Exhibiting at The Still Point

Half a dozen framed collages are hanging out at the new boutique in downtown Takoma Park. Other items include fine art and craft, textiles, glass, paper, jewelry, accessories for the home, baby, children. Slow and handmade. Check it out.

Artwork in Residence!

One of two large (for me) mountainscape collage-paintings is now in residence at the new location of Still Point Mind and Body. It's called Clear Cold Creek (27 x 32" framed). I started by laying magazine and found papers in a roughed-out landscape, then painted with acrylic, and then layered on more papers and made marks with pen and marker.

To visit (quietly) the painting-collage (and to explore making an appointment for a massage or other and to browse the artisan soaps and such):

In the community...

Sunday night, Takoma Park (Maryland) artists and activists met at the very groovy Jackie's for an evening of socializing and on-the-spot discussion and suggestions for the city Arts & Humanities Commission.

The very brilliant and capable John Borstel and his team facilitated an adapted open space meeting. Lots of assets and possibilities exist in this community. And (I'm afraid), quite a bit of stuck assumptions and thinking. Hoping and looking forward to some new directions, fresh energy, and dynamic collaboration to come.

Just some of the other movers and shakers there:
Stephane Janin
Adam Griffiths
Bobbi Kittner and her artwork
Alice Sims
Nicole Salimbene
Anne Becker
Sara Daines, City of Takoma Park
and maybe, me, too.
