Colorado Speaker of the House Terrance Carroll and me in front of All the Answers I
There’s so much going on this week, it’s hard to know where to start! Last week, the highlight of the local Denver art scene, at least as far as I’m concerned, was a reception at the Colorado State Capitol for artists whose work was chosen for display in the offices of the state legislature. Terrance Carroll, the speaker of the house, is highly supportive of Metropolitan State College of Denver in general, and of the art department in particular. I was proud to have 2 pieces chosen for display in his office.
Next on the list is an update on the situation with our thesis show. A temporary space has been secured for the show, and everything is going forth as originally planned in the new location. I will be working like crazy to have my work finished in time for delivery there tomorrow by noon. If you’re in Denver, please join me for the reception this Friday:
Friday, April 23, 6-9 pm
Center for Visual Art
3001 Larimer St, Denver, 80205 (temporary location)
The exhibit will also be open Sat. 12-5 pm, and Weds-Friday, April 28-30, 11 am – 6 pm.
The second thesis show will be in the same location May 7-13, with a reception on Friday, May 7, 6-9 pm.
And finally, I will be giving a talk on “Quilting in a State of Change” at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden, Colorado, this Thursday, April 22, at 6:30 pm. The address is 1213 Washington Avenue in Golden. More information is available here (scroll down for the current event). Hope you can join me for that as well!
WOW!!! Deidre will you still remember all us “little people” now that you are famous? You even LOOK like an artist in your photo! 🙂
Should I come to the April 23rd or the May 7th show opening?

That looks like an amazing piece. Congratulations on all of your exhibits (and MFA)this month!
Thank you both! Just to clarify, it’s a BFA, not an MFA. Maybe I’ll tackle that next! 🙂
That’s great, Deidre! My fave color is deeply embedded, all throughout!
