FROM THE MIDDLE OF SOMEWHERE Spring Art exhibit at El Fidel Restaurant, Las Vegas, New Mexico

Please click image to enlarge ^
I'm really excited about this show. I'm sharing the walls with printmaker and NMHU art faculty professor, Todd Christensen. I'm debuting a large scale floral tinwork, as well as a large scale painting of the newly purchased Castaneda Harvey House Hotel. Todd is exhibiting several pieces from his new series.  Please stop in! The food and people are wonderful. Some of the best in town.

Solid bronze dumpling potsticker paperweights

...or are they empanadas? You tell me! 

First run was individually hand formed from wax using my mother's old Cantonese cookbook as my guide.  Next --- I will make bronze har gow, sui mai, etc.  These dumplings weigh about 1.5 lbs each and are for sale on my Etsy site. Sold individually or as a set of three. 

An excellent gift for the foodie executive in your life! : )

As a kid, we drove up and down the coast a lot, camping or just passing through small towns. Back then, these things were everywhere. They no longer exist, so I was surprised to run across this one in a small Southern Oregon town in 2006.  I'm selling it here on etsy, as well as fine art giclee' prints:
