ArT tAlk aT oLyMpIA TiMbErLaNd LiBrArY


I was invited by Kelsey Smith quite some months ago to come a do a short talk and answer questions with an another WA artist at the Library in Olympia. I will be bringing a selection of my current artwork with me and I will be talking about "my artistic process". (You know the magical process of wandering around the studio, talking to yourself, picking up pieces of junk and trying to make them stick together) I did a fair amount of public speaking when I was a kid, so I am not without skills, but its been a long time and this will be my first "official talk" about my artwork and I have to say I am a bit nervous. If your in the area stop by and make faces at me.
