Upcoming Shows and Events

It's been a few very busy weeks. I've been traveling and enjoying seeing women artists in China. I had the opportunity to go to the Liuli Museum in Shanghai. It was started by Chang Yi and Loretta Yang and showcases amazing glass art. There was a special exhibition of glass pieces by Toot Zynsky. My friend described them best: "It's like the glass version of Georgia O'Keefe." She beautifully created these bold colorful vase like structures that are composed of tiny fiber optic sized strings of glass. Astonishing. In their permanent collection, Loretta Yang displays her ethereal pieces influenced by Buddhism.
