Our friends lived next door to a satsuma tree.
That one tree brought joy on Saturday mornings.
Up and down the ladder, children climbed.
Stretching. Grasping. Tossing.
It was an embarrassment of riches by the time they were done.
Then on to the kumquats.
My thanks to David Carol and Ashly Stohl for including this on the Curated Fridge this spring.
I am thrilled that this image of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Rodney, Mississippi is included in the Greenville Arts Council’s Biennial Mississippi Invitational.
The opening reception is Friday, April 26th from 5:30 to 7:30pm.
My heartfelt thanks to Doyle Gertjejansen for the time and effort he put into curating NO/JXN at Barrister’s Gallery in New Orleans.
It was amazing to be included in an exhibit with some of my favorite Mississippi artists– Allan Innman, Charles Carraway, Ellen Rodgers, Twiggy, Dan Piersol, Ke Francis! Plus, I really enjoyed showing some different work– overlapping double exposures.
Each image is 33x17 inches. An edition of five. If you are interested in purchasing one, email me and I will send you more information.
Here is a review from New Orleans Art Insider about the show.
The exhibit ran from January 12, 2019 through February 2nd.
Thank you to Sarah Kennel for including this image on the Winter 2019 Curated Fridge! I got fussed at for taking this photo, so it always makes me grin like a cheshire cat when it moves around in the world.
It is hard to believe that it has been two years since Ellen Rodgers and I had a duel exhibit at the Fischer Galleries in Jackson, Mississippi!
A year earlier, in 2016, I had written down some five year goals/dreams–a gallery exhibit was at the top. Yet, it was something that I hardly dared to think about much. Then I met some people, like Will Jacks, Jamie Aelavanthera, and Rebekah Flake, who encouraged me to share work I was making. In preparation for a portfolio review, I took photographs by to Marcy, which led, to my surprise, to Runes exhibiting in January 2017.
I am still overwhelmed with gratitude whenever I think about that show and the people who purchased our work. My thanks to all of you!
My gratitude to Aline Smithson for featuring Peice of Heart on Lenscratch in December. Lenscratch is a go-to website for me to learn about the latest in photography. If you have never visited the website, be prepared to spend days feasting your eyes and learning!
What a wonderful surprise! My heartfelt gratitude to Alexa Dilworth and Aline Smithson for choosing Sialia Sialis for first place and the Paul Conlan award! I am really looking forward to presenting work during the 2019 Slow Exposures. Hope you’ll come see me there.
The Slow Exposures’ Sweet 16 juried exhibition was up September 20-23, 2018 in Concord, Georgia.
Michael Howard writes, “this project deals with signs across America that speak of the Bible, God, Jesus, Heaven, Hell, and other American Christian themes. Not only are the messages on the signs intriguing, but their construction and the intention behind them provokes questions.”
The South is littered with Biblical imagery. As these roadside signs often get my mind churning, I am please that several images are included in this exhibit.
The Roadside Jesus exhibit will be up October 7th through November 28th, 2018 in Louisville, Kentucky.
As part of SlowExposures 2018, Due South Co-op presented a weekend pop up of Four Kinds of Y’all.
We were open Friday, September 21 through Sunday, September 23, 2018 at the Pike County Chamber of Commerce, 416 Thomaston Street, Zebulon, GA 30295.
It is a honor to have two images included into The Cedars 7th Annual Art Show, juried this year by Wyatt Waters. One thing I love about Mississippi is its artists and art community–this is a wonderful chance to see some amazing work.
The show is up through September 2018.
