Natty Maid: June 2012
http://nattymaid.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 June 2012. A Word of Warning! I had to check my post dates to see the last time I had anything on here and see that it was at the end of March. This was before I attended my first ever Shows, the first being the British Craft Trade Fair. In Harrogate in April and the second being the Great British Home Show. In Bluewater, Kent. Quite a lot to take on as both shows were close together and with one being trade and the latter consumer, I had my work cut out for me. The Natty Maid Stand. Right, t...

http://sugarygingersnap.blogspot.com/2011/11/mr-norman-rockwell-pleased-to-finally.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Mr Norman Rockwell, Pleased To Finally Meet You! Best architecture in the city of Dayton goes too. Atop of Grafton Hill, sits a beautiful, classically red bricked tower of cascading stairs that seems to have escaped from a M.C. Esher work. A remarkable piece of Dayton history, the Dayton Art Institute is a museum that once featured an amazing art school that taught great artist friends like Virginia Burroughs and Willis "Bing" Davis. This was what happened that day. After devo...

Gingersnap: "Attack" Works on Paper by James Pate
http://sugarygingersnap.blogspot.com/2012/02/attack-works-on-paper-by-james-pate.html
Thursday, February 23, 2012. Attack" Works on Paper by James Pate. The second part of the ongoing REACH artist series at Sinclair Community College, James Pate's "Attack" charcoal drawing series is an exploration of the tempestuous beauty, alluring grace, and ferocious power in the African American female body. Opposing oppression and weakness, she is bold, brazen, and bare, her nude, voluptuous body a towering strength in every kinetically activated composition. Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

Gingersnap: "Kin Killing Kin!" Official Gallery Reception
http://sugarygingersnap.blogspot.com/2011/10/kin-killing-kin.html
Sunday, October 23, 2011. This has been an incredible Sunday. I say that after walking an hour and twenty minutes to a gallery reception. The October skies were cloudy, the temperature was pleasantly warm, and the sweetly singing birds couldn't sound any better. In all honesty, there were no actual birds, more like squirrels, but if those squirrels could sing they would probably sound just like those chirping imaginary birds in my head! Rob missed out on an unbelievable experience. Moving poetry, these r...

Well, here are seven best things that have helped shape me along the way. An exclusive from my Starbucks obsession (see #4), Feist's new album was highly anticipated, especially with the first track, "Bittersweet Melodies" on repeat in my head. My leading Canadian lady didn't disappoint. 6 Best Dayton Art Museum. 5 Best Dayton Art Show.
