I could not be more pleased to have images of my work on a construction site wall. It's located on James Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues in down town Seattle. In fact I stood next to it telling the people who walked by that it's my artwork. One man from India was kind enough to stop and look at it. It was so funny. I want to make a Youtube of doing that.
Thank you to the Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs.
This piece was awarded second place at the show! Yippee skippee.
An alter at Seattle Center's Day of the Dead celebration. Photo by my seester.
An alter was assembled, complete with Dylan music for my Uncle Bill. The painting was done by my grandmother Alice Lolita Rhodes Judkins. Most of his ashes have been scattered in the place he loved most. I couldn't make it but my sister was there and she took this photo. "Today was a good day to scatter ashes".
Diane, Ross and Marita and I drove to Wenatchee for the opening of the Recycled Art of the Icicle Prize Judges Show. Traffic wasn't bad and the car was full of lively conversation. Marita brought freshly baked chocolate chip cookies still warm from the oven.
The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center is housed in an old post office and is grand and quaint at the same time. Complete with an original WPA .
If you go there, don't miss a thing. Be sure to see the art and the apple catapult.
Marita admires a quilt by Ross Palmer Beecher made of 7-up cans and inner tubes.
Diane sports one of her trash fascinaters made from caution tape.
Ross checks out one of Marita's pieces in the cabinet , where the majority of my work is installed, front and center. It looks great.
It was a fun evening!

Herberholz's work has a lot to do with the childhood he never had being the youngest of 16 children.His complicated constructions are playful and visually appealing.
Wonderly's work is about paying respect to the tin and it's history, creating lively color combinations with vintage graphics.
Fillius' are narrative pieces that are humorous with a dark edge.
