My first solo art show in Chico! I've made so many new pieces for this show. It's pretty exciting to see a whole room of just my stuff. And they have great lighting and ambiance. My band is going to be playing an acoustic set at 6PM. I hope y'all can make it! You HAVE to see my mosaic pair of boots at least. The reception is Friday Feb 5th, 5-7 PM in the Humanities Center Gallery at CSU Chico. Email me for directions: robinindar@yahoo.com
Finally the art panel is up for everyone to take a good look. One hospital employee came by in scrubs and stopped to look. Then he says "I dunno. I just don't get abstract art". Back to work you! This will make a nice counter top someday, you'll see!
Yes, another successful art tour. Lots of new visitors this year, as well as familiar die hards. Maybe they were coming for the live music? Well no one was drinking the cheap wine I had on hand so we threw a BBQ after party and it all disappeared rapidly. Here's Josh wooing the potential art buyers.
Open Studios Art tour was not bad this year. The weather was behaving and my kids were being extra helpful. Look, even Gibby decided to mow the lawn for me!
This is a 5' x 3' arched panel to be installed in a niche at Enloe Hospitals new parking structure. It will be facing outwards on a sidewalk for all to take a gander. It's part of a new program many hospitals are accepting, called Planetree in which art is included in plain sight of patients and visitors to aid in the healing process. Pretty cool..
I was going to title this entry "Eat your heart out Pele!" but as a lava goddess, Pele seems to have a lot of anger, and I really don't wanna be messing with any angry volcano gods right now. Here is the lava flow mosaic I've been working on for a couple of weeks now. The edges are lined with glow-in-the-dark glass with little chips throughout the lava to glow like hot embers (although electric blue). I'll be grouting tommorow. I'm happy to showcase my Rebel Tiles custom circles in this piece. Yay!
Anyone who knows the Gibs knows that he is one messy character. He conned me into taking him to work with me one day, and was actually quite a good little helper for the first half hour or so. But the usual Gibs persona kicked in at that point and he became sure that he could do a better job without tools and by just smearing his fingers in the thinset. I won't be bringing him to work tomorrow..
