a long pause...

It is a negative aspect that I allow life's challenges to interrupt the gift that He gave me. I am creative again... and, of course, happy. Not that I was unhappy coping with the daily stresses, but I should know by now that when life offers challenges...CREATE!

Introducing Nicole Moan: MUST SEE!

I met Nicole Moan at a Living Arts of Tulsa event when she was showing her work. I couldn't get enough of her ceramic corsets!


Yes, ceramic. . .


The models swear they aren't uncomfortable.


Nicole mentioned that she dislikes shopping and came up with this idea when she needed something to wear to an art show. She's become one of my favorite artists!


Check out her website below:

Lowly Outhouse as High Art




Exhibit Showcases the Lowly Outhouse as High Art (photos below)

Chances are you've never used one, but all this month some of the prettiest outhouses in Texas are on display in downtown San Antonio. The " Thunderbox Road " art exhibit is going on at the Menger Hotel. There are 12 full-sized "Thunderboxes" or outhouses painted and decorated in true Texas style. Sonja Howle with the Thunderbox Road exhibit says it "was created to pay tribute and showcase the talent we have in the Hill Country artists."In February, the exhibit will be at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. After their tour, the outhouses will be auctioned off to benefit medical research and the Western Art Museum in Kerrville.




















God Bless Texas
'We take pride in our crappers'

End of Forwarded Message





art do you encounter every day without realizing it? No matter what man-made objects you touch, use, or see today, they began as a spark of creativity in someone's right brain. A common phrase in art communities, "Art is Life," is demonstrated in this video. Very amusing, yet thought provoking. Is this example of installation art? Decide for yourself. Enjoy!
