March is Woman’s History Month, a time to reflect and honor the contributions
and accomplishments of women. I wanted to highlight and focus on the unique beauty of women around the world in their simplicity as well as their art of cultural adornment. I love looking at and collecting vintage photos, so I’ve put together
this photo video of some of my favorite images.
Last month was the "Student - Faculty Show" at the Art League and I'm happy to
mention I was one of the recipients of a merit award for my figure "Shiloh".
It sold several days later.

were accepted. My work is entitled, "Where Did The Time Go?" It was inspired
by my childhood memories of climbing in trees, hide and go seek, and miniature
toys. My cousin, Judy and I used to take naps together at our Aunt Plunksy"s
house. Our aunt kept a metal wishbone with cellulose toys that hung from it.
During the time Judy and I were supposed to be napping we decided to take a
toy off the wishbone, one for each of us. There were so many little bubblegum machine toys suspended from the wishbone, the two we took would never be noticed. This became an everyday ritual, until there were no toys left. On my art
work, I have vintage toys from the fifties suspended the clock, no napping kids
will be allowed to sleep in the same room with this piece.
The photo below is a picture of my cousin Judy and myself in kindergarden.
One of my cousins just happened to find this picture on Arlington Co. Public Library's site.
The photo was part of their Black History Slideshow, "The Eve of Integration In Arlington".
Noah has sculpted a bike out of an assortment of scrap metal and junk. If you go to the Torpedo Factory, his piece is called "On The Move".
Another figure that I have on exhibit in the Bin Gallery is "Buttercup".
