To see and buy my work
You can view most of my work for sale online here.
I have work in the Contemporary Crafts exhibition at Tohono Chul Park (7366 N. Paseo del Norte, Tucson), which runs June 3–July 13, 2009. Enjoy the garden and two exhibitions—Contemporary Crafts and Re-Visions—and take refreshment in the tea room.
My next show will be July 3–5, 2009, in Flagstaff, AZ. The Flagstaff Art in the Park show runs 9 a.m.–6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m.–4 p.m. on Sunday. Come enjoy the Fourth of July in the cool of northern Arizona!
Until my next show, feel free to contact me at any time to arrange for a private showing of work, at my studio or in your home. In addition, I continuously have pieces for sale in the Tucson Museum of Art gift shop (140 N. Main Ave., in downtown Tucson) and at Más y Más gallery (24 Tubac Rd., in Tubac, AZ).
I can also share my work long-distance, via webcam. All you need is a relatively fast Internet connection and an instant messaging service such as Windows Live Messenger, AIM, or Skype. You do not need a webcam yourself. Email me and we’ll set up a session!
Old news
The “Wood You Believe” show at Details Art and Design (3001 E. Skyline Drive #139, in Tucson) was so successful that the owners want to make it an annual event, so mark your calendars for next fall. I organized the show, and it featured my work as well as work by sculptor and carver Kathy Haun, sculptor Robert Rice, turner Wally Dickerman, jewelry box maker Thomas Wurr, and turner Pat Reddemann.
In July, I was a guest on the radio show “Circles of Change,” hosted by Dr. Zara Larsen. You can hear the interview at Zara’s web site.
A new German woodturning magazine, Drechsler Magazin: Das moderne Fachmagazin für Hobby, Profi und all Interessierten, ran a story on the International Turning Exchange in its spring 2008 issue. The story featured some of my photographs from the ITE, as well as photos by John Carlano of our work. I’ve forgotten all my German, so I can’t read the story, but it looks good!
Woodwork: A Magazine for All Woodworkers ran photos of work from the ITE turners in its February issue (p. 41). The caption for my piece is wrong, though: the actual title of the piece is “Learning to Cope: Pear Incognito under a Mantle of Cherry.”
Back from the “ConneXtions” exhibition at the AAW gallery in St. Paul, MN, are two pieces inspired by the internment of Japanese immigrants and Japanese-American citizens in “relocation camps” in the United States during World War II. My friend Terry Bendt, a glass beadmaker, and I collaborated on their creation.
