Wow, it’s done! This last set of collages was the most difficult yet. I fell behind again, but managed again to catch up. I almost quit around the mid-80s but figured if I was that close, I HAD to keep going. Does it feel good? Yes, definitely. I am happy that I did the 100 […]
ALMOST finished! Just another couple weeks left! I have found it challenging to keep up with this set of days. I have had a couple of shows, including Boston Mills Artfest, and other events that have taken up time and I fell behind a couple of times. Despite that, I kept up and caught up! […]
The 100 Day Project continues, and we’re on the downward slide. This set of days have been more challenging than the first 40, mostly in finding time to complete each day’s work. I had several events during this time period, and was preparing for my exhibit at the Cleveland Botanical Garden, so I actually fell […]
The Sentinels are a group of six very tall pine trees that stand along the edge of my backyard. They are the first things I see when I look out the window in the morning and the last ones I see at night. Knowing they are there gives me a sense of safety and security. […]
The 100 Day Project continues! For 100 days, I am doing a small collage, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, in a wire-bound sketchbook. Why? Because: I want to. It takes discipline and follow-through, which are habits I want to foster. I love working in a series – doing lots of things on a theme. I feel […]
I am pleased that 2 of my newest collages are included in the Ohio Collage Society’s 12th Annual Exhibit! My 2 pieces are Elemental 2 and Elemental 6, pictured below. This is always a good show, full of artwork rich in stories, associations, and textures. I’m excited to go see it on Thursday. Come join […]
The first ever World Collage Day will be held Saturday, May 12, 2018. You know that’s right up my alley! Our studio will have artists doing collage demos and a make-and-take project for visitors. The Learned Owl Book Store will host Gretchen Bierbaum signing copies of her book, Collage in All Dimensions. Gretchen, as you […]
The 100 Day Project is a challenge to do something – anything – every day for 100 days and document it. Your individual project can be artistic (draw, paint, sketch, sew, photo) or it can be personal (walk, run, meditate). Anything qualifies, as long as it’s repeatable. For many people, documenting it means posting online, especially […]
To begin the year on a festive note, please join me for a celebration of the arts at The Bath Church UCC. I’ve heard such wonderful things about this show – how well organized it is, what nice art it attracts, the lovely reception on the opening day and concert at the closing – but […]
