As I try to squeeze the last bits out of this Summer by running around with Olivia, I am also looking forward to the Fall. The change of weather is of course most exciting but the change of pace is helpful too. I always do better when there is some structure to my days and the Fall schedule always seems to snap things back into place. (Mom guilt looms when it’s a perfectly nice Summer day that I had planned to spend working on the house or in the studio and Olivia asks “What are we doing today?”… so my days are more unpredictable right now because having fun is also important.)
As I mentioned, I’ll be teaching less this Fall, only having taken on one class at PAFA and workshops. I’m hoping to use this time to plan for the future and finish up some things around here.
Current Exhibitions
I’m happy to say that my sculpture, Am I flying? // Am I falling?, that is featured in As Above, So Below at Arch Enemy Arts sold! There is some really beautiful work in this exhibition, but my favorites are:
Upcoming Exhibitions
I’m working on a piece for Spectrum 3, also at Arch Enemy Arts, and this show opens in September with an opening reception on First Friday in October.
Paul and I are also both in the planning stages for our solo show in 2023, so there that has been discussions and the beginnings of ideas.
Upcoming Workshops
There are only 3 spaces left in my upcoming Animal Sculpture Workshop at Union Hall Arts in Atlantic City, NJ! I am so excited for this workshop. It’s going to be a really packed two days, full of information and sculpting (my favorite things.) I’ll also be making a sculpture tool for each participant and we’ll talk about things like moldmaking vs. firing clay work, composition and making narrative work using symbolism.

Work in Progress
I’ve started a sculpture but in the chaos of redoing the studio, it’s dried out! So it looks like I’ll be starting again.
I also have a much neglected Eddie Bunson left on my table that I should finish for miss Olivia.
Upcoming Miscellany
Back to School Seconds Sale is scheduled for September 1st! I’ll photograph the sculpture this week for a sneak peek so stay tuned!
