Arts East Open House

Bruce and I rubbed shoulders with local artists tonight. We knew Linda Jones and spoke with her. We also know Steve Feldman, he is an illustrator for magazines and was Andrew's soccer coach last year. Here is his website http://www.stevefeldman.com/. The painting he did is on News tab. Karen Erickson had a gorgeous batik lampshade. My wall hanging is in the room on the right and the pilla is in the main room in the back on the left on a tier.

There is a book with the artists profiles in it for $3. I didn't have any money so will get mine next week. The show is at EOU M-F from 11am to 4pm.

Here is my artist's statement:"I graduated from SUSC (SUU) with a major in English. I taught High School English for two years on the Navajo Indian Reservation. I am a substitute teacher in the La Grande School District. I have a small costume shop in my home. I also do genealogy and yard sales.

This is my second showing at EOU. My first project for EOU was a Mt. Emily watercolor fabric wall hanging in March 2009.

I have won 4 blue ribbons at the Union County Fair. I also won a blue ribbon at a judged Baker Quilt show in 2001 and I have shown my work in the annual Quilt Questers Quilt Show since 2000.

I enjoy creating visual art that tells a history of the individual or subject."

I won another ribbon at the fair this year for my black, white and green challenge quilt so I can say five blue ribbons now! ta dah

I am going to take a class tomorrow afternoon "Artist's blogs" and see what they say to do. don Gray is the teacher and it is at Loso Hall.
