The Sketchbook Project 2011 tour

This year I participated in the Sketchbook Project through Art House co-op. I had the opportunity to choose a theme and then was sent a small moleskin sketchbook. My theme was Down Your Street, I used this as an opportunity to further explore my new home as I photographed new work focusing on the changes in the landscape from Boston to Denver.

Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums on a tour across the country. After the tour the sketchbooks will enter the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library. The tour began in February, 2011 above are some pictures taken by my Mom.

2011 Here we go!

Exciting things to look forward to this spring! I had a snow day today from work which was fantastic. I was able to finish my sketchbook project which was a ton of fun to work on just wish I hadn't left it till the last minute.
I am so excited I will be able to attend the SPE National Conference this year in Atlanta. It's a good push to work on my portfolio so I have work to be critiqued at the conference! Then I want to spend the spring sending my work to galleries in Denver. Lot's do and meanwhile getting in some time in the mountains. Really loving living in Colorado.

Work, Work, Work

Teaching has been hectic. However, I have continued to shoot and work on my new project. My sketchbook project is calling my name with the due date right around the corner. I have a piece of my new project in a show in Boston the AIB MFA alum show. See the postcard. Other than that trying to really work on finalizing this body of work and applying for more shows.

Busy time of year

I have been photographing my surroundings and watching the leaves change. I still miss the fall colors of New England, but I do love the weather here in Denver. I need to start putting my new project together and making prints. I am participating in an AIB alumni show in January which is exciting. I have also sent work to my grad school friends new art space called Art Lab 9 in Mason City, IA http://www.artlab9.com/

Other than that things have been busy with work and I have been enjoying getting outside and loving the mountains.
