Works Shown at the Burgin Center for the Arts' Cofrin Gallery

   The 13th Annual Nancy Horton Heefner Memorial Art Show opened September 9, 2018, on the campus of The Mercersburg Academy in Mercersburg, PA. The show includes more than 60 works from artists from Franklin and Fulton counties in Pennsylvania and Washington County in Maryland. Sydney Caretti (fine-arts faculty member and the Academy’s director of galleries) was the curator of the show, which is open to the public during hours the Burgin Center is in operation.
   This is my 2nd year participating in the show which this year was done in "salon style". My two entries were the contrived photograph, "Fractured Perfection" and the greenish adhesive mortar mixed-media work, "Galaxie Three".

Guest Art Instructor At The Mercersburg Academy May 2

     The artist was invited to conduct four art classes at the Academy on May 2, 2018. He explained how the progression of his mixed-media techniques was influenced by his work history for NASA and NOAA. He also used his new cognitive model of "Relational Intelligence" provides ways of understanding and improving the creative process. 
     I wish to thanks the gallery director, Sydney Caretti for the invitation and the Academy for their wonderful hospitality. It was a most enjoyable day meeting more faculty and interacting with students from many nations.
