Art Prize Grand Rapids was a lot of fun. Grand Rapids is a lovely city and I saw a lot of good (and some bad) art.

Here is an image of it installed at Devos Place.

Here is Global Garden Shovel planted in the dirt in Seattle at the S.E. corner of Alaska St. and Martin Luther King Way, which will be the Columia City stop along the new transit line running from University of Washington to SEATAC Airport. Still working out the plants in the planter and there is still a fence around it, which will eventually be gone. So I haven't gotten any distance shots of the whole thing yet.

I am one of several artists to be featured in a show at Peggy Notebeart Nature Museum about the effects of Global Warming on the Floral and Fauna native to the midwest. It is a show of natural science illustrators from the Guild of Natural Scinece Illustrators, of which I am a member.

It's being wrapped up and will be ready to go. The 40' flatbed with the shovel is leaving Art Castings Foundry on May 14th, driving accross country to Seattle, and then it will be installed. I am flying out there to oversee the installation.

Lost and Found Show at Springfield Art Association: POSTED: March 31, 2009 I have two pieces in the Show "Lost and Found" in Springfiled IL. 2009 Illinios Artist Invitational April 25 through July 25, 2009 Springfield Art Association 700 N. 4th Street Springfield, IL 62702 http://www.springfieldart.org The Show at Sears Tower comes Down April 25th, so go by to see it if you can. And.... Global Garden Shovel gets installed at the end of April. Woopee! Show of my Sculpture at Sears Tower: POSTED: Feb.13, 2009 I got a call from Nixon Art Associates asking me to to show 2 of my sculptures at the Sears Tower. I said, "Of Course." What a great opportunity and good exposure! I didn't know who would be showing with me. Coincedentally, It turns out that I had a previous connection with both artists. Robert Hudson was my teacher when I studied at the San Fransisco Art Institute, and I was a teaching assistent to Gordon Powel in the first Year 3D program while I was getting my MFA degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I have two sculptures in the show. One is "Safety Star" (shown in the photo above), and the other is "Cluster Housing", which is on the 3rd page in the drop down menu (1988-1992) in the sculpture section on this website. Here is the info: Sears Tower, 233 S. Wacker Dr. Lobby, 3 person show Victoria Fuller, Robert Hudson, Gordon Powel, Curated by Nixon Art Associates Sponsored by U.S. Equities Asset management, Chicago IL Jan. 26 - Apr.25 Global Garden Shovel: The saga of the delayed sculpture POSTED: NOV. 17, 2008 There has been a long delay, almost a year, because of mistakes made in the support system design by an engineering firm, so a new firm was hired, which took 7 months to find someone willing to do the redesign, and now it is being cut in half, and steel tubes are being installed inside. It appears that it might be finished by February 2009 and hopefully installed either in February or March. It's been a long time coming and I will be glad to see it finally installed. I am working on several new pieces: One involves moss and the mushroom amanita muscaria. In other pieces I am using materials such as wisks, garden hoses, clocks, tennis balls, and guitars. back to top
