I am honored to announce an award for “Exceptional Composition and Design” from Still Point Gallery. This was given for my “Tree of Life” collages which are being shown in an exhibit entitled “The Art of Structure.”

I have a piece entitled “At Home in the Universe” in a group show that will open on Friday November 3 at Circling the Square Press in Gardiner. We will have an artist talk and reception from 5:30 to 7 pm. This show will travel to Waterfall Arts in Belfast in December.

Some of you may know that I am in training to become a certified Tai Chi and Qigong instructor. In November I will be traveling to Santa Barbara, California to complete my next level of training. It is a week-long immersion into the practice and philosophical origins of tai chi. Studying with the venerable Dr. Roger Jahnke and some of his senior students from the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi is an amazing experience. In this photo I am holding the chi (qi) ball between earth and sky at Simpson’s Point on Casco Bay. The chi (energy) is truly harmonious there!

A tai chi friend thought that my “At Home…” image would be lovely on a tee shirt, something new. I will most likely be launching another tee shirt fundraising campaign in 2018, so please stay tuned…
