The First Leg

My Posse
So here begins the "Installation Summer".... This summer I will be residing at Fort Hays State University to do a 3 week intensive Art Installation Semester with Linda Ganstrom.

In order for this to happen, I had to coordinate a few details first. What to do with my kids???

Here is the first leg of my journey.

Today I drove 6 hours to the Florida Panhandle to deliver my girls to my parents. Here they will enjoy the week of 4th of July where I have spent the last 34 July 4ths! It's a magical stretch of beach and I will get to savor a full day floating and Paddle boarding in the Gulf of Mexico before I hop on a 5am flight for Wichita, Kansas and then drive 3 additional hours to get to Hays, Kansas to begin my summer adventure. So I leave with this parting shot of the glorious ocean and hope you follow my art journey.
Next Stop...Kansas
Gulf of Mexico
