August 8, 2010

So hello! I have been pretty quiet lately, mostly because it's been a very busy year with volunteer work. There are a couple of events happening REALLY soon—plus there's a video on youtube!—so maybe I'll see you at one of these.

ps. Trivia for the day—August 8 is Father's Day in Taiwan. '8' is pronounced as 'ba' and August 8 is 'baba,' Mandarin for 'father.' News you can use!

Collins Gallery Exhibit

File this under being at the right place at the right time and also being nervy enough to say yes I can do that!

About 3 weeks ago, an opportunity presented itself for me to put together an exhibit at the Collins Gallery, and of course, I took it. The exhibit presents 12 artists from the 2010 lineup of Portland Open Studios artists (including me). Time and location as listed above.

There are two other interesting programs at the Collins Gallery—Music of Tibet and also a public talk about the sacred sand mandalas of Tibetan art. See the Collins Gallery webpage for more information.
