BAMignite Photo Contest: it's not too late
Have you entered the BAMignite Photo Contest yet? You still have a few hours left!
The contest celebrates elements of the Bellevue Arts Museum biennial exhibit "High Fiber Diet." I'm so proud of myself: I only waited until a day before the deadline to enter this and one other photo.
The deadline is tomorrow, so here are the details:
All the photos will be projected during the BAMignite art party next Friday, November 16th. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go, but I'm definitely looking forward to finding out who the five contest winners are -- especially, of course, the Paper Cuts theme winner.
It's free and it's fun. Let me know which photos you're entering!

My first solo show!
BIG news, everyone: I'm going to have a SOLO SHOW of my art work!
You remember the Arts of the Terrace group show from September? I had a great time at the reception, and giving away a print of "We See" to one of my fans. The merit prize I won was icing on the cake.
I also got a chance to talk to one of the arts commissioners, Judy Ryan, who's also a mixed media artist. (I love how the racehorse almost leaps off the canvas in her piece below.)
Judy was very encouraging -- she offered me the opportunity to show my work for a month in the Mountlake Terrace library! So look at the wall below:
Now replace those pieces with my art work. squeals with delight and a wee bit of terror
My exhibit will be during the month of May 2013. If you've recently had a solo show -- or even if solo shows are old hat to you -- I'd love to hear about your experiences on my Facebook page. Let's talk!
