Retrospective show, opening reception Aug. 1, 2 pm-4 pm

"Dorothy, all grown up"  18"x24"      NFS  (Private Collection)

This was a painting I did for an advertisement of a jewelry store, Bailen Jewelers, that ran in the Louisville Magazine in 1997.   Dorothy, (from Kansas), is all grown up and no longer wears ruby slippers but wears ruby pendents.   Do you see the yellow brick road and Emerald City?

This painting is one of the pieces I have a Retrospective show, with an opening reception this Sunday August 1, 2 pm-4 pm at JCC  here in Louisville and it will run from August 1 - September 7.   The show spans 38 years of work and includes fashion illustrations, national advertising pieces and personal works.   If you are in the area I would love it if you could be there for the opening reception.

"Dancing Quilt" 18"x24" cotton, shoe buttons

Dancing Quilt    $1950

I have been working all day on a show that I'm involved in.   This is one of two pieces that I have in a show here in Louisville Kentucky at the Pyro Gallery, opening night is this Friday, July 30, 6-9.   The show is called "Women Imaging Women" it will be up July 29 - Sept 5.   It is a wonderful show and if you are in the area it is worth seeing.

The quilt here is all about dancing, with dance steps around the edges and in the closet are dance outfits for different occasions.   The clothes can be removed and placed on the image on the front.
