Jason Howard, former board member at one of the all time greatest art galleries in Minneapolis, Soo Visual Arts Center, has moved to Palm Springs and opened his very own gallery! 

Rubine Red Gallery has a focus on Minnesota artists- Joe Siness, Cassie Marie Edwards, Terrence Payne, Tara Costello, Greg Gossel, Shawna Gilmore, Betsy Alwin and many more.

Please spread the word to your Palm Springs friends and travelers! It's a great spot and they have a cute gallery doggie named Leo!

Djeco Toy Designs

Djeco Toy Company, of Paris, France, has just release another one of my toy designs!
Mandalas Rosaces- Coloring Surprise

"A creative activity for kids who love coloring." 
Color, fold and re-fold the hexaflexagons to discover various geometric mandalas.

I'm so happy with how this project turned out!

(So far I have not seen these available in the US.
Google to order online or, better yet, ask your local toy retailer to order/carry my Djeco toy designs!)

Here are some of the other fun toy designs I have made for Djeco:

Another coloring project -with a bug/butterfly theme- called "Cabinet of Curiosities"

A set of fancy Jewelry Temporary Tattoos...I found them at a little toy shop during my trip to Paris in 2017!

"Canevas Point lancé : Cheval"...A horsey yarn/"sewing" kit:

 

A rubber bouncy ball:

Here are some pics of kiddos playing with my toys!

I have another (stalled) toy design project in the works (coloring pages)...and I hope to work Djeco lots more in the future!

Dog, 12x16", acrylic/graphite, 2018

Post-Patriarchal Feminism: Visions of Optimism & Illusion is a collaborative art show that asks: what is the future of Feminism? One in which the previous feminist counter culture has claimed the majority of public opinion and therefore, ignorant and uninformed is the new counter culture? One in which yesterday’s promises have manifested themselves and we have societally transcended gender?

As we envision the pendulum of cyclical theory pushing us forward, it can feel like a personal daily roller coaster ride. At the apex, the thrilling anticipation of progress we can feel rumbling underground just before plummeting into turbulent feverish bitterness. We invite you along on this ride and explore, “why is that lady so angry?”
