Poem Published

Quietness/oil/canvas/48” sq.

Such gratifying news to share! An anthology of poetry, Fixed and Free (available at Amazon), has included my poem Blue written for my paintings the Blue Series. The color blue has been a large part of my work since 2001 after an Artist-in-Residence at Crater Lake, OR. Being in such close proximity to the deep blueness of that Lake every day set in motion a dialogue with the color blue for a long time and is still part of my studio and life experience. My work very much focus’ on color contemplating how it impacts our culture. It is a ‘blue and green’ planet that we inhabit.

Poems flow from my artwork. Text plates of poetry accompanied my Marietta Robusti Tintoretto series, Blue has appeared with my exhibits of blue work and presently 5 text plates are showing with my GREEN exhibit. Which comes first I don’t know. But come they do! I hope you have a chance to experience my poems.

Verdersi Cilentana

I just received my gift copy of a book of poems (in Italian) called Verdersi Cilentana by Else Mogensen. Else and her husband Lars are the directors of the artist residency, Elea Wassard in Ascea, Italy where I spent a lovely respite in 2008. The book includes Else’ wonderful poems and some artist illustrations. I am so pleased to be participating in this beautiful effort with my charcoal drawing, The Path on page 55. The poem, Disegnare con la Lluce translates to Drawing with Light—wonderful! Check it out. http://wassardelea.blogspot.com/p/about-ascea.html
