From October 10 to 23, I'll be Artist-in-Residence at Petrified Forest National Park. Many national parks have artist residency programs: a place to stay and time to be inspired, make sketches, do some artwork, and begin to develop a body of work inspired by that park. In return, artists give one or more public programs while at the park, and donate one piece inspired by the residency to the park. (I'm still working from the inspiration of my North Rim, Grand Canyon, residency five years ago...) I'll set up my studio-away-from-home with my small enameling kiln; will hike in the park's wilderness areas as well as developed trails. I'm looking forward to finding out what new developments happen in my enameling and calligraphy work under the influence of Petrified Forest's petroglyphs, fossils, petrified logs, animals and plants of desert grasslands, and colorful badlands landscapes.
