Theme: Found Objects  

From discarded items to organic materials, this exhibition will feature works emphasizing the transformation of forgotten or overlooked objects into compelling visual art. We encourage participants to interpret this theme broadly and present their unique vision.

Selected work: Danger

Danger

Image statement:

Walking along Mississippi River Road in Saint Paul, Minnesota I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge. I first thought this sign needed to heed its warning, but more profound thoughts went to COVID and civil unrest while living in Minnesota; and how we are failing one another as a society.  Simple gestures of kindness towards others seemed something of the past being replaced with a “me” civilization with extreme views laced with violence instead of using words and basic respect for one another, knowing that we can agree to disagree and still live in peace.  I believe we are all here to help raise each other up when we fall giving each other the support we need while dealing with life circumstances.

Patiently Waiting comes from two souls that found each other in human form; spending their days together as one.  Until one day she passes on separating them into two.  She lays patiently waiting for her true love to join her again.

Photozaic statement:

How can I construct an image that moves beyond the surface? Photozaics, of course!

My award-winning Photozaics are inspired where Van Gogh’s textures meet Ansel Adam’s simplicity near the intersection of Bob Ross’ healing vibes. This technique is a labor-intensive multi-step process and starts out with my journey into nature; recording the landscapes that spark my eye may it be rolling hills or a babbling brook.  After modifying the composition, I take the print and head to the stained-glass shop to find matching colors.  I cut the glass by hand taking smaller shards, and placing them in a rock tumbler to remove sharp edges while larger pieces are sanded by hand and assembled the frame.  Grouting finishes the artwork allowing the detail of each cut glass shape adding the texture to my art.

Photozaic below is sized 20x17x1- All are unique works of art that are a must-see and feel!

Pine Edged Road

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined.  The only thing you can do is breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step.  Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender.  Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me.  I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes.  All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks.  Get out in nature and recharge your soul!

Winter Solstice at the Griffin

Exhibition Date – December 9, 2021 – January 2, 2022

Reception Date December 9th – 6 pm

It was a well-visited exhibition. We had over 200 people during our artist reception and over the course of the month, we saw 273 people during regular business hours. With covid keeping people home, this was a great showing I think.
We featured the work on our Instagram stories and posts, and those posts received collectively around 1k views.

Artwork statement

This image reminded me of my childhood and every time I saw a Goatsbeard, I would pick it and make a wish.  So, in this image, I see wishes and choose to hold on to my innocent belief that they are not weeds but wishes delivered to the Universe via a simple breeze.  So next time you see a Dandelion, stop, pick the weed, and make your wish! Only true believers will see their wishes materialize!
