197951118Heron Not Alone In 1997, as an English and Art major at Bellarmine University, I wrote the poem "UnCommon Ground." When I created this mixed media Blue Heron in 2014, I realized I was revisiting the same notions I was in that poem from years ago. The theme: while tempted to stay alone, I was yearning for connection. The poem, with an edited line, follows:
UnCommon Ground
I stand
A stiff-legged hard-nosed heron
My nose above my ears
Peering at our sky
Scoffing the world wandering by
Believing I could go it alone
That I can make my own happy home.
Who needs another?
I want no more hurt from my sister or brother.
My lone legs are weakening.

197951354Our Story "Looking Back, Moving Forward" is the driving mission of a comprehensive effort to enlighten the community of Bullitt County, Kentucky. We will recall our past and imagine our future with respect to our present. "Our Story" is a developing site specific sculpture meant to illustrate our community's story. Sited on the Bullitt County Board of Education's adjacent property that houses two historic one room schools, "Our Story" will hopefully be a collaborative limestone 'scrapbook' designed and created by all Bullitt County students, community members, and lead artist Jason Kelty.

197952242Half the Man "Half the Man" is a diptych referencing my late Papa and the current version of me. I am literally and figuratively half the man my Papa was. The men in my life have had profound influence on my life's direction. This work in progress is composed of a mixed media illustration of my Papa, pictured on the left from an old snapshot of him in his twenties at Bernheim Forest. I am the right figure, composed from the negative lines of my Papa's photograph. The images are strikingly similar and prophetic. I remember, and I look forward, remembering.
