Exhibit at the New Britain Museum of American Art

Went to see this exhibit, thank goodness, before it closes on Sept. 6! If you are in the area of New Britain, CT go check it out before it's gone. The Christopher Hyland Collection of Photography, By Way of These Eyes: The Sublime, Exotic and Familiar. "Expanding across various genres such as nudes, landscapes and self-portraits, the Hyland Collection includes work by artists Herb Ritts, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sally Mann, Edward Weston, John Dugdale and Edward Steichen, among many others. The photography reflects life and speaks to the issues, themes, and social events that Hyland feels are noteworthy to society; it will display and represent aspects of culture and showcase how individuals behave in their differing lives. "
It was truly inspiring.

Two Friends & Favorite Artists

Through the magic of Facebook I've reconnected with two women friends from my days at the Dutch Boy Paint Factory lofts in Oakland. While there Tom and I collected amazing work by both of them. They are gifted women making incredible things and if I had all the money in the world I would support them, buy everything they have created and continue to buy more! Please take a look at their sites and support them if you can!
