Art Is…Masculine!

Following the build-up to the Art Is…You! art retreat being held here in Petaluma, California has been pretty exciting. A friend and I went to the trunk show of last year’s event and I knew immediately that I wanted to be a part of this fantastic event. It all worked out and as you may have read in previous posts, I’ll be holding a workshop there in September. Along with other faculty, I was sent a blank paper mache mask and asked to get creative with it. The instructors’s masks will each be auctioned off to benefit the Art Is…You! scholarship program. And since on occasion I have an affinity for a less-than-delicate/feminine-style of art, here’s what I came up with.

Art Is…Masculine!

In lucid dreams little men take over

Once I close my eyes and begin to create

Barbershop-cigar-box-watchmaker artwork

As a mustache grows upon my face.

Welcome to the show!
