I've kept mum about this, because it wasn't supposed to happen 'til July. But things moved up and I'm thrilled to announce that I'm a member of downtown Cincinnati's 5th Street Gallery. It's the artist-run, co-op that presented my solo exhibit "Expecting to Fly" in March.

This means that you'll find a sampling of my work there all the time. And since it is artist-run, you'll also spot me behind the front counter at least one morning or afternoon a week. I'll try to post my schedule in case you want to drop by to say "hi."

The gallery has 13 other artists working in a variety of styles and mediums from glass and paint to bronze and ceramics. At the moment, I'm lusting after one of Lisa Kobler Inglert's striking necklaces of hand-made glass beads or one of Marcia Alscher's small, but bold, minimalist, architectural paintings and then there is ... well, you get the picture!
