academics in general could follow my thought process. Now that I am 'free' I am finding myself wanting to record my research in a way that the public…you….can enjoy it. So if… Continue

Thank you to everyone who came and made our 13th annual show such fun - it was wonderful catching up with all of you, and meeting those of you new to the event. All the pieces I made were a big success, so it's back to the bench for the Maryville University show.

Tips for Enjoying an Art Studio Tour

Fall is the season of artists' Studio Tours. It gives each artist an opportunity to show his/her artistic productivity for the first three quarters of the year. (Yes, some artists do have quarterly action plans!) This is your opportunity to see them in their own creative environment where "the action" happens. Studio Tours are a special event for both the artists and their visitors! There are a few things you, as a potential customer, need to know before starting out. Here's my twenty tips for… Continue

SNAG is "Going to eXtremes" March 10 - 13, 2010 in Houston, TX!

Can you believe it?!! SNAG’S 2010 conference, "Going to eXtremes," is less than 6 months away!

ACC Conference - Why the ACC is more famous for football than craft?

A rude awakening. When I told a distant relative that I was blogging for the ACC Conference she was blown-away impressed, shocked, surprised!!!!!.....until she found out it was not THE ACC, the Atlantic Coast Conference (college football), it was just the American Craft Council Conference. (Although a D.I.Y. jewelry maker, she had never heard of them.) A second blast to my ego arrived upon finding out that the blogger who writes "Monday Morning Quarterback" gets 1 million readers… Continue

Looking forward

Is there a way to slow down the time? It seems like it's slipping past so quickly and i can't seem to catch my breath. October has been a busy month. - My 9-5 has been hectic and stressful and this has been one of several factors impeding my creativity. - I have been rehearsing for the Halloween coverband show ( a west philly tradition) several nights a week to prepare for our show on October 30th (which was a blast and went surprisingly well). - I spent the first two weeks of the month waiting… Continue

Beind the camera... again.

Inevitably I always find myself back behind the camera lense. I really think that eventually I will find myself doing more photography than metalwork. It's been a slow progression but I find myself thinking more about photography than I do about metal. I have been thinking that this upcoming collaboration with artist Liz Huston might be the catalyst I need to really take the leap into photography full time. My problem really lies in the fact that I like to work in a wide variety of mediums. But… Continue

Where do I go from here.....

So When I was in college in the 80's I started this piece. It was my commentary on politics and nuclear proliferation. We where at odds with the soviets and there where enough missiles on the planet to destroy our orb of life a hundred times over- Inspired by what I think was one of the best educators in the craft world at Buffalo State College- I sought to create a piece that was not only massive but had a sort of political tongue in cheek message. (Thanks Steve) I created an 8 finger summit r… Continue
