SEVEN FLYING EAGLES 
Freedom Park
Learning Center 
Prescott, Wisconsin 
May 27th through July 6th.


  SEVEN FLYING EAGLES was made specifically for the Freedom Park show.  
It was good to challenge myself to work as large as my kiln would handle.   
I wanted to make something that would fill the 20' wall and look like one big work, instead of dozens of smaller ones.  I surfed on a wave of the proverbial learning curve, though, as one blew up in into smithereens in my kiln and had to be remade.  


The seven backgrounds align in a continuum.  
Each tile is about 14 X 17 inches and will be for sale as a group or individually.

Mayo Hospital Eau Claire Pediatric Wing

"The Endless Cosmic Chase" installed in Eau Claire's new Pediatric Waiting area at Mayo Hospital. Making a night sky on a checkered blue wall was a challenge!  These Southern Sky Constellations hopefully spark interest for adolescent kids as they note the mytholgical names used in Harry Potter, recognize the star patterns and have a notion of the Ecliptic in their night sky.

John Turulas amazing sculpture for the same room, opposite wall.  I did take part here by doing the color glazing of the birds, flowers and insects.

Another wall here has 8 of my fancifal fish. 
The room is quite stunning with all its interactive gizmos, floors light up with flowers where you walk in one area....


This is Orion from the Constellation Wall, he bears a striking resemblence to Gary, my husband.

And this is Jon Thorpe the personna in charge of art for Mayo Eau Claire...he makes it possible for us.

available work

OPENING is CLOSED


(or only partially ajar)

Upcoming Show:
At Margy's
  Open Studio
November 13, 2011

Due to wonderfully unexpected


curcumstances,

work which must be finished

 in short order,

the afore promissed

 Open Studio has been cancelled.

My studio will be packed with spread out work which will not allow for lots of visitors at once.
I  won't have space for an "opening" type event, open area for more than 5 people, nor appropriate space for guest artists.



   HOWEVER!
 
Please do come by

any weekday by appointment 

 I have plenty of displayed work available!

       At John Turula's studio,
 Site # 15 on the map (see website above)
   Upcoming OPEN STUDIO
 at Margy Jean's, Sunday NOVEMBER 13th
It's fall and the leaves are peaking, glowing, stunning..........Lots of new work including several platters, the kind you can leave out on the deck for bright color................John T. has the parts laid out at his studio (which you can glimpse if you come to Fresh Art)  for a huge wall installation soon to be mosaic-ed into Eau Claire's Mayo (Luther) Hospital for the Pediatric wing.  I am glad to have been able to help out a small part too............... I have stuff in a gallery in Stillwater now, TAMARAK............  ABODE in Stockholm  is still doing a great job representing my work, and CORNERSTONE Gallery in Baraboo, I also try to keep current there, although it is pretty far to keep the work fresh...............Now beginning a school of fish, for consideration at the Eau Claire site..............  Just finished up a beautiful commemorative bench that turned out as I had hoped made of welded iron (not my part) and three tall flower garden tiles on the back.
