| 'skywarrior II .... ' installed at Art on the Trails, Hopkinton, MA |
Natick Artists
Open Studios!!!
So before I fall into a black hole of activity, I just want to get some information out into the world!!!
First, THIS weekend, on Saturday, September 19th, at 2PM, there is going to be a celebration of poetry in Hopkinton at the exhibit, Art on the Trail. This is the outdoor sculpture exhibit where 'sky warrior II ...' has been holding court since August 1st.
It is a lovely collection of sculptures, scattered along Hopkinton's Center Trail, curated by sculptor, Michael Alfano, and tomorrow twenty area poets will present their poems inspired by the installation and sculptures. This poetry presentation was organized by Polly Brown and Cheryl Perreault.
Click here to view the electronic collection of the poems to be presented tomorrow. It is lovely to see that my piece, 'sky warrior II ...' has inspired some of the verses.

This Heartbeat in the Woods I Hear
inspired by Virginia Fitzgerald’s heartbeat dress
There is a heartbeat beating
in these reticent woods
how it reverberates
the ancient, patient message
how the wind listens
and tells the trees to listen too
how the trees speak to the birds
and the birds sing out
this message to the world.
There are no secrets here.
There is no gossip in the branches.
Nothing here is insignificant.
There is simple, sacred promise
that the earth loves every single living thing.
Everything is beating life out loud.
Everything here is creation.
Cheryl Perreault
Also on the horizon is the
Natick Artists
Open Studios
and this year I AM participating.
I missed last year as there was just too much other life stuff taking my attention!!
But I am happily revving up for the big weekend .... SO MARK your CALENDARS!!!!
In prepping for the big weekend, the NAOS committees have been getting art into different venues around Natick and I am happy to say that I have a piece in the "People" exhibit at the Morse Institure Library. I contributed this wonderful photography of graffiti in Chelsea, NYC. Many people who see it assume that it is collage but not by me, I just saw this wonderful scene and clicked!!!
I realize there is so much more to share ...
but I think this is enough for now!!
Also my awesomely creative artist friend, Christina Zwart, texted me this week:
"not enuf hours for the rest of our lives."
kind of captured the feeling of this time of year ....
So on that noteI am going to sign off with of my 'daily notes to self':
Come here often in the photo
