Art in Speed Park was a great success August 27 & 28. Next up are a week-long retreat workshop with esteemed Irish calligrapher Denis Brown, followed by Ursuline Campus Art Fair in Louisville on September 17 & 18, 2005. Stop in and say "Hi!"************ I am taking commissions & working out of my home studio. Wedding calligraphy is a specialty. I am a Carlson Craft & MacPhersons wedding stationery rep now and design invitations as well as sell commercially made ones. Contact me via email: jan.hurst@insightbb.com. ***** I was asked to do the lettering for a pictorial postal cancellation for our local post office. The cancellation was for November 5th, 2004 and says "Honoring Our Veterans". That project was shared with two friends who did the drawing and lettering layout.*****

"Horizons Magazine" commissioned me to do a cover (May/June 2005) for them. Very exciting! Also, an article I wrote in January is appearing in the next Louisville Wedding Planner magazine. An article I wrote about my Digital Collages was featured in the November/December 2003 issue of "Somerset Studio" magazine. Several pieces from my Digital Collages album on this site were featured. **** I traveled to Spain last November and made some lovely new friends. **** I've been taking lots of workshops - honing my talents and learning new things to add to my repertoire.**** ¿Habla español? I continue to take Spanish classes and enjoy the people. I hope to be able to use the language on another visit to Spain one day. **** Last, but not least, Steve and Shelly (see photo) were married in a beautiful ceremony at the Rauch Planetarium on July 3rd. Color me happy!
