—Events—

Art Shows, 2009:
• March through April at Village Books
A celebration of poetry and art
by Nancy Canyon and Anita K. Boyle.
Come to the group poetry reading April 11 at 7pm
to hear the broadsides read aloud by the poets.

• April at Blue Horse Gallery
—Ship of Fools—
An annual celebration of the Fools who run our nation, Blue Horse invites local artists to particpate in the event with artwork worthy of the cause. This is the time of year we'll miss the last rascal, but what a fiasco he's left us all to deal with. I have a collage in this show titled "Toxic Dysfunction."
This show opens April Fool's Day, and will be up for the month of April.

• April at Allied Arts of Whatcom County
—ReArt Show —
At least 75% of the materials in used to make the art in this show must be recycled materials. Another of my collages, "Vital Circuitry," was selected to be shown with 31 other artists' works from April 3 to April 25. Come see what these artists have made out of old electronics, litter and a bit of ingenuity.

• Saturday, August 8, 2009 (10 A.M. to 5 P.M.)
at Egress Studio
New works in collage and digital photography will be exhibited,
as well as illustrations in ink and watercolor.

Important Links:

Artwork by Anita K. Boyle:
Since I'm focusing more on my own art recently, I've decided
to use the Etsy website to show a variety of original artwork. This site is new,
so please check it again for new offerings. Since there are many different kinds of artists
on the Etsy site, take some time to look for all sorts of creations.

Arachknits:
A site for knitters. This is my daughter Angela's site. She's a clever lady who not only knits,
but makes her own patterns, whittles and paints knitting needles by hand,
and many other things, too.
