Dail and I met today to hash out some detail of the mentor program. We're feeling really excited and hope that you will join us for the planning meeting at Gya on Saturday, July 10th at noon.
We're going to start small, with only about 5 mentors and mentees for our first year.
I'm working on an informational packet for mentors and parents. If you would like a copy, please contact Dail or me.

Art Mentor Program in St. Louis
I'm really excited to be working with fellow Women's Caucus for Art (WCA) Board Member Dail Chambers work to start a new community program. We are in the midst of planning a mentor program for girls in St. Louis ages 13-19 who are interested in the arts. The program will be offered through the St. Louis Chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art and we are hoping to partner with other local arts organizations.
We will use the Gya women's arts cooperative as out meet-up place. We will be working to develop programming to include workshops, portfolio development, and field trips to the St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM) and local art galleries. We also want to give the girls an opportunity to exhibit their art.
If you are not a member of the WCA but are interested in becoming a mentor, we are still interested in having you.
If you are interested in becoming part of the planning team, we would love to talk with you.
If you know young ladies who would enjoy being part of this program, please talk to us and we will be in touch when we get the program off the ground.

Ceramics
I've been puttering around on my potter's wheel lately - what fun it is to play with mud.
I also photographed some ceramic work from 2005-2007. Well, they might all be 2006-2007. I think most of the earlier stuff wasn't worth keeping or photographing. Friend me on facebook to see the whole album of images.

Award!
Tonight was the opening of the exhibition "Contemporary Women Artists XV: Art As Activism" at the Foundry Art Center in St. Charles. All the work was well worth it. The show looked great, we had a big turn-out, and Yolanda Lopez's gallery talk was wonderful! She selected 3 works for the juror's choice awards and 5 honorable mentions. I am happy and honored that one of the juror's choice awards was selected for my installation piece, "Temporal, Cyclical."
It is so wonderful to have that sort of recognition for work that I love but that I sometimes worry isn't saying what I hope it says. I have to say that Yolanda is amazing and for her to choose my work for the show in the first place was quite wonderful. That was enough so receiving an award on top of that was like chocolate in my latte!
