Two weeks ago, I took a paint making class at the J.C. Campbell Folk School. Here is a small look into the moderately laborious but engaging and meditative process.

My future art festival booth.

The North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy asked 18 local artists to paint rain barrels for their Rain Barrel Art Auction, a project which “aims to support local artists, increase public awareness of water quality issues, provide tangible solutions to these issues, and raise money for the Conservancy.” I painted one. My rain barrel, along with 5 others, will be on display at Blue Skies until the auction on March 24 at green❘spaces (5-7pm). Click here for more information and to see all 18 rain barrels.

“What i have touched on this time is that, I haven’t simply made the piece to be destroyed by the sea; it is, the work has been given to the sea as a gift. And the sea has taken the work and made more of it than I could have ever hoped for. And I think that if I can see in that ways of understanding those things that happen to us in life, that change our lives, that cause upheavals and shock… I can’t explain that”
