And the winner is...

Earlier this month at both the Crested Butte Art Festival and the Telluride Festival of the Arts I offered a chance to win a Huckle Vase in a drawing which was held last Tuesday, August 18. This helped me to connect with people who are interested in my work and also gave people the chance to win something. The Huckle Vase is a new piece for me this summer, so new that it hasn't been photographed yet. It is a cast concrete bud vase with a fluted texture cutting across a smooth surface with a wooden strip set into it. Like many of the pieces I've been working on, it plays the smooth refined wood against the coarser concrete. The name comes from a character in a Richard Scarry children's book, who's name my son has given me as a nickname. The winner of the drawing was Kirk DeVincentis of Montrose, CO. Congratulations Kirk!. For those of you who didn't win, I will have three more vases with me at Rijks Family Gallery tomorrow evening, 8/27, where I will be featured as a guest artist for Art Walk from 5:00 - 8:00 pm. I hope to see you there!
