NEWS WORTHY

SOPHIA IS SEEING STARS

Very excited to announce that a large canvas of Sophia Smiling was recently purchased by actress, Lauren Sweetser of Winter's Bone fame.

While filming ADDicted in Columbia, MO. Lauren's parents came to town to visit their daughter since she lives in California and they in Arkansas. When Lauren was filming her parents enjoyed walking around Columbia and visiting different shops. Fortunately I had a few of my pieces in a special display consisting of Best of Missouri Hands artists in the PWArchitects Inc. front window. The display hung during the month of April 2014 and my large canvas of Sophia Smiling caught Lauren's dad's eye. He fell in love with the smiling donkey.

After Lauren's dad returned home, she secretly purchased my photo canvas and with the help of her mom, was able to keep things hush, hush until Lauren was able to visit her parents in their Arkansas home.

While still in Columbia, Missouri, Lauren and her mom also visited Poppy where I have my note cards and prints year round. They both have a great fondness for my photography and went home with numerous note cards and prints for other family members.

I'm touched that Lauren's dad got such a kick out of Sophia and very pleased that she chose to give him a gift of my photography.

Thank you to the Sweetser family, the BOMH, the PWA and the gals at Poppy for making this possible.

I just re-watched Winter's Bone and am looking forward to her newest film ADDicted. It will be extra fun to watch knowing what a big heart Lauren has for her family, and that it's shot in Columbia, MO.

UPCOMING EXHIBITS

Interpretations II

Opening Reception: Saturday, August 23, 2014, 6-8pm
Second Artwork submission dates: Wednesday 20th & Thursday 21st, August 2014
View/download a poster about the show (pdf).

Interpretations: A marriage of 40 visual artists and 40 literary artists, each submitting one work of her/his own choice with any theme. Then, an art swap: Each visual artist receives a work from one of the writers; each literary artist receives an artwork. The task for each artist and writer: to create a second work of art or piece of writing, which is his or her interpretation of the other artist’s work. The result: A show of 80 artworks and 80 pieces of writing. The aim of the show: A reminder that we all see the world differently; our interpretations of the world around us are uniquely ours. How will each artist interpret the other artist’s work? How will the viewer interpret the written words and artworks in the show?

THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION

I am pleased to announce that I received a special invitation to display my photography at the Governor's Mansion in Jefferson City, Missouri. This privilege is by invitation only. I am one of eight Missouri photographers that will have one piece on display for the next year to year and a half.

Considering the fact that I have a great love for donkey's and mules AND that the mule is our "Official State Animal," It's only natural that I have sent my photo titled, "Matched Pair." I shot this photo of this beautiful team of Percheron Draft Mules, Pat and Jane, in Hermann, MO. I think Pat and Jane will look very grand in this special display.

History of the display:
The Best of Missouri Hands is privileged to have a presence at the Governor’s Mansion since Governor and Mrs. Bob Holden partnered with the Missouri Artisans Association/Best of Missouri Hands to collect and display ornaments created by Missouri artisans. Beginning in 2005, the ornament collection was proudly exhibited in a one-of-a-kind display piece designed by BOMH member Heinrich Leonhard and made by Lou Swacker.

In 2010, the ornament collection was put into storage to make room for a more dynamic exhibition. The Missouri Artisans Association and Missouri Mansion Preservation staff revamped the display to feature selected Best of the Missouri Hands artisans creating works they are producing currently…and chose to feature glass artisans. In 2012, the display was revamped again to feature eight painters from Best of Missouri Hands. Upcoming feature: those working in photography.

Current Exhibits

Bountiful Boone - Columbia Art League

June 24 – August 22, 2014

Boone County is bountiful-geologically, ecologically and agriculturally. So whether it's art about Boone County, art made in Boone County, or art inspired by Boone County, you'll find it in the show.

My image that I submitted titled, "Face Painter" was taken the beginning of June at the Columbia Art Leagues - Art in the Park, three day show. I thought it very endearing to see this large biker type guy with tattoo's face painting this young girl. It was a wonderful day and fun for everyone.

Just to add a little flavor to the image I added a color mask giving it orange and green tones. The image is for sale $160 and currently hanging at the Columbia Art League.

Worth Repeating -

Framations Art Gallery

June 13 - July 17, 2014

An exhibit focused on repetition, be it patterns, colors, textures, etc.

I submitted two pieces, both of which were juried into this exhibit. I did a repeat of Sophia in four colors which is called, "Sophia's Technicolor Dream" and my second piece is a bunch of colorful dog biscuits titled, "Doggie Daydream."
