Last Sunday was the one-year anniversary of my home window gallery! I named it the Center&Miller Window Gallery, because my home is at the corner of Center Avenue and Miller Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin. The gallery is in a medium-sized window right next to my front door. You can read about the opening one year … Continue reading window gallery 1-year anniversary 3.25.2021
The Center & Miller Window Gallery is still going strong. I've changed out the gallery art weekly for 12 weeks now. Recently, my sweetheart installed an adjustable shelf, so now I can display my ceramic pieces in the gallery along with 2D work. Due to COVID, we're in self retreat, which means we try NOT … Continue reading window gallery update 6.18.2020
One of my 2020 goals was to open some kind of "window gallery" in my home. When I walk past art galleries on city streets and see the art hanging in their window, I usually wish I, too, had such a big gallery window to display my art in. Then at some point last year, … Continue reading window gallery 3.26.2020
I visited the Natural Path Sanctuary last week to view their current outdoor art exhibit, titled "Earth Dance 2019." This is the fourth year that area artists have created installations in the woods, using only materials that can safely decompose back into the land.

I just returned from my annual vacation in Denver, Colorado. The main reason I go is to visit both of my daughters. But there are plenty of great art museums to visit while I'm there, too. This time I toured the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art, which has been closed on my two previous … Continue reading Colorado art redux, 2018 6.28.2018
I just finished up with 3 art sales in the last 2 weeks. Whew! It's a lot of work! Here's a photo of the lists I make in order to keep myself sane. Each show requires different setup and display supplies, so checking items off the list as I gather them up helps keep me organized. … Continue reading spring art sales 5.10.2018
Earlier this week I visited the Chazen Museum of Art, located in the city I currently live - Madison, Wisconsin - on the University of Wisconsin campus. It's a wonderful, free museum with plenty of delicious art, and I went specifically to see an exhibit they have up through April 22, titled "Ancestral Modern: Australian … Continue reading art museum visit 3.29.2018
This is my second of two posts about art I saw in Denver, Colorado during my visit there last month. For this year's visit, the only art museum or gallery I went to was the Denver Art Museum. I was lucky to be there for a small contemporary Japanese ceramics exhibit titled "From the Fire." … Continue reading Colorado art redux, 2017, round 2 11.30.2017
Last month I made my annual trek To Denver, Colorado to visit my daughters Elly and Berit, and as usual, I visited the wonderful Denver Art Museum.

If you ever travel to Denver, I urge you to take … Continue reading Colorado art redux, 2017, round 1 11.16.2017
