Gothic Calligraphy

There's an ongoing class in Murrieta that calligraphy teachers dream about; at least I sure do.  I call them 'Hungry Scribes' because I can't get information to them fast enough.  Check out this sampling from these talented new scribes.  Their work is from my 8-week class, Introduction to Gothic.

Merging Art and Poetry

The Merging of Art and Poetry is a collaborative effort between 

Escondido Municipal Gallery's juried Summation III exhibit www.escondidoarts.org

and

Poets INC. (Inland North County)

poetryscenestealers@yahoo.com

Members of Poets INC are invited to select art work in the Summation III exhibit and write poems inspired by these works. 

The poems are also juried.

(This is known as ekphrastic poetry for those who are into technical jargon). 

The talented poet, Oriana

chose Noah's Ark - A Personal Journey (see preceding post) 

It was a thrill to be in the audience and listen to her

beautiful poem entitled, Mrs. Noah.

John Neal Bookseller honored my work by featuring

Noah's Ark - A Personal Journey

in Bound & Lettered magazine
