GREAT NEWS! As some of you may know, I do artwork outside of the napkins. I have focused on photo-collage work for many years and I found out yesterday that an exhibition proposal I submitted 6 months ago has been accepted. The show will open in Tulsa in January of 2012. I am very excited about it! I will keep you posted about the details as the time approaches. If you want to know what the theme is, read this napkin and commentary, it tells it all.

We look at ancient ruins and we think they have value. Toppled over, chipped, missing big chunks and yet we see their beauty. Oil paintings covered with years of grime and soot, cracked and drying and yet we see them as beautiful. Old furniture on Antique Road Show, better not have refinished it since the original condition, all scratched up and dirty, is much more valuable.
What about what remains of you after a storm? Are you chipped, scarred, damaged, missing pieces? You are MORE valuable and MORE relatable in that condition than in a pristine one. You have become real after that storms.
