thanks! coming from a great artist, i really appreciate your words. it may not have been your favorite, or maybe it was, but beanie-baby ark, at new gallery, was as cool as anything ever done in assemblage!

As I said to Solomon Kane, it is a cop-out not utilizing the space provided to fully list artist/performers/venues. It is NOT a popularity listing but a self-reflective opportunity to see how/where you have grown. What & who influences you? Why? When and How? Therewith other artists will also have an opportunity to get a handle on what your visual language's vocabulary is meant to convey. It is a chance to find the depth of means for you, your gallerist and your viewers, communicating in word associations, visually descriptive cues. The visual ciphers of an artists name can be so helpful when at a loss for the appropriate words. Besides, if it's to be written or said, do it thus with a clarity where visual association clues assist. There are always avenues, references and reflectors into the vocabulary nuances YOUR visual language elicits ........ ART IS FROM ART, ta dah!
Looking forward to scrutinizing your lists. No fair ONLY blue-chipping or ONLY glad-hand-listing with friends.

Hi HJB, it is an honor, and yes it is a cop-out not listing my favorite artists/performers. And now, since I have been caught, I will up date it though I am the worlds worst procrastinator( and maybe speller). Your work is amazing and I have been a big fan for a long time. John Runnels showed me one of your pieces with string and blacklights once at Mother Dogs. Will Robinson gave me some of your bio materials when he had Pascal Robinson Gallery, but like I told Earl Staley, being in a show with both of you at Sippora's was really cool and a really big thing for me. Getting the other female artists to sit in our laps for a picture was also pretty cool, but for me, anytime you can get a female to sit in your lap other than your wife, its a cool thing. Anyway, Amy Ferrari sat in mine and we wound up sharing a studio for the next 2 years.
I would be interested in finding our more about your art therapy programs. Also one last thing, 2 quotes about life from Samuel Butler an English writer from the 1800's. "Life is the art of drawing suffcient conclusions from from insufficient premises." and also " Life is not an exact science, it is an art." SK _
