From Penelope: 'The Recipes for Life© (made in the USA) are original art, handwritten recipes full of wisdom, humor and love to be given to the person Going to College, Getting Married, Having a Baby or Leaving Home for the first time. Before giving to the person intended it is suggested that you and others family members or friends write personal notes on the extra cards and file them in the case.
These Recipes for Life© have been a big hit at Bridal and Baby Showers. Putting different letters of the alphabet on the top of the cards everyone attending is asked to write a message of wisdom, humor or love on a recipe card that is somehow related to the letter at the top of the card. It is then filed with the printed ones.
Designed to give the recipient treasured words to read while away from their family and friends. Words to warm the heart and bring a smile to their face.
Five Dollars of each one sold is donated to a memorial scholarship established in memory of my son, Dr. R.W.'Buddy' Burniske, at the University of Hawaii . This scholarship will be given yearly to an outstanding graduate student in his field.'

| Photography is my passion. I work in traditional black and white as well as digital photography. My work reflects who I am. It shows the complexity within which I work. As artists we are constantly progressing to new and exciting platforms. I am in a period of life where my work reflects the space around me. The places, people, and objects with which I see around me are what makes for the compositions in my photographs. I observe life around me. I see what people don't usually notice as they pass through on their every day routines. I photograph many places and objects that people pass daily but never notice. I try to give new perspectives on places and objects that people are already aware of. |

Born and raised in Central Minnesota, Aric Bieganek grew up infused with the belief that music can both tell stories and inspire personal and social change. His perspective and his songs -– from the introspectively placid to the passionately outspoken -– all embody this belief, just as they have since he was a little boy playing his first plastic guitar. Although Aric has traveled as far east as Japan, as far north as Iceland, and across the United States in his trusty Ford, his connection to his roots is evident in all the poetry and fervor of his songwriting.

The result is a suite of new collage paintings and mixed media assemblage works aggregating torn street posters, torn drawings, personal documents and found objects with pastels, acrylics and oils on board that challenge the mind's eye. |

Northampton Exhibits/Events
| Mark Brown's Award-winning Sculpture Robots On Exhibit At The Artisan Gallery |
 |
Artist: Mark Brown
Event: Robots
Start Date: Friday January 4th, 2008
End Date: Thursday January 31st, 2008
Location Name: Artisan Gallery
Address: 162 Main Street
City, ST: Northampton, MA
Website: www.theartisangallery.com
Fee: none |
Mark Brown makes fun, one-of-a-kind mixed media sculptures and clocks in his backyard studio in Easthampton, Massachusetts. He was trained as a painter and worked on canvas for 25 years. This interest in color, pattern and figurative imagery can be seen in the current body of three-dimensional work. Each of his pieces are unique, stylized and engaging characters.
Most of the components in Mark's artworks have had another life and indeed much of what he uses is collected at tag sales and flea markets. This ensures that each individual piece has its own identity. Mark Brown responds to the opportunities presented by the materials at hand. He believes that each object has its own power. These household items were designed with style and utility in mind. This dash of panache carries over into the new, transformed union of vintage bits and pieces and contemporary sensibilities.
Mark loves to make robots because they are completely realized individuals. Each robot has its own identity - a marriage between the components and the audience's response to the cultural elements that are identified in the parts and pieces that make up the whole. There is a rich recent cultural language that has come from television and movies, such as "Lost in Space", "The Jetsons", and the "Star Wars" series where the robots are the heroes. They are endearing because they embody many of the best characteristics of our human experience. |

Event: Inner Voices; Ceramic Sculptures
Start Date: Thursday January 10th, 2008
Reception: Friday January 11th, 2008 @ 5:00 PM
End Date: Sunday January 27th, 2008
Location Name: The Oxbow Gallery

Fee: None |
To give expression to her "inner voices", Alhach draws from personal history, pre-Columbian motifs and aquatic life forms, to create this body of intimate yet deeply communicative sculpture.
Hilda Maria spent her childhood in Colombia playing in the mud. She learned to love the adobe of colonial architecture and its inherent warmth. In 1996 she left her life in the corporate world to pursue art full time and by 2000, she had graduated from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston as a working sculptor. Her work in hand-built ceramics and glass structures grows out of all of these experiences and traditions. |

Stephanie Cramer, Painter as Printmaker,
January 8th-February 17th, 2008
Stephanie Cramer will be exhibiting her monotypes along side several of her large vibrant paintings at the Gallery at Zea Mays Printmaking, Florence, MA. Zea Mays gives Cramer a place to work communally with other artists. "Normally the process of painting is isolated, Zea Mays gives me the opportunity to work in the presence of other artists. "My preference is monotype, the most closely related to the process of painting, often called the painter's printmaking process.
"Center stage in my art is the figure-an object in motion, as if the figure is caught, just for an instant, galimpse, a snapshot before the gesture is complete. I'm not in search of exact representation." |

Are you a struggling small arts group?
According to a report from the Boston Foundation, if your organization's "vision either dissipated or lost its resonance with its audience or supporters," you should think about pulling the plug. Of course, you've thought of calling it quits before, but now comes a call from a Major Player. Is the call for you? Look deep into your heart. Consider how fruitless it all can seem. Now think of the burden that will be lifted from your shoulders if you answer the Foundation's call for some small arts groups to die. No one wants to go first. Wouldn't it be easier if groups went together, all at once?
Proposal 1: SMALL ARTS GROUP DIE-IN
On Sunday, January 13, at spots all over the city, arts groups will be dying off. Each group will choose its own way out. You could die in public space, your own space if you have one, or at the new $50 million Institute for Contemporary Art.
Proposal 2. SMALL ARTS GROUP DIE-OFF
On Sunday, January 13, a competition between small arts groups in their assorted deaths, judged by celebrities.
It is time to give up. You know who you are. Let us help the ones who decide to take their leave by making sure that they go out in STYLE! The ICA may host the various ashes of the groups in its permanent collection.

What: Juried Photo Contest for March – Theme: Environmental Portraiture
“An environmental portrait supplies enough details with props and choice of background to share with and present to the viewer something about the lifestyle of the person. In an environmental portrait, the subject is photographed at home, at the office, or on location, whichever best portrays the person's story. Far from the posed safe studio portrait with a seamless background, an environmental portrait positions the subject amid everyday objects of her life.” Tell her story! She can live anywhere!
Why: $350 cash prize for first place. Cash and merchant awards for second and third place. 21 images selected for exhibit. Also, the 3 winning entries will remain on exhibit, another month, through April 29. Exhibit heavily publicized with name of exhibitors to all media outlets.
How: Entries must be created by the photographer in the
21st century. Image sizes will be 11’ X 14” ish, mounted,
matted, framed with wire/cord for hanging. Artwork may be
available for sale providing model releases are available.

About The Show: In the world of contemporary art the critical establishment often ignores or dismisses painting as being an outmoded form – historically superceded. Yet painting’s audience continues to grow and large numbers of young artists continue to paint. Like poetry, music, dance or drama, it is a form, not just another medium. Through the centuries that form has retained its capacity to express the vision of painters as different as Giotto and de Kooning. This exhibition will reveal some of the richness and diversity of painters working today - seeking to bring life and presence from inert materials. |
