Coming up! June is busting out all over!

The Source Theatre Festival in association with the Cultural Development Corporation has selected me to participate in this year's Artist Blind Date collaborative projects.  The performance dates are Wednesday, June 23, Friday, June 25 at 8pm and Saturday, June 26 at 1pm at the Source Theatre, 1835 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC  20009.  Our piece, Memoria Brassica is an exploration of the intersection of memory, its disintegration, technology and cabbages.  Using strong images-both visual and physical, and an intriguing juxtaposition/composite of texts and sound we are creating an abstract narrative about aging, home and connection. My incredible collaborators are Kristina Bilonick, a print maker, and Tzveta Kassabova, a dancer and choreographer.  http://sourcedc.org/sourcefestival/

 

On the craft work side:  School's out so I'm in my studio working in blissful solitude.  I'm planning on having a great inventory of new work.  My Window Bowls line is expanding with new forms and sizes and surface treatments-I think you will be pleased.  My inventory of functional work is also being replenished, as well as a more complete line of jewelry pieces.

 

I've been wait listed for the Washington Craft Show, which will be held at the Washington DC Convention Center on November 19, 20 and 21, 2010.  I'm making work as if I'll be in the show, so send good thoughts to make it true!

 

 

 

Welcome!  My website has three main sections-one for my theater work, one for my pottery, and just recently I added a new section for my jewelry work ( a totally new area for me).  Please wander around and explore the pages.  Yes indeed, its all the same person!

 

Over the years I’ve found that my creativity and passions are most fully and naturally expressed in these art forms and bring me a deep and profound satisfaction.  The balance of performing and visual arts are very important to me.

 

A note about the new jewelry section:  A tangent pursuit in metals for my window bowls has expanded into some jewelry work.  I suppose that was to be expected, but honestly it surprised me a bit.  Please look around the new section on Jewelry.
