A Marvelous May

My first experience at ArtFields as an exhibiting artist was a whirlwind and two things stood out. The first was how exciting this was for students to attend and participate in as artists. 

And the second was how interested people were to meet artists who came from all over and were so different in practice. Nice vibe. Well done Lake City. Here's a little video ArtFields created that sums it up perfectly and they asked me to chime in too.

Instead of showing the art I’ve decided to highlight the people I met. 

The bike patrol, volunteers on the street and in gallery spaces, and at Moore Farms Botanical Garden were eager to meet visitors, and businesses that hosted art were ready to talk about what they selected for their own space. They all chose wisely.
​
And two artists I met were Khiaire, an 8th grader whose yarn work was titled Expectations and Corinne Loperfido, a recycling textile creator from Austin, TX who had a residency with ArtFields. Khiarie’s statement with his crocheted wrap is touching. I met him standing in front of my work. An impressive person, to be sure.
