Rapunzel is finally ensconced in her tower - finished the installation yesterday, May 19th. Whew - I'm exhausted.  Thanks for help from Don (hubby), Denise Johnson, Selena Long, and Aletha Carr. It was great to finally see all the components merged together for the first time - I had never been able to have all three levels together in the studio. Looking forward to seeing it "in action" with the children on Saturday and also seeing the previews of the other installations Wednesday night at the Designer's Party. A friend reminded me this week that after I moved to Nashville in 2003 we had visited Cheekwood and that I was so enamored of the Museums and the Gardens and mentioned at that time that I would love to exhibit there . . . wow!  It really confirms that "Reality is a Dream Enacted." I added the birdhouse, sandtoys, and the mailbox after the fact and my husband built in a balance beam nearby . . . just a few more things to see and do spread out around the footprint of Rapunzel's Tower. Cheers! For Art's Sake, sher

  Just a few images from the studio . . . The roof of Rapunzel's Tower which will have a tolling bell installed inside; Rapunzel's head is completed; my daughter Claire helping out with painting the pegs; my studio break of some fantastic Pomegranate wine; you can also see the portraits painted by Selena Long of the King and Queen.  All is going well and it is time for the bells and whistles . . . I'm having a blast - but I know several important people in my life are feeling a bit neglected.  Still searching for balance . . . For Art's Sake, sher
