Artwork entered in Alverno's Alumnae Art Exhibit!

Yesterday I brought 2 pieces of my artwork to Alverno for the 2013 Alumnae Art Exhibit. The exhibit will run from October 4 (opening celebration from 5-8) to October 26th. One piece is the Dorothy Day print I have posted earlier. The other is a quilted water print with a quotation from Isaiah 43. Come to the opening if you can, or stop by during the month of October, and enjoy!

A Wonderful Day with Dorothy Day!

Our exhibit at the Cardinal Stritch Symposium on Dorothy Day on August 14 was a wonderful blessing! We enjoyed talking with those who came to browse and especially those who found artwork to meet their needs. Many thanks to you :)

Our next scheduled exhibit is in the Chicago area at the Chicago Festival of Faith, at the end of October. We will be back in Milwaukee at the Call to Action Conference Nov. 1-3.

Summer, already! Exhibits upcoming...

We really enjoyed being at the Wisconsin United Methodist Conference in Madison in June. Even though our exhibit space was a bit off the beaten track, we met some wonderful people and many patrons!

It's been a very busy spring & summer of travel, exhibiting, and hosting family and visitors...but we do have a number of exhibits coming this fall:

• The Cardinal Stritch Symposium on August 14
• The Chicago Catechetical Conference on October 25 & 26
• The Alumni Art Show at Alverno also in October
• The Call to Action Conference on Nov.1, 2 & 3
• The Mini-Exhibit at the Art Bar in December

More information will be forthcoming...

UPCOMING EXHIBITS

We have had a busy fall and winter, and are beginning to work out our exhibit schedule for 2013...stay tuned!!
One venue we know about is the Wisconsin United Methodist Conference in Madison June 7-9. We really enjoyed being there last year and are looking forward to being there this year too. If you will be there, stop by our exhibit! (Unfortunately, the Northern Illinois conference is not having outside exhibitors this year, so we will not be able to exhibit there.)

Alverno Alumnae Art Exhibit

I just got word that the two pieces of artwork (see below) that I submitted for the Alumnae Exhibit were accepted. The exhibit opens on October 5, and will run through October.
Stop by if you can!



This Advent/Christmas silk-screened tissue banner expresses joy and thanksgiving that the Lord is at hand — and these are my feelings also about my experience at Alverno, which God was very much in: it was a journey of growth and discovery that challenged me and changed my teaching practice—and me!



THE PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS

The prayer of St. Francis expresses the desire to be a giving person, showing forth God’s love, thus the background image of someone with outstretched arms. At Alverno, I experienced the life-changing power of caring, positive feedback and encouragement which caused me to grow, changing my teaching practice and me!

 

 

A busy summer!

Summer was full of visitors--both family and friends--and travel (North Carolina/Blue Ridge Mountains, Peru and Cape Ann, MA)...and little artwork action except for exhibiting at the Symposium at Cardinal Stritch on August 16, right after we returned from 2 weeks in Peru!

Our trip to Peru was with a group from our parish--it was such a blessing to visit Fr. Alex's mission at Alto Cayma outside of Arequipa! We also enjoyed being able to visit the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, and soak in the color, sounds, views, etc. And my week with college roommates by the seaside in Gloucester was another blessing :) Now it's back to life in Milwaukee!
