MASKS AT MOCA

Masks at MOCA has been a exhibit at the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art for several years now. The Museum asks artists to submit a mask of their own design to auction off as a fundraiser for the museum. This photo is a picture of a Mask submitted by Christa Reid for a previous exhibit.

As a studio artists at FC MOCA, I felt a need to help raise funds for this incredible building (an old post office that has been lovingly restored and repurposed into an art gallery and studio space)

I just received word that I am one of the 150 artists who has been selected to participate in this exciting event! The show and silent auction will take place at MOCA from April 1- May 8, 2010. I will be working on the piece this fall. Stay Tuned!

Prayer Flags

St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Fort Collins, CO just Installed their new Rector, Rev. Bonnie Sarah Spencer. For the service, I worked with the congregation to create Prayer Flags, in the tradition on the Tibetan Prayer Flag idea. I created a block print with the design for the ceremony, then printed about 200 flags using recycled fabric in the color scheme of the ceremony. I sewed a fabric strip on each and then asked every member of the congregation to write a wish, hope, dream, or prayer for Bonnie and/or St. Paul's on each flag. The installation turned out very nice. I have done this project several times before, but this one is the most successful yet! Congrats to Bonnie and Katherine!
