ART & ARCHITECTURE AT THE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT FONTANA BOATHOUSE

Last night was stormy on the waterfront, with winds so strong they could blow you right off the balcony of the Boathouse. But inside this stunning space, everyone was warm and enjoying the Second Annual Art Show. This juried show is a collaboration of the Boathouse leadership and the Buffalo Society of Artists and it offers a chance to bid on and purchase work for the benefit of  Wright's Fontana Boathouse.  I was honored to receive the second place award for “Best Friends,” (one of my 'Discarded Ancestors' collages).

You can still see the exhibit and bid, up until 4:00 pm Sunday, October 27. It is also your chance to tour the space and appreciate the vision of Frank Lloyd Wright.

HOPE LIKE BLUE SKIES

Can an assemblage and a short story come together in a journal?

Yes, they did in the October issue of the r.kv.r.y quarterly literary journal. My piece, “We Repair Trucks” was used to illustrate a powerful story by Erica Jamieson. Now the assemblage is on its way out to Los Angeles to be part of her collection.  This seems so fitting since the piece is about leaving the rustbelt for bluer skies.
