I’ve been trying some mixed media work inspired by my new space. Feathers keep finding me, falling down and blowing into my front doorway along with leaves and dried oleander flowers. I chopped up some pastels from student drawings and made some collages and put them in a pop up show here in Las Cruces. Opening night, nothing but artists; over 60 of us in the gallery space. The curator said the show sold over 8K$. I didn’t know the local artists had that much $. None of my stuff sold, oh well. At least I got to meet a lot of artists.

Still debating the MFA thing; I’m just not sure I want to work that hard. The arts community is great. I’ve been invited to join a co-op in Mesilla (the old part of town). Pretty sure this is happening.

I’m doing an hour demo of Keumboo for CoMa this Sat. From 12-1 at MSUD. There are some interesting artists and techniques being .
