- Odd that a creative discipline dependent on sight should express itself in invisibility. But that's exactly what two very different artists are doing in Vancouver. Actually, they are both trying to make us conscious of what we DON'T see. I viewed the first exhibiting artist's work at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The curator had culled her (Antonia Hirsch is her name, remember it!), along with other ...

- Visit with Gloria Alford to Carmel (2.20.09), American Art Gallery. Gloria became a mixed media artist by default. In the 1970s, refused admittance into a Graduate Art Program, she enrolled instead in a Home Economics course where she learned printmaking. But on cloth, not paper. She went on to use some non-traditional methods and materials, such as solar cells, hand-made paper, plastic, cloth, ...

- Like many people, I never thought I'd live to see the day. An African-American man and his family headed for the White House. Now, it seems, this telegenic, bright and carefully considered person is going to govern our country which, if nothing else, will be a stark contrast to what we have come to know over the past 8 years. Not only am I sitting at my computer, before my normal writing time, ...
