My Full Fall Semester

Another rocking semester at Tyler School of Art comes to a close. I’ve been swamped since the semester ended in early December, but I wanted to put out a summary before I’m whisked off into the next adventure. I took three studio courses and two gen eds. One of the GenEds was Intellectual Heritage II. […]

Foundation Year Wrap Up

It’s hard to believe I’ve only done about two posts on here in the last year, but sometimes that is the way life rolls. The semester is over and I have actually completed my Foundation year at Tyler School of Art. That’s freshman year for you folks who don’t know about art school. It was […]

What’s in a name?

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, right? Recently much to my amazement, but not that of my friends, I was accepted into Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. My application process was complicated by the fact that I actually attended Temple in 1984. I was a Music Major in the College […]

Do-Over

It’s not often I get to go back over pieces I made and redesign, but I had the chance recently. For Christmas 99/2000 I made a piece I had been visualizing for a while. It was for my godson, Cameron. (age 8 at that time) I had a beautiful green stone and I wanted to […]

The most recent renovation […]

Traveling with Tools

I love sharing what I do, whether it’s art, music, metal, whatever. Joy shared is joy multiplied. Today I am packing my tools up to travel to The Gateway Burn, a regional Burning Man event in Missouri. We’ll be camping with our dear friends, Chris and Cherie of Technomadia. This will be my first “burn” type event, […]

Class deadline approaching

It will take place May 10 to May 14. Class size is small to allow for plenty of individual instruction, […]

Light Painting

glowing Originally uploaded by silvergoldberry Most of my art the last few years has been jewelry. But in the last few months I’ve been trying to get back to my roots. I’m very happy with the water color I did last fall and I’ve been finding myself enjoying taking pictures even more. In fact I […]
