PORTRAIT OF FRANK

Portrait of Frank
2008 Woodblock

I rounded a street corner in Haight-Asbury when I spotted him; a young man selling prints. His set-up was simple--an old metal TV tray propped against the proverbial brick wall. I admired his tenacity. Not only were the decisions that he made in his work exemplary, but I walked away happy that I meet him.

BROWN

I feel fortunate for recently meeting Kevin Brown [right] in his gallery- Live Worms, San Francisco CA. It was a pleasure to speak with similar sensibilities and approach to painting.

SANFRANCISCO

Best place to see "Milk".

I love this print for many reasons--foremost, it's a print.

I had a painting instructor tell me not to be afraid to fail. He said that if you are going to make mistakes, make big ones; make them go down in flames. I did. I had a writing instructor who told me the key to writing a convincing argument was to state your ideas clearly she said.






An art critique, just like a plumbing estimate, needs to satisfy a certain amount of criteria before it's ready/understood. Foremost, it's important for the person who is reviewing/estimating to show the how’s and why’s--the bare bones of their argument/bill. It's difficult for words to carry the weight of what one sees, however there are but a few local art critics in Milwaukee who do this well. Here is but one example of a local writer who offers some insight as to her role as an art critic/and advocate.

MY FATHER

The memory of my father is wrapped up in
white paper, like sandwiches taken for a day at work.

Just as a magician takes towers and rabbits
out of his hat, he drew love from his small body,

and the rivers of his hands
overflowed with good deeds.

MKE 9 to 5 Organization

Thank you to the Milwaukee 9 to 5 Organization for hosting your fundraiser this past Friday Night at Gallery 218. In my opinion, I think your level of professionalism, ideals/values, and enthusiasm are incredibly focused and honored, i.e., by not only me, but I would expect by the majority of women working within Wisconsin.

. LA MUJER

I was

Supposed to tamp down these
Words

Hold a few men
And ideas
Hostage

What I did
Was become

Benumbed

Dumb
Struck in your reckoning

Holding my ear
To your ground

This swelling birdbath of light
The waiting room inside loosens its love

I figured what you had
Was not mine

.PAMELA ANDERSON

What I like about artist Pamela Anderson's work is that she has chosen to paint shapes that are impactful and questioning. Anderson's study comes across as bold and timeless in it's execution. I love it.

EXPO '67

a much better construct to think of.
