Split Personalities was inspired by the soft sculptures of Claes Oldenberg. I am sure Claes is excited about the frolicking human brain too.

Foundry, Self Reflections, Messages to Me
Messages to Me has been accepted into the exhibit “Self Reflections” at the Foundry Art Centre. A friend had given me a small box of glass slide mounts. They were one of those things that drew me in, I just liked them. Why, I am not sure.
It is likely we all have those things in our stashes.
It took a few years, this and another piece were the result. Plus, the small sections of glass have been used in other works. Such a bounty!
Webster Arts, Relationships, Four Seasons
Four Seasons, one in a series inspired by the Jeffersonian Grid of the United States, is a visual depictions of the relationship between farmers and their land. Farmers are acutely aware of how the soil will respond the weather.
They must develop that knowledge and love for their land to invest their time, toil and wealth to raise crops to feed our nation.
Saint Louis Artists’ Guild, Ann Maritz Members’ Exhibit
Ice dying is easy and the results are fantastic – usually. The results can be steered, however they cannot be controlled. Ice melt meanders at its whim. Actually, results have been good for me, maybe luck? Or maybe it is the willingness to accept a wide range of intriguing colors.

Emerge Gallery and Art Center, The Schwa Show, Blue Man Grouper
“Blue Man Grouper” is whimsical in its title and imagery. However, its message addresses pollution, asking what if air pollution gets so horrible that humans must learn to live under water – not that our waters are all that much better.
Webster Arts, Red, Family of Four
A painting from Kacey, yes it is!. Is is a large acrylic painting, 45″H x 43″W. Painting with acrylic has a useful aspect. When your brush is dipped into several colors, they remain separate on the canvas. Oil paint melds, it blends beautifully. These attributes are neither good nor bad – just different.
Foundry Art Centre, Global Impact – Wake of COVID, Hands
Due to COVID 19 we must wash our hands more often and more thoroughly, we must be conscious of keeping them clean and COVID free. What a chore! And it is a scary time.
Stuck at home? Or we can use our hands to make opportunities to do projects that have been put off until we have more time, call friends we have not talked to for a while and create spaces where it is safe to visit in person.
The Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles, MO has produced an exhibit addressing this frustrating issue.
