June marks the beginning of summer and the outdoor art fairs.  Preparation not
only involves new, fresh inventory but also making sure everything needed for an
outdoor show is packed in the van. The goal is to take as little as possible
because of the weight and space in the van but yet have everything you need!

I have a new Light Dome tent this year.  I practiced putting it up in the yard twice to
become familiar with how it went together.

The picture on the left is a landmark for me.  It means I am headed East on
Interstate 84 for an art fair.  In June, it is for the Utah Arts Festival.  It is 4 days of
wonderful art, music and performance art in Salt Lake City.

New widget in the Studio.
This news page was supposed to be filled with thoughts about my studio work.  As the fair
seasons begins, I find little time to write. I will try again in November to catch up with the
current directions in the studio.  I can report that the new body of work has been well
received.  Look for pieces with names such as "Newport", Manzanita" and "Florence".  
These represent not only place names from the Oregon Coast but new styles in my
collection.
This week finds me in Naperville, Illinois for the Riverwalk Art Festival.  Later this month a
fashion magazine in the Northwest will be released.  My work will be featured in its debut.  
More news soon!
