Lectures at Saint Joseph's College and Norwalk Community College




This past week I was fortunate enough to give lectures on my artwork and my artistic travels at two colleges.

First I spoke on my artwork and my travels to Europe and Japan at Saint Joseph's College in Patchogue, New York. The class was engaged and loved hearing me conclude my lecture with the story when I ran with the bulls and how it relates to my artistic philosophy.

Then I traveled to Norwalk Community College after being invited by one of the instructors. The lecture went very well, with many questions and comments. Critiquing each student's work was above what they expected from me, but I was excited to see what every student was working on. Great work!

A special thank you to Jaqueline Gelfuso and Mari Mogihara for the wonderful opportunities.

Demonstration at The Art League of Long Island




I was invited to give a demonstration at the Art League of Long Island back on November 17. Gina Mars was putting together a demonstration event for that night and asked if I would show how to create paper clay and talk about its advantages.

I agreed without skipping a beat. I gave the presentation with many people very interested, not only in the benefits of adding paper pulp into their clay, but in my artwork.

The crowd was jovial and inquisitive. A wonderful combination.

I want to thank Gina, again, for the great opportunity.
