The Souls of Forgotten Objects
Juried exhibition, Sedona Arts Center, 15 Art Barn Road
Sedona, Arizona 86336
The exhibit will run from December 1, 2021 to December 23, 2021.
I am excited to have been accepted into a juried exhibition, The Souls of Forgotten Objects, at the Sedona Arts Center. I have weathered a drought the last couple years, and am now exhibiting throughout the state at various venues.
I will be exhibiting three of my Desert Detritus Clocks – all found object assemblages crafted from debris and detritus collected in the Superstition wilderness. Cholla roots, rusted cans and metal and automotive parts, bones – all will find a way onto my constructions. With form not exactly meeting function, these pieces are all working clocks.
Don’t worry, the rusted metal parts have all been treated with a fixative, you have no fear of tetanus.
Hey, if you are looking for a unique Christmas gift, why not give someone you love the time of day? Check out the exhibit, it promises to be a show of truly creative people.

I have been accepted to show at the Little by Little exhibit of small works at Art Intersection in Gilbert, AZ.
Al works have to be less than 12 inches in any dimension. This is a difficult gallery to get into, so I am overjoyed that my piece was accepted.

One-Oh-One Gallery
Today marked the official opening reception of the Take Five Artists exhibit at Gallery One-Oh-One in Mesa, AZ.
Take Five is comprised of six artists; Liz Nicklus, Susan H. Paige, Sharon Peterson, Nancy Nowak Utech, Rosalie Trulli Vaccaro, and of course myself.
We all have differing styles and different strengths. I am the late-comer to the group. All of the artists have an extensive portfolio.
This exhibit will be up until the end of January 2021. We will be open every weekend.

Take Five Artists Exhibition

Desert Detritus Clock
Desert Detritus Clock
$250.00
Who says art cannot be functional? My Desert Detritus clocks are crafted from debris collected from the Sonora Desert
The back is driftwood found on the shores of Canyon Lake. My guess is that it is a chunk of ironwood. Hand rubbed with a finish of linseed oil.
The jawbone is likely from a coyote. I cleaned the jawbone with a mild detergent, being careful to retain the toning created by the Arizona desert sun. A precision clock work ensures accurate time.
Assemblage
I am fortunate to be a member of Take Five, a group of artists in the East Valley that are self-taught, not the product of an art school.
We are all artists not because of an education, but despite. Art is life, we cannot but create art.
I would suppose I am more noted for my American Bar Series, my paintings of bars from east coast to west. Bars, I would remind you, that I have imbibed in. Continue reading “Assemblage”
University Club
“I would never join a club that would have me as a member. ” Groucho Marx
The University Club would probably have me as a member. I gained entrance without joining. The Take Five artists are on display in the University Club. I have five paintings on display, and available for purchase.
All of my paintings are of bars, some local, some famous. Submitting these paintings for this exhibit – on display until January 2021 – placed me in a quandary. Continue reading “University Club”
