It’s an Update

    It’s been six weeks into a second term at LBCC, and I’ve felt like a chicken with my head cut off. I’ve been aimlessly running about throwing strategies and plans for success and hoping they stick. Truth be told it’s been a term of just trying to keep up which has made outside artistic or journalistic endeavors almost non existent.   My saving grace in this regards is my intro to drawing class. This class so far has really challenge my understanding of perspective, design composition and patience. The body of work I’ve created this far for this class is confusing to say the least. I have no idea if I’m improving or if I’m just “faking it, till I make it”. Some pieces are like wow I can do that and others are defined as “that’s a choice” an expression my husband and I say when we’re negatively judging what we or someone else has chosen to do.    With that said here is the chronological portfolio for the art I’ve been working on for the class.  The f...

On Campus at LBCC

Image
 Normally Campus is lively and full of different activities to embrace. This week saw drops in attendance and a wide range of emotions. Worn out by election adds and discourse over the direction our country is heading. Many of the students had need for self reflection and a mental health day or two or even a mental health week. With so little happening on campus the photos presented represent the determination and resilience of the students that showed up and the imagery of the fog that rolled in blankets the campus in the weight of our heavy thoughts and our desire to keep shining like light houses on the shore.  There’s a single individual standing behind the first bus in line. They’re hard to see bundled up against the weather. The campus feels dread two days after the election. Thursday November 7th 2024.  Students are still moving about campus on Election Day. The mood is shifting to one of anticipation and determination. “Democracy is not a spectator sport.”-unknown...

Home Town

  Albany, Oregon is well known for its volunteer run carousel. The concept for the carousel started back in 2002 when local  Wendy Kirbey, was on a trip to Missoula and saw the effect that a carousel there had on revitalizing the community. She hoped that her proposed carousel would revitalize Albany’s downtown. All of the animals are hand crafted by local artisans, ranging from beginners who’ve never picked up the tools to seasoned artist who’ve volunteered over 1500 collective hrs per animal. The heart of the carousel is a restored 1909 mechanism that took ten years to restore under the guidance of former engineer Carl Baker. Head carver Jack Giles has been helping volunteers create the animals we see today on the carousel and the ones we will see in the future. Initially Giles thought he was signing onto a five year project, it’s been 22 years in the making, and a great connector of the community. The carousel officially opened its doors to the public on August 15...
