Thanks to writer Gwen Shrift for putting my artistic output (so far) into a nut shell. No small task! Some of the highlights of my journey as an artist are in this article. It was recently published in the local Calkins newspapers: Bucks County Courier Times, Burlington Times, Intelligencer, and on www.phillyburbs.com. The photos were taken by Matt Stanley. Thanks Gwen and Matt!

Please email me if you have any questions, comments…

Check out the current online exhibition – “Small Treasures” – on Crafthaus. It is wildly fascinating!

This is my submission to the show, a small bamboo container 2.5″ high x 1.75″ wide. Read more about this, and all the other artist entries at “Small Treasures 1″ on Crafthaus online.

Almost canceled it due to flooding on the east coast, and in my studio, but decided to get outta town for a week – destination Santa Fe, NM! It was a great adventure hiking and climbing, flea marketing, gallery hopping, pueblo touring, and tram-riding to the top of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque just before flying home to Pennsylvania.

Still ripping off floor and moldings in my studio, dehumidifiers going non-stop, can’t wait to get back to the easel…

Miriam Rowe curated an interesting idea for a Crafthaus online exhibit – she asked artists to take a series of photos showing the evolution of a creation from start to finish. Click here to see for yourself the wide range of talent and materials – and all that goes into a work of art!

My 6-slide “Piece Progressions” is of a bamboo mosaic from selection of bamboo poles, to cutting and detailing, to finish work titled Falling. It’s listed on the Crafthaus page under Norine Kevolic.

Please email me with any questions or comments.
