Welcoming Fall and the Art Shows on the East Coast

A Welcome to Fall

 After a busy summer season, we are now preparing for fall. We were fortunate enough to have an extended stay on the North Coast of California with family this summer. At this time we are preparing for a trip back home to Idaho, just in time to put some apples up and repack for our annual trip east. Our first stop is the foundry in Utah, then on to the following shows, both feature private receptions: 

Sculpture at the River Market in Little Rock Arkansas – October 14-16 www.sculptureattherivermarket.com

Waterfowl Festival in Easton Maryland - November 10-13

Between shows, we will be exploring the hardwood forests in the east, hopefully taking a trip to visit Ken's son who doing his graduate work in Statesboro GA, visiting friends and family in TN and NC. Weather permitting we hope to head north to an art opening in NYC then onto CT, NH and ME before heading to Maryland for the Waterfowl Festival, Check out this blog for updates as we explore and Ken sculpts on the road.

Fall Releases

 Ken's newest sculpture Checking Attendance -the lab is 10% larger than life-size and an edition of 11. At the foundry on our way east we will pick up a smaller study of this sculpture – so watch for it at the fall shows.

Another new sculpture - Calm After the Storm, captures the beauty of a hummingbird after the storm has passed - the resilience of nature is empowering. This one is a reflection of our unusual weather patterns over the past several years – or maybe just our awareness to those happenings.
