I successfully installed my Artscape sculpture a couple of weeks ago and it will be up until April of 2009. It is located at the edge of Patterson Park on the corner of Eastern Ave. and Linwood St. in Baltimore, MD. The install was one of the most difficult and challenging that I have ever had to face. The end result is a bit different than I expected and in some ways, uncharacteristic of my previous work. Nonetheless, I am proud to put my name on it and hope you get a chance to check it out.

I am about to finish up my residency here at the Vermont Studio Center. It has been a productive month and I will post the artwork that I have completed on my site very soon. Also, my proposal for the Baltimore Sculpture Project was accepted. I will install the piece in Patterson Park in early July and it will be up until May of 2009.

I will be installing my work at the Greenbelt Community Center Art Gallery at the end of January. The exhibition will run from February 2-March 16 with an artist talk on Sunday, Feb. 3 at 2pm. The title of the exhibition is Pioneers and will combine a large plant installation, wall-monted relief sculptures and photography. The address of the gallery is 15 Crescent Rd. Greenbelt, MD 20770. The website is www.greenbeltmd.gov/arts/exhibits. For further details contact Nicole DeWald, Arts Supervisor at ndewald@greenbeltmd.gov

Laura and I are officially parents. Magnolia was born on the morning of August 30th, weighing in at 7 lbs. and measuring 19 in. long. Everything went smoothly and she is absolutely beautiful!!!

Well, Artscape is officially over, but my sculpture survived and will be up until next May! It is located on the median of Mount Royal Avenue directly in front of the Brown Center (glass bldg) as well as the Main Building (marble bldg). Check it out.

I have quite a few upcoming events to announce. The first is my graduation which takes place on Monday, May 14th at 1:30 pm. The week after I will be in a two person show at the Randall Scott Gallery in Washington D.C. Then on June 1st I will begin my residency at the Hall Farm Center in Townshend, VT. I will return on June 22nd and immediately install my piece for Artscape (the Baltimore Sculpture Project). I was also accepted into the d.u.m.b.o. art under the bridge festival in late September and I will be at the Vermont Studio Center next summer!

Well, this past Friday was the reception for Thesis III and it could not have gone smoother. We had a great turnout and most of my family was in town to see the work. The weather held out and just by chance the MICA Masquerade was moved to the Meyerhoff building across campus.

The date of my thesis show has been set and is fast approaching. On Friday, April 13th, I will showcase my work along with ten other MFA candidates from MICA’s graduate programs. Two of my pieces will be installed outdoors, one directly in front of the Fox buliding and the other on the Cohen Plaza lawn. Two pieces will be indoors, one in the Meyerhoff Gallery and the other in Fox 3. The show will run through Sunday, April 22nd and artist talks are scheduled for Wednesday, April 18th. Check out our thesis show website at www.etherealheist.com.
