November Exhibit Information

My exhibit at St. Cloud State ended at the end of September. I've gathered up some new and old work for Cynde Randall's innovative galley. If you haven't been there yet, it's worth the drive down. If you have time to take the drive down, it's easy to find the gallery, it's right on the River Road. Also, I'm including the link to one of the best Riverside Restaurants on the Mississippi which is 1/2 hour south of Maiden Rock We'll be going there after the opening if you want to join us.

A Few Other Pieces in the Exhibit

Our Kiehle Exhibition at St. Cloud State University

The Kiehle Gallery presents an exhibition by Julie Baugnet, Professor of Design and Felip Costaglioli, Professor of International Cinema and Aesthetics. Baugnet, a painter, and Costaglioli, a poet, explore the process of traversing text and image. In collaboration, they have created an impressive exhibition that weaves landscape and voice. Ranging from large expressive paintings to intimate journals and artists’ books, the work is presented in English, French, and Catalan. This energetic body of work gives insight into the common territories of poetry and image and reveals an innate passion for color, texture, and the written word.

Here is how they descibe their process:

• Ideas grow in our heads, we sharpen our bones

• We weigh the air, weaving landscape and voice

• Out of our pockets, a world of color and words unfolds

• We embrace creativity, a disease we share with silence

Collage Journal, Le Parc

Here are some collages I put together during my stay at Le Parc, a center for Artists-in-Residence in Pompelonne. 

Residency at Le Parc

Le Parc is in the Tarn Region, just north of Languedoc. I spent a week living and working in this small village of 700. It was very inspirational and calm, and incredible place to work.  Below are some sketches,  the house and terrace.
