I wish every registered voter in Eureka Springs were in attendance for last night’s encore performance of Tales from the South – End Hate Redux, at Caribé – three powerful and moving stories from Randi Romo, Tippi McCullough and Eureka’s own Zeek Taylor that gave voice to the LGBT experience, and what it’s like to […]

Creative, talented, generous and adorable are all words I can use to describe Terry and Sara Russell, their daughter Jessica Cummings and two grandkids, Anastasia (7) and Draven (4). And all, plus Sara’s father, the late Hal Mallet will have work up on the walls of Brews for the month of April with an artist opening […]

It’s a sad picture – a photograph taken of a couple determined to make life miserable for a segment of our community for reasons I can’t quite understand. It was taken seven years ago at a city council meeting during discussion of Eureka Springs’ Domestic Partnership Registry that eventually passed. These same people are back, […]

Richard Bloch has died. He was an artist and the co-owner and chef of the successful Autumn Breeze Restaurant in Eureka Springs. Richard approached me a couple of years ago about having a one-person show of new paintings at The Space. “I didn’t know you even painted, Richard.” “I just started,” he said. He confided […]

It was right down to the wire, but Lovesick, the erotica art show and happening at The Space, came off. (pun intended). It was a grab-bag mix of erotic art, performance video (Adrian Frost), thumping music and collaged porn. Abundant audience members seemed a trifle reserved at the beginning, but loosened up after a couple […]

An erotica exhibit in Eureka Springs is being held Valentines Day, Feb. 14th – and because it is being held at The Space, there is some confusion and assumption that I’m the person putting it on. “Lovesick” is the brainchild of local artists Kris Cross and Chadd Wilson, and while I will have work in […]

The walls at Brews change again as LOVE takes over. It’s been fun and challenging to curate small monthly exhibits at Brews, the new café and pub located in the 2 Pine Building. This round, local artists Teresa Pelliccio Devito, Raven Derge, Paula Tyndale, Julie Kahn Valentine, Sarah Scissors, Regina Smith, Adrian Frost, Edwige Denyszyn, […]

For the 2005 Eureka Springs May Festival of the Arts I created an outdoor installation featuring unclothed baby dolls suspended by fishing line. Small, stenciled foam core plaques with the words LOVE on one side and Fear on the other were suspended below the dolls. These dolls, and especially the lightweight plaques, would spin and […]

I was determined NOT to use a doll or doll parts in my latest assemblage created specifically for the group Resolution exhibit this Saturday. Alas, I failed. It started again with another shoeshine box that became the base, followed by several attached objects including a child’s prosthetic leg. It’s hard to describe one’s own creative […]
