Class Exhibit & Show
For the past 10 weeks I have enjoyed taking a class on painting water with my friend Molly Hashimoto. This Thursday, June 12th, I will participate in an exhibit and sale at the Sandpoint Education Center in Seattle from 7 to 8:30pm. I hope you can make it!
Other News
Tomorrow I leave Bainbridge Island and will move back to Seattle. A big thank you to those who hosted me on the island and to everyone I've met. The island has been a creative and productive space for me. I invite you to visit my journal to learn about work in progress.
This summer I will also continue my North Cascades field painting. More details to follow!
Best wishes and I would love to hear your news, Maria

Penguins and the Art of Being Cool June 3 - August 17/08
Spartanburg Art Museum
200 East St. John St., Spartanburg SC 29306 USAFor those of you who may need to contact me in June, I will be on Robben Island, South Africa. The U. of Cape Town has been actively studying and monitoring this rookery of South African Penguins since the Treasure oil spill in 2000 that was so devastating to the coastal birds of South Africa. I will be banding the penguins with a new type of silicon/rubber tag and doing various "counts" to aid in building the statistical database. The South African Penguin will be a new species of penguin for me and I will also be spending time taking their images. At the end of my 2 weeks with the project I will meet with Christina Balch, my former studio assistant, who is a Peace Corps Volunteer, Lesotho, for a week in the Addo Elephant Reserve.

CLIMATE CHANGE | It's jeopardizing more than southern farmlands and northern ice fields. By taking away our Canadian winter, it's endangering our very identity, writes Leah Sandals.

It mentions David Buckland, director of Cape Farewell, and the Polar Artists Group which was established by Linda Mackey, director of Arctic Quest.
