Solo exhibition at WSC

Snapshots of my exhibition in October at Quiggley Gallery at Western State College of Colorado.

October in Crested Butte

As I was preparing for my solo show in the Quiggley Gallery at Western State College of Colorado last month, the leaves were changing on the mountain behind my home. Just couldn't resist taking a moment to take some photographs. I slipped on my husband's size 14 shoes, trekked out on our ice covered grass and snapped a few shots. Hope you enjoy the photo.

Hiking Fun

Fall colors are fading on Whetstone mountain. Richard and I enjoyed a hike this morning, it was twenty-two degrees out when we began our adventure at 7am. The sun came up over the peaks after about a half hour. The fallen aspen leaves created a golden carpet on our path. What a great way to begin our day!


After our early morning hike, I began the task of getting caught up with office work. I am in the midst of creating a powerpoint presentation for my upcoming convocation (lecture) at Western State College. Now it is time to get into the studio to work on a few special orders. I am also creating a bowl which I will donate to the silent auction for the fundraiser for Artists of the West Elks, our local visual arts organization.

People's Fair

Tomorrow I will have a booth (#14) in the Crested Butte People's Fair. Look forward to being a part of Day 2 of the fair.

Images from Workshop at Anderson Ranch

Got home a week ago from the Mark Burleson workshop at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass. It was a great experience -- I learned so much. Here are some images of the workshop. The above photo is of Mark, Andy Meyer, Julia Cardone and Ashley York. We all went on a hike on the Sunday in the middle of the two week workshop. Will post more images soon!! Hope everyone in the path of Hurricane Irene will be safe.

Mark Burleson Workshop

Today is day 4 of the Photographic Images for Ceramic Surfaces workshop with Mark Burleson at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado. We are working hard, creating laser toner transfers, silkscreens, etc. I just made a series of pentagons which will hang on the wall. Tomorrow I will "pull" a silkscreen and get it ready for printing. I have been working late in the studio which is open for use 24/7. I will share images soon.

New work for Arts Festival

Here is a sample of my new work just out of the kiln this week. It is a preview of what I will have available during the Crested Butte Arts Festival this weekend. Tomorrow afternoon I will set up my booth. I painted a new Donna Rozman Ceramics sign for the front of my canopy. Most of my boxes of pottery are packed and priced. Just need to finish up packing the most recent work. I am looking forward to showing my new work as well as my wildflower patterns. I am also getting ready to leave on Monday for a workshop at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, Colorado. Snowmass is just 30 miles from my home as the crow flies. However, it will be a two and a half drive since there are no roads that go directly through the mountains from here to there. Well, there are some very rough 4WD roads but I am NOT taking any of those routes!!
