Jeff and I have had a lot of fun thinking of things to complement our off-kilter art show happening next Saturday (click here for more info). I think we are going to do some kind of wacky rice krispy treat creature among other goofy food items. (We are open to suggestions!) We are perhaps most excited about creating a soundtrack for the evening. We over-brainstormed, and need YOUR HELP to narrow down the playlist. Please take this survey to select and suggest music for the evening: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SV6S85CThursday, March 31, 2011
Help Pick the Catawampus Soundtrack!

catawompus: (adj.) askew; off-kilter or unexpected
What do a hang-gliding bear, a robot fashion show, and a penguin on a cell phone all have in common? They are all part of the fun at CATAWOMPUS (a show of slightly off-kilter artwork) at Heather Green Studios in Old Bisbee.
I'm really excited to feature paintings by Jeff Henley, one of the profs at Cochise College. His work is often ironic, is sometimes whimsical and sweet, but is always interesting. It's kind of like getting a glimpse of what's inside Jeff's head (but not so far down the rabbit hole).
To compliment his sense of humor, I will have my "pinguin" sculptures on display. Created from actual bowling pins, the penguins are mischievous, sometimes cruel, and will surely tickle a funny bone or two. You will not want to miss this show, as a few penguins have already been sold (meaning this event will be the last time to see some of them in public)!
CATAWOMPUS is Saturday, April 9th from 5:00 to 9:30 pm, and is a free event open to the public. This reception will also have an interesting soundtrack and food spread for the evening . . . Bring some friends, and take in some culture (albeit slightly skewed). It will be a (bowling) ball!

MAKE Youth Arts Festival
The Second Annual MAKE Youth Arts Festival is next weekend! Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 26th from 10 am to 4 pm to attend this fun, free, kid-oriented event.
Artwork by my art students from Greenway Elementary and Lowell Junior High will be on display, as will work from Bisbee High School art students. Guests are invited to participate in a scavenger hunt, in which one must scour the artwork to find all the hidden gems. Performances by Stories That Soar (dramatic rendering of stories written by kids) and Wall of Love (the BHS rock band) are sure to please, as are the many "Make & Take" activities. I will be stationed at the screenprinting table where you can screen your own MAKE fest or Wall of Love tee! Be sure to bring a plain t-shirt to participate.
I'm proud of all the hard work my kids have put in this year. Here are some samples:
