The Secret Artist

My work is still on display at the Causeway Branch Library.  There wasn't another artist in line, so my boss told me to keep my stuff up.  I am grateful for the exposure!  The display case is right at the front door and circulation desk so just about everyone notices it.  I've heard comments from several viewers.  Today my art even got a scoff and a negative head shake, but otherwise, all the comments have been positive.  No one knows that I am the artist even though my contact information is displayed as well.  Most patrons don't know my name so it's like I'm the secret artist.  It has definitely been an entertaining and completely unintentional sociological study.

I've been thinking that after Mardi Gras this year, I'll go ahead and join the STAA. Depending on how often I make it out to Covington to take advantage of my membership, I may get a broader following.  The use of a kiln and potter's wheel is pretty alluring.  There's also an art opportunity that I plan on taking part in that I think my bottle cap sculptures will be perfect for.
