In the spring of 2013, twenty-five of my paper sculptures from the Follett Collection in McHenry, Illinois were on display at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. During that show I participated in a five day artist residency and explored with students, the possibilities of paper as an art medium.
Since 1976, 900 or more original pieces of art from over 500 international artists are considered each year by a trio of jurors in preparation for the internationally acclaimed “Birds In Art” show.
My daughter Elizabeth and I shared space in the same gallery room in 2016 with her graphite piece (seagull) and my paper sculpture (magpies).
Chatting with my mentors and fellow artists is always enlightening while the enthusiasm of the collectors and gallery visitors provides fuel for many months to come after this amazing show.
