Create Something!

For each day in June, I’ll be participating in 30 Days of Creativity. Whether it’s a poem, a doodle, a sculpture, a photo, cookies or simply arranging my lunch to look like Kate Middleton, I’m going to create something!

The Nutropolitan Museum of Art

Last week, I was invited to the world’s first PB&J art exhibit, The Nutropolitan Museum of Art- a pop-up art exhibit at Openhouse Gallery sponsored by Peanut Butter & Company & the National Peanut Board. It was a simple, happy atmosphere. I mean, who doesn’t love peanut butter?

Art Review: The Black Acid Co-Op

Jars in the Attic

A couple weeks ago, I had the privilege of stumbling across a free art installation in New York at the Deitch Projects annex. I’ve never had to sign a waiver regarding injury  & death upon entering a gallery, so naturally I signed my life away and barreled through the garage door [...]

Opera for a Small Room

An anonymous obsession becomes a landscape of sound.

Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller discovered an extensive collection of opera records at a thrift shop in small town Canada. A man scrawled his name on every record sleeve- R. Dennehy. Fascinated and puzzling over what role opera played in his life, the artists [...]
