Last night at 6pm I sat on a panel of artists with Emily Fox on my right and Brian Kershisnik on my left. That was magic. What more can I say?
Other members of the panel were Chris Thornock, Janis Wunderlich, Lee Udal Bennion, Lisa Jackson and Madison Smith. BYU students asked questions about how to balance the full time process of creating art mixed with the demands of family and everyday life, how the response of viewers effect the way we make art, how does looking at the work of other people influence or detract from our own process and vision, and other such astute questions.
After the panel discussion ended, we all made our way to the Harris Fine Arts building where the opening reception of the Nature/Nurture exhibition.
I have four pieces in this exhibit. Two from the 30 Strangers 2010 project, and two from the 30 Strangers 2009 project. The Nature/Nurture exhibition will be on display at the Harris Fine Arts building on the campus of BYU until October 28th. If you have a chance, I suggest you stop by and take a look. It is a very fine show, if I do say so myself. One of the BYU professors associated with the exhibit said, “I have been going to museums for a long time now and I have never seen a better or more comprehensive exhibition on the family.”
I’m so happy to be a part of this exhibit and I would like to say thanks to everyone that came to the opening. Last night was, for certain, one of the great highlights for me in 2010.

I didn’t take nearly as many pictures as I would have liked last night. I was too busy talking and meeting new friends, and enjoying really great art.
