After this moring’s rehearsal, I drove over to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and turned in my submission for this year’s Fine Arts division.  Now I get to wait for the decision of the judges to see if my piece will be accepted.  What do you think?

Photograph was taken this past winter at about 11pm after an evening rehearsal.  Temp was about 20 degrees farenheit and was our first cold night of the year.  I developed this as a negative which gave it this cool blue effect – the actual piece is then printed on metallic paper which I think best represents the building’s architecture.

Building:  Weismann Art Museum on the University of Minnesota campus
Architect: Frank Gehry

You’ve seen the picture, perhaps you’ve even been photographed with him… yes, the loveable Piggy has cloned himself and is making himself available to the world.  Now’s your change to own your own Piggy. Imagine the possibilities (and share them, please!)

Wow, even more great news…  I am going to be featured in the NE Minneapolis Art-a-Whirl this Spring!  If you’ve never attended any of the shows, I must encourage you to come out.  This is an extraordinary art event and massive. My husband and I have been going for years and still haven’t covered all the galleries yet.  Friday nights are a blast with the opening receptions and party atmosphere.

I will be one of 15 artists showing works at Castle Building & Remodeling in their studio space at 2600 Johnson Avenue May 16th-18th.

During May’s Art-A-Whirl open-studio and gallery tour, Castle Building & Remodeling will host 15 truly unique artists who work in mediums that range from photography, sculpture, clay, iron, oil, tile, etchings, and stained glass. Many artists have chosen to donate a piece of art to be auctioned off in a silent auction. A portion of proceeds from the auction will be donated to Rebuilding Together Twin Cities.

Art-A-Whirl Dates:

• Friday, May 16th
  5:00 to 10:00 p.m.  Opening reception
  (I will definitely be there all evening!)
• Saturday, May 17th
  12:00 to 8:00 p.m.
• Sunday, May 18th
  12:00 to 5:00 p.m.

I welcome your comments!

For those of you familiar with killeralto.com, you will notice that I have changed over to a blog-style format.  I’m hoping that this will enable me to keep current while traveling and give me the ability to be more flexible with my site.

I hope you will stay around for a while, listen to some music and learn a little about me. Please check out the links and let me know if you have any questions!  I would love to hear from you!
