Today I came home with a great piece of art by Kim Hamblin a Sheridan artist.

Her pieces are made from paper that's precisely cut and then nailed onto a thick piece of wood. Pretty fab.

Everyday when taking a walk in our neighborhood I find myself looking at various shapes on the ground, it may be moss, stones or just sticks. I spotted this twig and walked right past it, the further I walked the more I thought about it's shape. I walked around the block, found it again and brought it home with me. Simple sightings of nature and being enamored with a silly stick. I like to think of it as "organic sculpture."

"Trashion Show"




This evening I was honored to judge a "Trashion Show" at Abiqua School. I loved seeing these kids showing such enthusiasm in creating art out of trash. Truly, these are our next budding artists!
