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.
El Fidel Restaurant, located inside the El Fidel Hotel: 510 Douglas Avenue, Las Vegas, New Mexico 87701
Now through June 6, 2015

A sample of my 3d foundry work

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! : )
