The Artists Reception for Catching Up this past weekend with Catherine Hartigan was a great success. The warm terra cotta walls were a perfect back drop for Cathie's photographs and my koi paintings.

Our work spoke to each other from across the room while the non stop flow of people mingled, mixed and reunited. So many of our family, friends and classmates made the trip to Metuchen, NJ it went on well past the scheduled 9 pm end time.

Be sure and check back on this blog in a couple of days to see photos and directions from our Artists Talk and Learn to Transfer Workshop held the following day.

And for those of you who missed us this weekend, Cathie will be at Transformations Gallery at the Old Franklin Schoolhouse in Metuchen, NJ on Sunday, October 13 for a town wide Gallery walk.

Give Us Your Best Shot

I am having so much fun getting ready for my Catching UP exhibition with photographer Catherine Hartigan. We're both excited to see so many of our friends, family, neighbors and classmates from home. And, we could use your help.

See, Caryl Felicetta of Think Plan C created a great poster for us. Photographer Judy Weinberg, co-chair of the Transformations Gallery along with glass artist Amy Brooks, put up these posters in store fronts in downtown Metuchen. It's a community thing- only Cathie and I are in our respective homes- two hours and 7 days away.

So I had this idea, what if you could be our "boots on the ground" by taking a picture of a Metuchen storefront and show us who is sporting our Catching UP poster.

Then:
1. Post it on the Transformations FB Page with the name of the shop generously hosting our poster.
2. LIKE the page. (if you want extra credit, you can LIKE Cathie's page, Caryl's Think Plan C and mine if you haven't already... hey its fun to spread the love!)

And I will donate a signed copy of my Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings Book in your name to benefit a school, library or house of worship in the community.

Books will be available at our Artists Reception- Saturday, September 21, 7-9 pm, and at our Artists Talk and Learn to Transfer Workshop- Sunday, September 22, 12-2 as well)

It's a great way to give a shout out to the local businesses, pay it forward, and get in on the fun.

C'mon, give us your best shot!
