Award winner at 2008 Bay Area Annual- Sanchez Art Center


Just came back from a great afternoon picking up my " Bikini Trio" from the Bay Area Annual show at the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the Juror's talk yesterday. Maria Medua, director of SFMOMA's Artist's Gallery, was the juror and she unveiled the awards at her talk. But what a great surprize and honor to be given the check upon collecting my pieces this afternoon. We then went to Nick's in Rockaway Beach and had a great crab louie salad. Art, good friends, fresh crab meat and an award all in one afternoon. All in all a great afternoon.

Best Bakery & Guest House in Yunnan, China


I've been back 2 months from accompanying my mum & daughter into China. Yunnan Province to be precise. There are two things that keep coming into my mind and that's Karine's Bakery No. 88 and Erica's Mum's guesthouse. So if any one out there is heading to Dali, specifically old town, here are two fantastic places to go.
Firstly if you crave a piece of divine cheese cake or some home baked bread, cookies or cake, this is the place for you. If you want
excellent scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast or home made museli with real coffee in a french press go here. If you want solice and a warm place to just sit and drink a fresh fruit juice go here. It was our home away from home and Karine, a warm loving german baker is teaching the local village girls how to bake and run a small business, so go and meet them all and send my love.

Then if you have no where to sleep I suggest staying in this wonderful guest house. Its on the top road by the West Gate a five minute walk into the center and near the new large temple and bus center. The family and staff are so kind and friendly. Great shower and western toilet that worked wonderfully. Rooms were clean and inviting.

Pussy Hearts and Love Catchers Inspire



I was happy to receive these wonderful pictures today showing how my art has inspired others to create their own beautiful images. A cross between an Andy Goldsworthy "Nature Installation" and an Antonia Tuppy Lawson "Pussy Heart". Kirsty's Art assignment for this week produced the following:

Ceramic Sculpture at Pacheco Ranch Winery

So last weekend at Phillipe's Ranch I had a blast, for those of you who didn't make it be sure to go next year. It really is a fun event and so inspirational. What a great sculptor and generous host. As it so happens there is no rest for the wicked and so my one free weekend just became booked and this time to another Ranch. The Pacheco Ranch Winery is having its Fall open house and I am invited.
Oc
tober 25th - October 26, 2008 , 11-4 pm both days
Here's what the winery has to say:
"It’s time to come and celebrate another beautiful fall day with us at Pacheco Ranch as we open our doors to you for a day of wine tasting. We will be open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, from 11 to 4pm, so please come join us in celebrating our wines. We will be featuring some local artist ( This is where I come in along with my friend and fellow artist Sue Lasseter !) at the event as well as pouring a selection of library wines. There will also be the opportunity to join our Wine Club, for which you will be able to purchase our wines at a discounted price. We will also be holding special events at the winery throughout the year for our members, so now is a great time to join! We’re looking forward to seeing you there!"
Me too. Looks like I'll be celebrating all month in the good old Libran tradition.

Turning 50 selling Ceramic Sculpture! Nuts!

COME CELEBRATE WITH ME AT
PHILLIPE
GLASHOFF'S V.I.P. SHOW




Well this weekend I turn 50. Weird to say the least cos I still feel like a kid apart from the aching neck and shoulders from years of lifting clay and sculpting. So what do I do? I go to another show! The kids are all dancing and that was my alternative, but then I was given the chance to be part of Phillipe & Chad Glashoff Vip Art Show in Fairfield, I decided that would be more fun than being inside a hotel all weekend. So if any of you are around and want to celebrate too, come out to Phillipe's Fairfield Ranch where there will be wacky art, music, food, wine and of course another 50 year old. Don't forget to bring that piece of rusty old metal, thats your admission in, and don't forget your wallet cos that will make you very popular at times like this.
