Had the opportunity to show another iteration of my thesis installation. Dropped off the pieces and was pleasantly surprised by how the gallery director installed the work. Some live music added an element of weirdness to the opening that I liked. If you're in Bethlehem this month check it out!<br />

This morning while watching a video with my granddaughter about Jacks<span style="text-align: center;">on Pollock I learned the name of one of his images--Enchanted Forest. I think about the idea of magic in the forest a lot now. That's something that informs my work these days.</span><br />

The show featured four alumni from NHIA and their mentors and proposed a dialog of artworks speaking throughout the gallery space. I was pleased to have an opportunity to show another iteration of my thesis installation. I've been thinking of ways to expand on this installation and have an idea I'm anxious to act on.<br />

It will be there until the end of the month, so if you didn't make the opening, check it out!

It's been a busy six months. I'm happy to say I completed my degree and graduated with a Master's of Fine Art from NH Institute of Art in Manchester. I don't regret a minute of it and am already missing it. I'm drawn to the academic world and living where I do, I miss the stimulation that I get from being engaged in it. PHD next?<br />

<span class="s1">Work in progress. I'm thinking this might be a new direction. Further articulation on my relation to the landscape. I keep thinking about a Georgia O'Keeffe quote that speaks to her desire to have viewers see the landscape the way SHE saw it. And a smart man once said to me that Van Gogh painted his subjects the way HE saw them. Perhaps not everyone sees things the way those of us that call ourselves artists do.</span></div>

Finally getting a chance to post almost 2 months after graduation. It's been a whirlwind to say the least. The final residency was stressful and joyful at the same time. Graduation was intimate, personal and ultimately fulfilling. My sons flew out to join me which was the icing on the cake. And of course, most gratifying, the final installation was well received. Now to keep on making.<br />

Out of my hands! Ready for the final review and defense of my thesis. Hard to believe it will all be over in a couple of weeks (January 14th, 2017). Or is it just the beginning! That's the hope. A new artistic adventure awaits! Myriad iterations at hand!<br />

Expecting to graduate on January 15, 2017 if all goes well. Currently in production mode on my thesis installation. Wrapping up my 50 page thesis paper as well. Sent in my final draft on Saturday. Finishing up cutting, sanding priming and painting the pieces that will eventually become my "Saving Place: Lament for Landscape" installation. Some lingering logistical questions still exist. This is new, but exciting territory for me. Developing a new language for articulating my response to the landscape that engulfs me daily. Interested in the idea of diorama and hoping I can achieve the magical feeling that they evoke.<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Great event in Glover and one we've attended for probably around 30 years, with a few lapses in between. The circus is up a running and as social and political and art infused as ever. I think my favorite is still meandering through the museum and lingering on exhibitions. There's so much to look at and take in. So inspiring! I may have to begin some paper mache' sculptures soon.</span></div>

Which is why I haven't posted in a while. Completely engaged in my MFA work along with my teaching duties. This Friday from 5:00 - 7:00 is a show at the Tillotson Center in Colebrook, NH with my friend and fellow artist, Linda Tase, a wonderful potter. Hope you can make it!<br />
