Day 7
How I have missed printmaking! This is the first print that I have made in over 3 years. I'll definitely be making more of these.

Day 6
I will most definitely need to scan or rephotograph this when the paint is dry. But just so you don't think I'm sloughing off, here it is!

Day 5
If I can't impress you....hmmm...then I guess I don't care. Isaac and I went out tonight after kung fu! We went downtown and watched a film crew shoot a scene from a movie. Supposedly Willem daFoe was involved. Also, I could have SWORN I saw the kid from Billy Elliot, except he was all grown up and not in ballet shoes (sadly). Probably just some lamewad from Galisteo, though. Not that I have anything against Galisteo. Anyway, here is my night out self-portrait made on a restaurant napkin.

Day 3
Day isn't over until I go to bed! Here is a quick and dirty drawing. I completely overworked and ruined the first two I started, so I gave in and left it simple. I don't normally leave drawings at this gestural stage, but I rather like it!
May 18, 2011 / Charcoal on paper / Approx 18 x 14 inches
Day 2
Look at that sloping criminal's brow.
I look like I just murdered a trucker.

Self-portrait a Day Challenge...Day 1.
One of my dearest friends in the world, Jean Wilkey, recently had the idea to draw a self-portrait every day. I think that's a fabulous idea! So, I'm going to steal that idea and do it myself. I will do a new self-portrait every day for a year—presumably until I'm sick of looking at myself. Aw, who am I kidding...I'M GORGEOUS!

An article in The Ink about the Border Artists
The annual exhibit by the Border Artists is a widely anticipated event as this premiere group never fails to raise the bar for art in Las Cruces and throughout the state. Celebrating their 20th anniversary year underscores this exhibit as one to remember. The group exhibit, Intense Dialogue, is hosted by the Unsettled Gallery. A gala opening reception will be held on Saturday, August 28 from 5–8pm and will include food, beverages, and live music performed by Brack Morrow. The show will run through Saturday, October 2.
Four new members of the Border Artists will be introduced at this exhibition: Jenni Higginbotham, Michael Poncé, Jean Reece Wilkey, and Terry Wolfe. These new members have added youth and vitality to the group though it is tempered by a deep love and understanding for the craft–the spine of draftsmanship, use of color, and form to truly make an idea sing in a realm above the ordinary. In addition, the other members of the Border Artists participating in Intense Dialogue are: Sherry Doil-Carter, Janice Cook, Tauna Cole-Dorn, Tom Gerend, Winfrey Hearst, Annetta Hoover, Suzanne Kane, Cassandra Lockwood, Rosemary McLoughlin, Diana Molina, Jesse Reinhard, Jeanne Rundell, Jo-an Smith, Dan Tapper, Scott Weaver, and Bob Willis.
