On July 8th – July 16th I attended the 35th Annual Stone Carving Symposium at Pilgrim Firs. This was my 3rd time here and about my 6th or 7th Symposium (Hard to keep track of with Covid) I began to work on piece which I believe now to be Calcite or similar. Here are some …

Rocks
Going to share one more post that I have barely started, but started none the less on this amazing stone. Not quite sure what it is but it’ harder and more crystal like than marble. I think one guess was a kind of calcite or a mix of stones. But my idea here is that …
New Pieces
So I have a few more pieces I’ve been working on this first one I sort of started in reverse. Typically I do a background and then decide what the foreground will be. This piece I decided I wanted to use a bunch of yellow mixed media and wasn’t sure yet what I was going …
More silhouette paintings
So I came up with two more paintings using the style I’ve been having a lot of fun with. One is from a painting I did a few years ago but I’ve never really felt it was done. Now it’s a very cool jazz inspired piece which I’m calling “Howling Cat”. The other one I …

Shows

Good news
Excited because I submitted two entries for the Light & Space Primary Colors exhibition online. Only one of the pieces made it but I’ve entered before for some of their other categories and this is the 1st time I received a positive response, my piece “Red” got a special recognition mention. I’ve really loved this …
Lots of projects these days
So I realize I have not written in some time. I got myself all setup in the studio and we are opening on November 12th. Excited and made a cool little poster for it here. Although I have only done some work recently trying to thin out my honeycomb calcite butterfly and I started working …
NWSSA
Just returned last weekend from the 34th Annual NWSSA Sculpting Symposium. It was really great lots of hard work and I am completely exhausted but worked on a few pieces, made some earrings from Jade and learned about Shou Sugi Ban (basically got to play with fire to darken a wood base). Now that I’m …
