Silver Balls for Cookies - DRAGEES

-
I have always been fascinated by these supposedly non-edible COOKIE DECORATIONS. (The FDA says they have a minute amount of heavy metals.) It does seem strange to eat what looks like little balls of mercury. At least they are considered non-toxic?

2006 - 2020 Gallery Shows

Image
In 2006, I had my first show at the Augen Gallery in Portland, Oregon (my first actual gallery shows were at the Marghitta Feldman Gallery 2003-2005) in Portland. I was 36, and was THRILLED to be in such a great gallery that championed my work. I worked my ass off, made art 6 days a week, and taught at the Art Institute of Portland, and my art was reviewed by Richard Speer in ArtNEWS Magazine! I had many shows afterward, sold a lot of art, connected with individuals and then it ran its course.

CONVERSATION - Christi Belcourt

-
Image
Canadian artist Christi Belcourt created this dotted floral pattern painting on a black background symbolizing nineteenth-century Métis beadwork . From her Lessons from the Earth exhibition (2003) the central flower symbolizes her mentor, a woman who was a great connector. As a fan of anything floral and decorative, this intricate piece is right down my alley: color, pattern, folk art-oriented and whimsy. The Conversation , 2003 Acrylic on Canvas 52" x 52"
