Summer ~ Part I

Just getting a chance to sit down and post some pictures of this summer. My grand adventure started with my flight into New York City where I saw my dear friend and fellow artist Sarah. She’s been in New York for about a year and is starting a new endeavor in textile art. How amazing to be able to encourage each other in our respective areas of interest. I spent some time wandering Central Park, getting lost in Brooklyn and being inspired by the art exhibits at the Met and Whitney museums. Unfortunately, I was too absorbed in the moment I didn’t get hardly any pictures except for this one and really dark pictures I took with a disposable camera in the Natural History Museum. The Dinosaur exhibit there is amazing, by the way.

I participated in an artist workshop called The Glen East Workshop put on by IMAGE (http://imagejournal.org/page/events/the-glen-workshop/2011/east/). The class was taught by Ed Knippers who was a great teacher. The whole experience was challenging but absolutely fantastic. I got to be there with a good friend Jennifer Goss which made it just that much better.
