Dia de los Muertos Group Show 2010



"With Help & Consulation from the Angels of the Deep"
Mixed Media, Stonehedge Paper, 9" x 7"x 3"

This ancient holiday began as a day of thanks for the harvest. Over time, it became a time to remember the ancestors and beloved ones who have died. Once one knows death intimately, death is no longer wrapped in a cloak of mystery or a reason to fear the darkness.  Many customs and traditions have been added over the years, but for the most part, this ancient holiday is as it always was -- a time of remembrance and love.

The show features artists creating artwork to commemorate their ancestors and departed loved ones. The art ranges from whimsical, political, to painfully personal.  Reclaiming this Mexican American tradition, these artists translate it into their own personal interpretation.

Come pay your respects @ 
Guardino Gallery
2939 NE Alberta  ◊  Portland, OR 97211
Open: Tues. 11 to 5 PM, Wed. through Sat. 11 to 6 PM, Sun 11 to 4 PM
Hope to See you @ the Last Thursday on October 28th...

Pileated Woodpecker Spotted


My friend Bud saw a pileated woodpecker
on his wood pile yesterday...

But to no avail...

Oh Charles! I heart you...

 

Thank You!


I wanted thank all the folks who gave a hand & came out 
the other night to the Cottage Grove Last Friday.
It was lovely!

Getting Ready for Solo Show in December...

Hoping to have many birds cut out before the opening...

 In my other shows I have always wanted 
a little interaction with the audience.
I hope people will purchase these cut outs and write their wish, desire or hope on the back. Then date it. Hang it some place or pack it away to be found again next year. Some times for things to start to change all one has to do is acknowledge it by writing or saying it aloud.

 Playing with water and things...

Shy studio assistant...

Tired studio assistant...

Studio @ work... and yes those are sock mannequin legs
(I am workin on what to do with them)
Thanks for stopping by..
