Strange Bird Studio

I've been really busy since my last update. My good friend (and now business partner!) Catie Daniel and I have opened up a new studio in downtown Biloxi. Strange Bird Studio functions as a working studio and gallery. We have a lot of fun creating, hanging out, and meeting tourists and visitors who stop by.  We stay busy with commissions and teaching our respective classes at the Mary C O'Keefe Cultural Center of Arts and Education, and the Kroc center. It's a nice little location with decent foot traffic, right near the beach and casinos. We love our new home!

Painting with the Magnolia Chamber Orchestra

This week we had the opportunity to collaborate with the Magnolia Chamber Orchestra. Five artists were invited to the Ohr O'Keefe Museum of Art to paint to the orchestra's rehearsal of their Sturm und Drang performance. We painted to Hadyn No. 39 Symphony in G Minor. It was great to hear the music, and see the orchestra rehearse first hand! The paintings were displayed the next evening at the Mary C O'Keefe Cultural Center of Arts and Education, before the performance of Sturm und Drang.

I painted a mixed media piece called The Tempest
