This is one of the busiest fallls I’ve ever had. I guess grad school will do that to you, but then I went and made it even more complicated by scheduling a solo show! But I’m getting ahead of myself.

This Friday, October 13th, half of the MFA graduate students here at UNC are having an Open Studios night at the Hanes Art Center. It should be a fun night, and for many of you it will be the first time you get to see the new students’ work.

Also on Friday, Wootini is opening its Potluck show. The scheduled artist for October cancelled on the gallery, so they invited local artists they may not have worked with to bring in anything they had. I got a sneak peek the other day, and there is some cool stuff showing up. One woman sent in this wire sculpture that was stretched over with pig intestines. It’s actually quite beautiful!

Next month, my first solo show, Playground Rules, will also open at Wootini. I’m getting closer, one piece at a time, to feeling really excited about this show. I’ve got some family arriving for the opening, and more family showing up for Thanksgiving, so they can see the show in-person. I’m feeling the love.

And finally, at the end of November, a book I contributed to will be released. Ask for Plush-o-Rama in your local bookstore starting November 28th!

(and if you are in the Seattle area, don’t forget to go check out Plush You! at Schmancy Toys, up through the beginning of November)
