So how do you decide to attend either your daughter's Kindergarten Graduation (they just announced the date Friday) or the museum opening of your first solo public art design (which has been on the calendar for months)????

Here is an update of my progress on Rapunzel's Tower:
This is an image of the gorgeous logo that Cheekwood Museum Art & Gardens has created for the exhibition - isn't it wonderful!??!! Please visit their website at www.cheekwood.org for more press releases related to the exhibition.
One of the great things about Cheekwood is that you hit every essence of visual art - botanical, visual, historical . . . it goes on and on - even the old stables have been re-used as installation and video exhibition spaces - and, even though it is an historical venue, they include gallery space for Contemporary Art as well. Next year, along with a group of amazing women artists, I will be included in an exhibition "CARE: The Art & Science of Motherhood, a Bio-Ethical Debate" curated by Adam McCoy. Please visit Cheekwood if you are anywhere NEAR Nashville, TN!
Upper level of Rapunzel's Tower, minus the roof and lower tower level, minus the 3-D sculpture of Rapunzel, and minus the portrait panels of the King, Queen, and Enchantress.
A view of the roof panels (uncut) with the custom-dyed glazes for the panels.
I also purchased all of the flag/banner material and have been working on the designs for the flag . . . busy, busy, busy! It really came in handy to have kept all of my class materials from teaching Renaissance Art at the elementary school - I've even used the stencils from our Heraldry lessons. Everyone always wonders why artists need so much storage space . . . my reply is - "to you it is junk, but to me it is an artist's treasure trove."
Just a few weeks to go!
For Art's Sake,
