30 Feet of Perspective
Posted on July 26, 2023
When I have a brush in my hand while painting a set for a theatre production... there's no need to focus too close on every little stroke of paint because the eye won’t perceive them as mistakes from 30 feet away.
No Shortage of Summer Activities

While the summer months are ticking away, time feels like it’s flying because of all the exciting programs the Woodson Art Museum has to offer.
Going Back to Collage
Posted on March 29, 2023
I am always eager to create at the Museum when there’s a chance to explore my favorite artistic medium: collage.
Rhymer Reason
Posted on March 22, 2023
Artist Paul Rhymer may not want praise, but he deserves it. His talent, warmth, and skill are matched only by his modesty…. maybe his height, too.
The list is long of “Rhymer reasons” behind Paul’s recognition as the Woodson Art Museum’s 2023 Master Wildlife Artist.

Next week, sculptor Tom Hill returns to the Woodson Art Museum for a multi-week residency, and he’d like to work with you! Tom invites visitors and community members to create wire birds, which will comprise a large flock, reflecting the impact of creative collaboration.
Wu-Lang Clan
Posted on January 22, 2020
I can’t resist a good opportunity for a pun. Iconic and revolutionary hip-hop artists, the Wu-Tang Clan shaped their genre and used the written word to write and re-shape the legacy of East-Coast rap. I’m a fan of artists Jiangmei Wu and Robert J. Lang (hence “Wu-Lang Clan”), both featured in Above the Fold and both visiting the Woodson Art Museum and kicking off 2020 in innovative and grand style.
