At least my ART made it to India...am I next, someday?

Now a part of me is PHYSICALLY in Southern India...

Here's my "jewel" print that's in Chennai, INDIA now...

The "Jewels" Exhibition - a portfolio of rich, colorful hand pulled prints which was created from a collection of artists' work (like mine and several other artist/printmakers from New Grounds Printmaking) is now exhibiting in Chennai, India with work from V. Hariraam! http://www.artworldindia.com/exhibitions/view/22/Graphic%20Prints%20by%20V.%20Hariraam
Wish it would be there long enough for me to see it in person....but, alas, I'll remain in spirit, as always, with my South Indian friends! Jai ma!

Thoughts on Creativity and Art

One of my favorite sites is TED where some of the greatest minds come together to share their thoughts with each other in elite conferences...but then the rest of us get to view these talks on the web. Go InterWeb! Here are some of my favorite talks about creativity and art, design, writing, education and more, by a psychologist, product designer/inventor, author and innovation and human resources specialist. Enjoy....

Art for Health

Want to add comments to my on-going research as to the health benefits of art making within a community/group setting? See the topic discussion thread here...

My show "Convergence" at New Grounds (August 2009) was such a success in all the ways we measure it...especially thanks to all of my loving friends and family who came to support me!

Thanks Regina at New Grounds for a great show and for posting pics from my show and this blog:
