What the heck is a Pecha Kucha?
A Pecha Kucha is a presentation format used to combat “death by powerpoint”, and is a format many creative professionals are using to present their work. It is designed to be 20 slides shown for 20 seconds each, with self advancing slides so you can’t blather on and on. Continue reading

Too QuietThe last of our artist house guests left this morning. Combine that with the end of the show season, and it is going to get really quiet around here. I am going to be happy to have the house and studio to myself for about a minute and then I’ll begin to miss all the noise and ruckus.

I am happy to report that at this point in my career these are not typically my emergencies, rather I have advanced to become the solution to said emergencies. So I might not have “solve blindness” on my to-do list like my friend Christina (who, btw, should get a huge whopping bonus if she gets to mark that one off!), but I am quite capable and equipped to render art related triage.
The result of the latest triage is a show I would be happy to have hanging anywhere (even with more than 12 hours notice), but especially since it will be in my own Columbus Park neighborhood. If you haven’t seen my previous body of work, “Collective Memories”, or you would like to revisit it, please swing by this Friday, May 18th to Columbus Park’s hottest new dinner spot, Pandolfi’s Deli.

“The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.”
