Speaking Gigs

Speaking of gigs, on September 4th at 7 PM, I made a presentation to the N.Loop Neighborhood Association at the Commune, a meeting place, close to my studio. They were nice to invite me to talk about my sculpture. For an artist, It is a real blessing to have a studio on a busy cross-town street in one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. A big Thank You to the N.Loop Association for the invitation.

I have done a few speaking gigs as an artist. In September, 2018, I made a presentation to the ESB-MACC . Diez y Seis Celebration.

On May 11, 2024, I was a presenter and provided an art activity at a men’s retreat for St. Theresa’s Catholic Church.

In July, 2024, I made a presentation to the Austin Arts Commission at the request and on behalf of the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. I am looking forward to doing a presentation for the neighborhood association at N. Loop in September, 2024.

Creating Art from a branch of history : the Cabinet Oak Project

I guess I got carried away. I had to cut off 2 sections of the log that I picked and received for my project; and, after I had finished the large, major piece , Bison Spirit, I had two ideas for the left over sections . One was to carve a heart and the other was to carve a parrot.
