The Downtown IC Gallery Walk!

my artwork will be featured in the downtown iowa city gallery walk this spring! it's the same series that was hanging at Terrapin at the end of last year, but in a new location.


i hang the show march 5th at Bella Joli downtown in the ped mall. and on friday, March 6th from 5pm-8pm i will be at that location meeting and greeting those who pass through the door to take a look at my art. there will be champagne, wine and cheese and this event is open to the public. there are also several other locations downtown all within walking distance of one another that will be displaying art of all sorts by other local and regional artists. be sure to check it out! it's a fun event!

this will be a great opportunity for me to interact with the public and talk about my art and hopefully align myself with some potential buyers. the art will be up for display through the end of May 2009. this is a very exciting opportunity for my art career! wish me luck! :)

More info about the event and a listing of all participating venues and artists can be found here.

Green Apple Festival photo credit

last year i worked a freelance gig for earth day. i coordinated the Chase Bank volunteers on Randall's Island and helped compost all of the new plants that were planted that spring.

almost a year later, i get an email from Green Apple Festival asking permission to use a photo that i had taken during the event. i ended up negotiating my first photo license agreement and got paid for it's use. that's my photo on the left. it will be used to promote this years events online and in print! this is off their website, www.greenapplemusicfestival.com.

one of my students wrote me to tell me, "I enjoy having you as a teacher. You are a great one!"

Teaching Photography in 2009

tonight was my first night of teaching digital photography at the local rec center! it had been a decade since i've taught photography and when i did, it was all film and darkroom skills. i absolutely love teaching. it's very rewarding and it keeps me focused on learning myself. in this business, there is always something new to learn and share. teaching makes me very happy! :)
