The Chrysler Museum

We drove down to Norfolk, Virginia, to see the Lino Tagliapietro glass exhibit at the Chrysler Museum. Oh it was so amazing. I got overloaded with gorgeous. No photography was allowed, darn! The museum itself is quite nice. In one room, there were lots of marble pieces, like these, beautifully displayed against deep red walls. At the end of the room, was something called the drawing station. On it were white drawing pencils and clip boards with black paper on them. Viewers were invited to make drawings of the marbles. Isn't that a terrific idea?
The entry area was draped with these pieces of art.
After this exhibit, we drove to Hampton, Virginia to the Charles Taylor Art Center, where C got two pieces of his glass work into a show, and got mentioned with honor. Very nice!

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
