I am pleased to announce that I have an exhibit at Glas, a coffeehouse along the Sheboygan River  December 1, 2013 – February 1, 2014.   Glas is located at 924  N. 14th Street/Niagara Avenue, Sheboygan. (map)

Opening reception is Saturday, December 7, 2013  10 am – Noon.

I will be doing a painting demonstration during the reception.

Art Talk on Sunday, December 15, 2013 noon – 1:15 pm.  I will talk about selected paintings on display.

Glas is more than just a place to enjoy a really good cup of coffee. It’s a warm, inviting coffeehouse where you can relax, enjoy a good conversation, take in the view from the lounge upstairs or patio by the river, experience local art, and listen to live music.

Glas, the Gaelic word for ‘green’, reflects their strong Irish heritage and their commitment to protecting the environment.  You will find lattes, breves, cappuccinos, americanos, macchiatos, mochas, all-natural hot cocoa, fruit smoothies, beer, wine,  as well as a few specialty drinks.  They serve only loose-leaf teas to provide the highest quality tea by the cup or by the pot.  Sandwiches and light entrees are also served there.  Try one of their sweet delicacies like biscotti, muffins, scones, bagels, sweet bars, or fresh cookies from the bakery.

During Happy Hour on Mondays through Fridays from 4 pm to 6 pm… lattes and cappuccinos are $2.50.
Bike riders receive a 10% discount for minimizing our carbon footprint.

Free WiFi  and computer access is sponsored by Cellcom, located next door.

Lao Hmong and American Veterans Memorial

Lao Hmong Memorial

I contributed a painting which was incorporated into the Lao, Hmong, and American Veterans Memorial  in Deland Park, Sheboygan, Wisconsin.   It is the first such monument of its size.

 

The Lao, Hmong and American Veterans Memorial is a monument to the service and sacrifice of the Hmong people of Laos who fought for the United States during the secret war from 1961-1975.  It was dedicated on July 15, 2006 in Deland Park in Sheboygan, which has one of the larger Hmong communities in the United States and was among the first cities to take Hmong asylum seekers and immigrants in the late 1970s.

 

It seeks to honor and remember all the Hmong who fought against communism. It includes 24 panels dedicated to military personnel who were a part of the Hmong Secret Guerrilla Unit Army that fought against the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) in the Secret War, as well as all civilian participants.

June A-Palooza

 forkfield

 

I painted two forks for the June-A-Palooza event to benefit Meals on Wheels of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin

The “Fork Field”, a literal garden of forks, showcased the unique talents of regional artists. 

Artists from Door County to Chicago painted these one-of-a-kind indoor/outdoor metal fork sculptures for the benefit of the Meals On Wheels of Sheboygan County.  These forks were available for bidding in a silent auction.

Forks are either 3 feet tall or 5 feet tall.  They are weather resistant and may be hung on a wall or displayed in a garden.
