The Ohio Valley Art League in Henderson, Kentucky is in the process if celebrating Audubon's life. I am one of about 13 fiber artist selected to participate in this exhibit. I have created two pieces to display in the "Audubon In Cloth" exhibit. I love celebrating and creating anything dealing with nature. The exhibit is running from June 12 to August 1, 2010. If you will be visiting the area during that time you can get more information on the website http://www.ohiovallyart.org/.

It's been a year to the day since I last posted. Seems like I have not been doing much? Well far from it. Family life sometimes gets in the way of doing what you want to do. Here's a bit of great news I want to share. September 16, 2010 I will be leaving for Ghana, Africa. I am so excited. I am now working on sending my last payment and getting paper work together. The list of things I need to take is quit extensive. Why am I going to Africa? The purpose for me taking this trip is to experience first hand the crafts of the African culture and the role art plays in the society their and the disopora. I will be engaged in workshops, lectures from African artist, and of course shopping! I will aslo, visit other areas of Africa and experience daily life in that country. There is also a mission component to this travel. I will be visiting an Orpanage. I am now in the process of making items to take with me to give to the children who live in the orpanage. And Then there's the relaxing element. I will experience a spa treament on the beach. Looking forward to that.
