I hope you can take a minute to enjoy this memory we had together, and just a funny video on it's own. Got to love those lazy susans! I remember that evening to be quite a special one and hope we can repeat it each semester. Those of you who did not make it, we missed you and by the size of this table you can see we had plenty of room and food to share!! The idea came to me to do an art swap when we return in June. I will send out a reminder, if you are interested bring a small piece of art, 8x10 or under, place it in a sealed envelope, then we will do a blind draw. It will not take long and it will be a nice way to start a collection. (hit play even though it is black!!)

Luz Elena Moreno is a Mexican artist that I have come to really enjoy. Her work involves a great deal of mysticism and deep meaning regarding the symbolism that surrounds the angels she paints.  She talks about feelings & dreams and suggests maybe giving a message to the religious subconscious of each person.  I especially like the thematic narrative in her work and the use of wings.

Returning from my first MFA residency at AIB-Lesley I found myself propelled from academia to the fiery excitement of creating. I was immediately excited to work on my male series and my narrative with women. I am inspired by color and clothing and location and especially the esthetic of the 50's and 60's. For this body of work I have decided to work my ideas through the concept of "Madwomen" spun from the series "Madmen" and the thought of the women in that era, how they are portrayed in the show, alway waiting for the man, and always seeming a bit vacant to me.
