News
2012 is starting out well. On February 1 I will start at the University of Central Missouri as the Director of Galleries. The family and I are thrilled about this new position and about moving to Warrensburg, MO. With Kansas City only 60 miles away, we'll be close to contemporary art museums, amazing food, and countless opportunities to enjoy culture and the arts.
September / October, 2011: Austin Heights Baptist Church has asked me to redesign their website. I will be restructuring the site and updating it's look as a volunteer designer. Austin Heights Baptist Church has a lot to offer Nacogdoches and East Texas. Their website should therefore offer a lot too. I look forward to helping them make that happen!
On July 29, 2011, I attended a disaster preparedness seminar at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and sponsored by Heritage Preservation's Alliance for Response. Organized by Galveston Historical Foundation, the attendees included 300 museum, archive and library professionals from 10 Houston-area counties. The seminar was well orchestrated and offered insight from numerous private and federal organizations. I took the most away from the FEMA discussion about federal relief guidelines and information about filing damage claims for museums and non-profits.
I was the juror for the Livingston Art League Spring Art Show in March of 2010. Open to professional and nonprofessional artists of all ages, this competition featured the works of painters, collage artists, photographers, sculptors, fine metal artists, glass artists, and artists working in pen, ink charcoal, pastel and pencil. (Please click here for a PDF of the thank you card from the Livingston Art League.)
"Naco Verde," the brainchild of Nacogdoches, Texas, artist Wally Knight, opened Friday, Jan. 7, 2011, at the SFA Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House. The exhibition included works by approximately 20 artists from Nacogdoches, Lufkin and Louisiana who submitted pieces consisting of at least 75 percent reused materials. A multi-media sculpture I created was selected for the show. The exhibition ran through Jan. 29, 2011.
The "YOU'VE GOT MAIL PROJECT: a project promoting the art of correspondence" opened Jan. 22, 2011, at Austin's Flatbed Press Gallery and ran through Jan. 27, 2011. Flatbed Press is located at 2832 East MLK Blvd., Austin, Texas, 78702. The exhibit was curated by Carl McQeary of Austin. Flatbed Press and Gallery is committed to exhibiting and making available to collectors contemporary art of the highest caliber. They specialize in original prints, paintings, photographs, drawings and mixed-media works. My photography based postcard was one of the 700 pieces selected for this show.
