I'm very excited to be included in "Show of Hands" at the Whatcom Museum, curated by Barbara Matilski. Come by if you're in town. I might make it to the opening, I will update this post if I decide to/can go. It's a wonderful line up of artists, a must see for sure. **Edit** Sadly I can't make it to the opening/preview night.

Some of the artist shown include:
Mary Henry
Imogen Cunningham
Margie Livingston
Victoria Haven
Fay Jones
Claire Cowe
Marie Watt (one of my favoritest artist of all time. OK favoritest isn't a word, but for this kind of love I need to invent something! Here's her on Flickr y'all: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marie-watt-studio/)
Sheila Klein
and so many more I'd be doing this all day!
On a side note:
For all you freaks, geeks and steampunks check out the American Museum of Radio and Electricity, also in Bellingham. And while your at it, go grab a ball of yarn at Spincycle Yarns, my favorite woolly indulgence!
