A Woo-Woo Kind of Day

Wow. I have had a real woo-woo experience. For a week, I have been worrying about how I’m going to have to move everything in my studio around like a big old three-dimensional puzzle in order to stash the pieces that are stacked around  so that my friend Richard Dana can have some nice clean space to work this summer since I have bequeathed it to him while I’m in Truro. (leaving Saturday!). And then yesterday morning bright and early I got a call from Julia Morelli, formerly Gallery Director at Nevin Kelly and now an arts coordinator for Prince Georges’ County, asking me if they can show my work this summer at the Headquarters of the Maryland National Parks and Planning Commission and the Prince Georges’ County Parks and Recreation Dept. And I said yes and she and Phil Davis, Gallery Director of the Brentwood Arts Center, came to the studio that afternoon and picked out more than 20 pieces, packed them up and drove away with them. Storage problem solved! So if you’re in Upper Marlboro or Greenbelt, check it on out.


This is like one of those stories where you wish so so very very hard for something and the universe just gives it to you. I think I’ll write a book about that; maybe I’ll call it “The Woo-woo Factor”. I bet nobody’s every written anything like that before.

These are a couple of the pieces they took - an oilbar from the "Circular Reasoning" series and one of the big monoprints from the "Neurotransmitter" series.
