Blanche Ames National Juried Show

My sculpture ARTEMIS has been accepted in the Blanche Ames National Juried Show, held at the Ames Mansion, Borderlands State Park in N.Easton, Massachusetts.

ARTEMIS explores the symbolic connection between a mythological persona and an animal. It is part of a new series of sculptures.

The clay sculptures are burnished and then pit-fired in a traditional firing process.

The exhibet will run from September 20 – October 8, 2016. The opening reception is Saturday September 24th from 7-10 pm.

Community Book Tree Sculpture

I am creating a clay mural sculpture at the Ventress Library in Marshfield, MA.  Residents are invited to participate in the process, by inscribing a clay leaf with the name of a favorite book. The leaves will become part of the Community Tree. The sculpture will be installed in the entrance area of the library. This project is supported by a grant from the Marshfield Arts Council and the Friends of the Ventress Library.

Sign up soon at the library if you’d like to take part in this community art project.

Victorian Cat Tales, Book 1: The Life and Times of Rose and Leopold

BOOK Cover V.C.T.“Come to Victorian England and meet two cats named Rose and Leopold. Adventures abound once Leopold from Germany pays a call on Rose. who lives in the cellar of Buckingham Palace. Leopold at first makes many mistakes; he accidentally stains Rose’s fur and insults her. But he becomes a feline gentleman when he learns three English customs: calling cards, teatime, and the language of flowers. The cats’ lives intersect with the history of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. As you follow the cats’ adventures, you will also learn about life in Victorian England.”

My sister Catherine Golden is a Victorian scholar and she has written the story.  I have created the sculptural illustrations for the book! Many of the clay figures are photographed in front of historical backdrops. Our book is available on several sites online: Amazon, www.indiebound.org,Barnes and Nobles, and Books a Million. It is an E-book as well!
