New Years Eve Art Party at Hobbs-Taylor Gallery
The Hobbs-Taylor Gallery at 8th and New Hampshire (Lawrence, KS) is hosting a “Final Friday” New Years Eve Art Party! Nineteen artists will be showing work from 5 – 9 pm, including me. Â Here’s a couple new pieces that will be in the show:
Jost at the Yost Art Gallery in Highland, KS
My exhibit Linked in Spirit is showing at the Yost Art Gallery from Nov. 16 – Dec. 16, 2010, located at 606 W. Main on the campus of Highland Community College in Highland, KS. Â The exhibit includes three new works that I’m showing for the first time:
Linked in Spirit at the Percolator
I enjoyed showing my exhibit Linked in Spirit at the Percolator in Lawrence, Kansas in May and June of 2010. 
Here are some of the art pieces that I showed in the exhibit, including clayboard drawings, mixed-media collages, and mosaics.
Look for additional images from my exhibit under Pages: Portfolio: Linked in Spirit
I painted mural-figures related to my art on a movable wall. The figures directed people to one of my favorite pieces, and led viewers around to the other side of the wall.
On the other side I made a collage of photos, sketchbook entries, and memorabilia that represented some of the ways I find inspiration for my art.
I held an all-ages art making workshop at the Percolator where participants experimented with materials and made clayboard drawings, mosaics, and mixed-media collages.
I’m looking forward to showing this exhibit again, including new work, at the Yost Art Gallery at Highland Community College (Highland, Kansas) in November of 2010.

Dime Bag Show
This is a new piece that I made for the “Dime Bag Show,” a fundraiser for Lawrence’s Social Service League, at the Percolator Gallery on August 1, 2009, 7-10 pm.  All art is made  from materials purchased at the Social Service League, including the plates and cups that I broke for this piece (12″ x 12″).  All work is priced at under $50, and proceeds go to the Social Service League.
Art and Conversation
Humming Bird (Bustin' Out) (available)
I made this mosaic in the Art and Conversation class that I co-led for women survivors of sexual violence, at GaDuGi SafeCenter. In this project, each participant created a 6-inch ceramic tile painted to represent a painful experience. Â We each, then, broke our tile and used it to create something new — an element in a mosaic.
