Fort Collins Studio Tour

I just found out that I have been accepted to participate in the Fort Collins Art Studio tour. The Fort Collins Studio Tour will be held on Saturday and Sunday, June 25 and 26, 10 am – 5 pm both days. The Fort Collins Studio Tour is an educational experience that enhances the understanding and appreciation of the visual arts by giving people a first hand experience with the artists in their studios, the creative process and the artwork.

The Fort Collins Studio Tour is free to the public. Visitors may pick up the map/brochure at the Lincoln Center
and other locations around Fort Collins, or may download it from the internet at www.lctix.com. Several bike
loops will be noted on the map to encourage visitors to leave their cars at home while visiting the studios. Artists
will be ready to make arrangements for pick-up or delivery of artwork.

The Lincoln Center will host an exhibit featuring one artwork from each artist from June 23rd – 26th at the Art
Lab gallery. A public reception for the artists will be held on Friday, June 24th, 6-9 p.m

Time to get into the studio and get cracking!

Viva la Zippers!

Here are a few pictures of the pieces sold at the WPA 2011 Art Auction. I am so pleased to have more of my zipper pieces floating around Washington DC. More zipper sculptures to come... I am really loving them. Thanks everyone who bid and the new owners of these little dudes.
