Blooming-with-Color This week I am working on a number of projects, but the first deadline is for a show called Blooming With Color. This is a special exhibit, designed for the gala opening of a new community education center on South Whidbey called WICEC (Whidbey Island Community Education Center), located at Bayview Corner, in the former Bayview Schoolhouse. WICEC is already providing a number of interesting classes and workshops on a variety of topics. The art classes and exhibits are spearheaded by Lauryn Taylor, an encaustic and acrylic artist and teacher. Lauryn has asked me to teach and exhibit at this new facility. I'll be focusing on photography-based encaustic work, plus I will also teach some music classes (theory and small ensemble performance).

Saturday April 27 is the open house at WICEC. This date coincides with the first farmers market of the season, also at Bayview Corner. There will be demonstrations, community art shows, and instructor art exhibits. I hope you'll visit and learn more about WICEC and the art center at WICEC.

This image is called "Blooming With Color" and was created as the feature image for the Blooming With Color call to artists. It's a digital painting that will be presented as a photo-encaustic piece in the group show.
