Kentuck…a place of art and love and so much more!

Hello Beautiful People…this means YOU!

I just got home from the Kentuck Festival in Tuscaloosa, AL.   What a fabulous show… It is unlike any other show that I do, with it’s quirky combination of Contemporary Fine art, Folk/Outsider art, fantastic Music, & great Demos. All in a setting that is fun & funky all at once.

But most of all is is the people…I feel the love when I am there, I feel the appreciation from the collectors, the festival staff, and most of all, from my fellow artists.  It’s like one big old hug, a festival of love.  I feel happy and so alive when I’m there.  I get to spend time with artist friends that I might only see there, so I look forward each and every year to this wonderous event.

I highly recommend the trip over to this festival, you will have the time of your life…you can check it out at: www.kentuck.org.

Peace, Love & Kentuck,

Your Pal Jeanne

Oh a Happy Day!

Oh Happy Day!

I just can’t tell you how elated I feel, on this day Jan 20th, 2009.
We get to start a New Year with our New Leader!!!

Watching the swearing in ceremony was meaningful to me personally and to the nation,  This day when The Dream can start to become true.  It will be a long hard road, but we can work together to make our lives full and our world a better place.

Peace be with us all….

BIG FUN…You Gotta Get Some…

OK… all you Thrill Seekers!

Here’s some FUN you just can’t pass up:

More fun than one person can stand...

The Doo-Nanny is Saturday March 28th (if you can’t have a good time at a show with a name like this, you oughta just go ahead and hang it up).  The festivities are from 10-5.  There’s gonna be Outsider Art, Music, Film Festival, Fortune–Telling chickens, you name it and some crazy artist has thought of it.

Come on down to Seale, AL to the property of Butch Anthony (artist extraordinaire and proprietor of the Museum of Wonder) and have yourself a good time. Just a short two hour drive from the ATL, but a whole world away.

I went to this as a spectator last year with my friend Katherine and we had so much fun, that I vowed to return, and so I will be there as an exhibiting artist this year. And I will have a little interactive sideshow going (I can’t give all my secrets away) that you’re gonna wanna get in on!

Pile up in your car, bring your friends, and come on down…it’s a trip you won’t soon forget!
