Having recently participated in Art Fairs in both Dubois and Rawlins, WY, I am now busily preparing new work for Lander’s Art in the Afternoon to be held December 5.  The venue at the old Noble Hotel (now part of the National Outdoor Leadership School’s (NOLS) campus) is a great atmosphere for the art fair.… read more

Last night marked the first ever meeting of the new ceramic arts guild in Lander.  Attendance was great and ideas were flowing like wine (imagine if we’d had any–wine that is!)   We need a name for our new organization.  Any ideas from friends/fans/readers would be appreciated.  Something appropriate for our foothills, Wind River, Wyoming… read more
