Chamber Pot Gallery

To anyone who hasn't already checked it out yet, if you can, go visit the Chamber Pot Gallery - the public restrooms in the cool train station building that houses the Yellow Springs (OH) Chamber of Commerce. Also called a "loo with a view," the gallery is in its second year of showcasing some fine and fun artwork by local and regional artists (including moi). Go here for a sneak peek of what's showing: www.chamberpotgallery.com. You can also get to it by going to the Chamber Pot Gallery link below. I sold my first painting and (relatively) quickly made a new one to hang up for the rest of the year or until someone wants to purchase it - whichever comes first. Enjoy!

All Comments Are Welcome

Well, I finally figured out how to open up the conversations to all - bloggers, non-bloggers and anonymous, so feel free...Now, if I could only figure out how to add a "simple" emailing list, so folks (who are so inclined) can find out when new stuff is added here - I'd be thrilled. Is there anybody out there...who knows about this and can explain it in English (not just Bloggese)? I have this love-hate thing with technology, you see. All comments are welcome.

Commissions Welcome

I talk about this at length on our web site, but here's just a quick note to let you know that Jim and I will consider commission work in sculpture and sculpture repair and restoration. And I do photography: if you have a wedding, graduation, anniversary or whatever party that you want photographed, if you need a personal or family portrait, or you have artwork that needs studio documentation, let us know and we'll see if we can help you. Thanks!

Studio to Be

Here are some photographs I made awhile back of the driveway and the front of our studio in Yellow Springs. (It looks a bit better now; I should probably make some new pictures).
