This piece just found a new home. It is a piece dedicated to the victims of the massacre in the Pulse nightclub last year in Orlando.<br />
<br />
The names of each victim are on a scroll, which rests inside an individual bead, making up the heart in the middle. The number representing those killed and injured are displayed using church attendance numbers.<br />

<br />
I hope this finds all of you happy and healthy. I hope your summer days are filled with colors and light.<br />
<br />
I am having a hard time creating at the moment and I am not sure what, if anything I can do about it, except live through it. Grief has a hold of me in a new way and I am struggling a bit.<br />
<br />
June 28th is always, ALWAYS a hard day for me. It is the day my Pops passed. I miss his wisdom, his laughter, his winking eyes and his hugs. I miss his unconditional love and support and even his swift kicks to my backside when I needed it.<br />
<br />
This year, my grief doubled.<br />
<br />
My sweet friend of 19 years passed away at 11:59 pm on June 28th. It was not an unexpected death, but it has hit me really hard. I was able to say goodbye and hang out with some of her good friends as we held a living memorial to her gathered around her bed.<br />
<br />
It has been a hard week. I am not sure when the lights inside me will be flipped back on so I can create again. I just seem to need some time and a little space to just be and not have expectations of myself. Grief is funny that way for me, it lingers around for a little while and then suddenly it loosens the grip from my heart and all the bottled up creations come pouring out.<br />
<br />
The week before her passing, I was in Santa Barbara for a educational training and was able to spend time with the most lovely of people. There was no radio or TV to distract me, only long walks and conversation as I connected.<br />
<br />
Maybe that is why I am being hit so hard right now, coming off an intense but really good week of deep connections to a loss and the world's static. I don't know.<br />
<br />
Please just keep checking back in the next few weeks. I promise I will post something soon.<br />
<br />
Peace, Love and well being until the next hello,<br />

<br />
Just landed back home from spending a few days in Newport, RI and wanted to share a great little place where you can have a fantastic experience, while you have an artistic adventure!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thamesglass.com/" target="_blank">Thames Glass</a> is one of those places you stumble upon and never want to leave. I could stay for hours watching the artists make amazing pieces of work out of molten glass.<br />
<br />
Our family and a friend ventured over to give it a try during one of their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jenna.morello?fref=nf" target="_blank">"make your own" classes</a> and the results left us happy! We were helped out by Shane, who is a talented artist and master instructor. He was able to help our soon to be 10 year old daughter make two stunning ornaments and she had a blast. She was so inspired and hooked on the process, she is asking for a glassblowing birthday party this year.<br />

<br />
My wife also tried her hand at making an ornament and her results were pretty good also!<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally, this one is mine. I am so thrilled with the way this turned out and want to explore the art form more and more. It is one of those things that is an easy addiction and the only limit is the depth of your pocket!<br />
<br />
For me, I think the new thing when I travel will be finding a glass blowing shop to make and bring back a little something to remember the trip. For this one, we were close to the ocean, which is my favorite place to be, and this ornament will remind me of watching the waves break.<br />

<br />
If you are in Newport, RI please stop by and tell them I sent you! I promise you will not be disappointed! They have items ready for purchase that will make you happy to bring home, if you don't have the desire to make your own!<br />
<br />
Be well and happy, until next time!<br />

<br />
I wanted to share a little more about this art piece and how it came to be. This past year, I offered an after school art class and had 12 students from the ages of 7- 12 sign up. The class was about finding your inner visionary and we discussed some of the artist featured at the American Visionary <a href="http://www.avam.org/" target="_blank">Art Museum</a> in Baltimore. If you have not been you should check it out.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I wanted the students to push themselves to create "something" out of trinkets and left over pieces of things others had abandoned. I wanted them to connect with the material and put something on the canvas that represented them as an artist.<br />
<br />
This led me to lead by example. About the time the class was taking place, there was a great deal of media coverage about the Michael Brown shooting. I learned that young black males were <a href="http://www.propublica.org/article/deadly-force-in-black-and-white?utm_source=et&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailynewsletter" target="_blank">21 times more likely to be shot and killed by police</a> than their white counterparts. This is not OK with me.<br />
<br />
<br />
As I went in front of the students every week, I would bring this canvas with me so they could see it transform into the final piece of art. We talked about the two Statue of Liberties in the background and how we divide ourselves. We talked about the bubbles we all live in and how that keeps up from seeing other people and learning from them as we also teach them about ourselves.<br />
<br />
We talked about the history in the country when it comes to racism and how we all must do better and that it all starts with each of them.<br />
<br />
There was one young man, who upon seeing this final canvas looked at the other kids and said, "We have to change all of this! We have to make things better for everybody."<br />
<br />
It made my eyes water and my heart full that this group of 12 kids could see the meaning behind the work and were unafraid to embrace the work that needs to be done to make a difference.<br />
<br />
The art they presented back to me was unbelievable, complex, funny, deep and meaningful. I will carry the images of them presenting their work to their parents with me always and see their faces as they told their stories.<br />
<br />
As for me, this piece is hanging on my wall and it has become one of those pieces I am finding hard to let go. I am sure the right person or organization will come along that fits into the message it conveys. If that happens, I will sell it or donate it and move onto the next piece in the hopes it speaks as deeply to the kids as this one.<br />
<br />
This was constructed using a bunch of different things, but the outside edge of the canvas is framed with construction strapping. I liked the way it looks and will be using it again on other pieces.<br />
<br />
I hope you like it.<br />

<br />
It has been an absolutely crazy and busy year for me, with a lot of things taking me away from my artful path. I am hoping I can get back into the swing of things now that I have actually started my business here in Annapolis, MD.<br />
<br />
The quick update/highlights:<br />
<br />
I taught my first after school program and had 12 students sign up in less than 24 hours.<br />
<br />
I took on a few private students for a 4 week class.<br />
<br />
I worked with a local school by assisting them with an anti-bullying program and implemented a "Peace fence" as a school wide art installation. The pickets are based on the 5 Human Values of Peace, Love, Truth, Non Violence and Right Actions. The youngest child was 18 months old and the oldest was 12 years old.<br />
<br />

<br />
I worked with the school on their bi-annual auction. I designed and implemented 4 of the 7 projects from start to finish.<br />
<br />
This project is a picnic table that converts to a bench. The children painted both sides of it, with the bench side having tulips, ladybugs and turtles and the picnic side have a similar theme with the addition of a checkers board and a tic-tac-toe board. They also painted garden rocks for the game pieces as turtles and ladybugs, with a crown on the opposite side for when they are "kinged."<br />
<br />
It sold for $1675<br />

The upper elementary students spent some time at the botanical gardens studying leaf patterns. They took those patterns and burnished them into copper and silver metal which was then attached to rounds cut from the plywood before being reinserted. The final result looks like hammered metal.</div>

Finally there is the Illuminated Letters from another elementary class. Each child used the first letter of their name and an animal starting with that letter to decorate their individual canvas pieces. The complete set of letters was then attached to a larger canvas and paper vines were added between the letters to continue the pattern from the custom from made from a chair rail. </div>

Hey everyone,</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
Sorry I about not having an update the past couple of months, but I have been damn busy with art projects and have not had much time to just sit and be. Lucky for you I have a headache today and have time to write an update and what an update it will be!</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
I had the honor of being asked to help design and implement a street art project here in Annapolis, MD on a 7 ft tall fiberglass chicken!</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
Seems the local arts council allowed a group to place the decorated chickens all around West street, and my kiddo's school had a chicken sitting around since last May, which needed a little direction to fully hatch. So, I accepted the invitation to participate and here is how it turned out in photos!</div>

We had 157 children and all the staff participate by adding an international flag to the bird. It is the only bird within the project to have that level of participation. MICH stands at nearly 8 ft tall with his Mohawk and has traveled the world at least twice, based on his passport stamps and flag collection.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">

<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
His Mohawk spells MICH in nautical flags, to pay honor to the Annapolis area. MICH is indeed one of the most colorful birds on the block, and we are all very pleased with the way it turned out. </div>

MICH is currently standing outside of the Metropolitan Restaurant on West Street in Annapolis, MD. It is the coolest thing artistically I have ever done!</div>

<br />
How are you?<br />
<br />
I know it has been awhile since we have communicated, but I just completed a cross country move and it has been somewhat of a nightmare!<br />
<br />
But rest assured, I am getting back into the swing of things and should be settled into my new studio space soon to begin some new projects. I am still looking for the boxes of supplies and have my fingers crossed they show up soon.<br />
<br />
What have I been up to you ask?<br />
<br />Well, I have some art hanging here in Annapolis at the <a href="http://www.gotoroosters.com/about/" target="_blank">Blue Rooster Café</a>. I have taken the art from the Jerry's exhibit to display, with the hopes some of it will find new homes.<br />
<br />
50% of the proceeds will benefit the <a href="http://www.montessoriinternational.org/" target="_blank">Montessori International Children's House</a>, because it is a great school and it is what I do!<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>"Montessori International Children’s House is a nonprofit coeducational school </i><i>for children 18th months through 6th grade. Montessori International inspires </i><i>excellence, nurtures curiosity and enhances creativity. Accredited by the </i><i>Association Montessori Internationale, MICH’s student centered learning </i><i>community emphasizes hands-on experiential learning, respect for self and </i><i>others, and the development of inquiry skills that enhance life-long learning"</i></span></blockquote>
The Blue Rooster is like a coffee spot "Cheers" where everyone knows your name. The staff is spot on with customer service, and take the time to look you in the eyes and remember who you are the next time you pop in for a treat.<br />
It has a funky art vibe, and they have amazing coffee and food. Go check out their website for more information and if you are in the area, pop by for a bite to eat. It is a great place with amazing people.<br />
<br />
As for the move, my art space has been downsized a bit, but I have a great deck to use that overlooks a few trees. I find it relaxing and inspirational.<br />
<br />
Annapolis is fantastic and I am feeling at home already. There is something about the people here in this atmosphere that has my artistic batteries charged back up. I can't wait to get started on my next endeavor.<br />
<br />
Until next time, which won't be that long... I promise.<br />
<br />
Peace and well being,<br />
CJ<br />

believe the world can change one art piece at a time and that it only takes the
artist a moment to find a way to make it happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is my personal motto and mission to make
the world just a little bit better using the little talent I have as an artist.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 163.0pt 164.3pt; text-align: justify;">
The art
you will see on the walls at Jerry's Artarma is being sold to raise money for needy schools,
specifically the Native American schools hit the hardest by the government
imposed sequester. The pieces have been created using National Geographic
magazines and Citra Solv to alter the magazines.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 163.0pt 164.3pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 163.0pt 164.3pt; text-align: justify;">
Each
piece starts from an organic endeavor, searching for something on the page to
highlight, enhance or allow to stand on its own. Some pieces do not have
embellishments, simply because the art created does not need anything else. Some
pieces have been used as a backdrop for sketches and some have been embellished
to highlight the paper.</div>

all profits will be donated to help students affected by the sequestration. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 163.0pt 164.3pt; text-align: justify;">
Please
take a moment to look at the art and if something speaks to you, pull it off
the wall and take it to the front to make a donation. The prices on each piece
are considered a monetary donation which will be pooled with all the other
donations and sent as a single contribution to the receiving charity. You will
not receive a donation form and the donation is not tax deductible.</div>

<br />
I wanted to give you a quick update. I have contacted <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/31/politics/native-american-schools-cuts" target="_blank">Mr. Ray Arsenault the Gallup-McKinley County Schools</a>, in the hopes he can direct me about making a donation to the schools after the art sale starting July 1st at Jerry's Artarama. I will provide more information as soon as I hear back. I may split the donation with the <a href="http://www.npr.org/2013/05/28/186253246/navajo-schools-lose-funding-due-to-sequestration-cuts" target="_blank">Tuba City Unified School District, which was featured on NPR</a>, if I can find the contact information and find out how to make it happen.<br />
<br />
In case you have not been following the story, because of the idiots in Washington, DC the sequester has really hit the Native American population. Here is a quote from Dr. Heather Shotten, President of the National Indian Education Association, a nonprofit organization that advocates for the education of Native American students.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph9">
<b><i>"For our Native students
in federally impacted schools, the effects of sequestration are
devastating because these are real dollar cuts in real time from
district and school budgets," NIEA President Dr. Heather Shotton said.
"Since these districts are often serving our children on reservation as
well as federal property that the districts cannot tax, these districts
cannot simply find other sources of funding to make up for lost
dollars."</i></b></div>
</blockquote>
I truly believe each of us can make a small, yet positive impact on others. For me, the way to do it is through my art. I am donating 100% of all profits from any art that is sold to this school system in the hopes they can use the funds for something critical they need.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I can provide 100% of their budgetary needs, but I can send them something to show I am behind them and that I hear their frustration as a fellow human being. I can extend my hand in friendship and understanding in the hopes they will not give up. The children and communities need some love right now, and there is an endless supply of it, if you can open your eyes and hearts to see it and send it.<br />
<br />
I plan on posting something longer tomorrow, to show the art I have for sale along with the prices and ways to purchase. I set up a<a href="https://www.bankofamerica.com/online-banking/iphone-banking-app.go" target="_blank"> mobile banking option</a> for ease of payment for those of you outside my area. If you want to discuss a piece of art, please contact me via the buttons on the right side of your screen.<br />
<br />
Until next time, peace and well being.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today was a bug kind of day in the studio. I did get a few good images, and a bunch of scrap paper, but was hoping for a "WOW" which did not happen. Always tomorrow right?<br />
<br />
Life is like a box of chocolates... just never know what you are going to get! <br />
<br />
Anyway, here are the latest pieces that did come out pretty decent. Let me know what you think!<br />
<br />
I will be hanging these pieces at Jerry's the first week of July. Pictures and information forthcoming.<br />
<br />
Until I get back from a little trip, try to think colorful thoughts!<br />

Hey there!<br />
<br />
I am trying out a new program called GIMP to see if I can create some custom stencils, with the hope I can come up with a 2,3 or 4 layer stencil to use in some art.<br />
<br />
I have these great family photos from 1798-1930 that I want to use, because I find the faces interesting. I think some of the stencils could be used in the Citra Solv art, in addition to many other things burning a hole in my brain trying to get out.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple I am working on at the moment. The first one is my dad taken from a video of him on the show To Tell the Truth.<br />
<br />
It is a single layer and I cut it and used it on a piece of scrap paper to see how it looks.<br />
<br />
<br />

<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eHqdWjT-guU/Ua07jb28hGI/AAAAAAAABUw/0KojU_jeDKM/s640/blogger-image--2080005107.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eHqdWjT-guU/Ua07jb28hGI/AAAAAAAABUw/0KojU_jeDKM/s320/blogger-image--2080005107.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
The next one is of his father, dating back to 1926. I am trying to get 3 layers out of it and hope to cut it out tomorrow, when I am not so tired.<br />

I did a simple, single layer cut the other day for the art demo using a masking sheet on my Silhouette Cameo and those came out really well and people went nuts for them.</div>

<br />
What made it so great you ask?<br />
<br />
I had the best participants come by and check out the<a href="http://abstractendeavors.blogspot.com/2013/05/jerrys-artarama-demo.html" target="_blank"> demo</a> that an artist could ask for in all the world. They seemed to have walked away with some really good images, and seemed happy and hooked on the process. I also had a young lady show me a new trick using salt, like you would for water colors. I am going to try it out!<br />
<br />
I ran out of magazines, and the store sold <a href="http://www.citrasolv.com/index.html" target="_blank">Citra Solv</a>, which means people are going to try it at home. I ran out of business cards and I see I have a few new people stopping by here to check out the space, which means I have to be better about updating the blog.<br />
<br />
I asked everyone to send me pictures of what they end up with and how they incorporate it into their art, which I truly hope they do based on what I saw yesterday.<br />
<br />
I also sold 5 pieces of art, which is a first. I usually donate the art, so it was a weird feeling have someone hand me money for something I created. But the good news is that 100% of the proceeds will be going to a Native American school in NM, which have been hit very hard by the sequester. So, the art is still helping others, just in a different way. The schools were featured on NPR and it kills me they are always hit first and the hardest. I can't stand injustice and want to do my little part in helping set it right.<br />
<br />
Brittany, at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JerrysAustin?fref=ts" target="_blank">Jerry's Artarama in Austin</a>, has also offered to let me hang the rest of the art, for sale in the store to help out with this little fundraiser, so if you are in the area and want to check it out, please click on their link for the address.<br />
<br />
I also want to give a shout out to <a href="http://www.citrasolv.com/art/index.html" target="_blank">Melissa Zeitler at Citra Solv</a>. She does an amazing job supporting artist who use their product for such an alternative purpose. The company has an artist page and really work hard to promote the artist and this artist is very appreciative.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in any of the art <a href="http://abstractendeavors.blogspot.com/2013/05/named-and-framed.html" target="_blank">click here </a>and scroll through, each piece is priced at $30 and all proceeds will go to a school, that really needs basic supplies like pencils and paper. If you want to purchase, please <a href="mailto:ward.carleh@gmail.com" target="_blank">contact me</a> and we will work out the details for shipping.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and supporting me. Here are a few pictures of the pages I had turn out yesterday.<br />

Well, I am finally able to announce that I will be doing a demo on Saturday, June 1st from 1-3 PM. I am going to be showing people how to work with National Geographic magazines and Citra Solv to create happy accidents and maybe some art.<br />
<br />
I have been busy this past week cranking out some examples and getting some of the techniques down to a finer science and have my fingers crossed it all goes well. Tomorrow I am going to crank out a couple mask sheet templates to stick in between the pages to see what happens. Wish me luck.<br />
<br />
In the meantime here is the latest artwork, which I will be taking with me to display at the demo! If you are in the area, please pop by and say hello or come and stay to play!<br />

<br />
I just wanted to provide a quick life update for you, since I have not posted much the past few months. I have been really busy with several projects in the works for various schools all across the country and have had no time to really sit and write or post. I am hoping the new iPhone app will help me with this problem, as I can now post photos from the app and post a blog from time to time as well.<br />
<br />
In other news, I am in the process of selling my house, which has taken away my art studio for the time being. I had the entire second floor dedicated to making art, but needed to put everything in storage for awhile, until I am settled in a new location. This means I am working out in my garage, or in the kitchen, neither being ideal for working in long stretches.<br />
<br />
At the moment my walls are bare of any art, and the walls have been painted white, which is not my favorite thing. It makes me itch to paint something right on the wall, but think that would be frowned upon....<br />
<br />
I have contracted with a local school to help them with their first art gala and auction. It is on a very limited budget and I will most likely sponsor the art supplies we used to create the projects, but it is all worth it. I love working with the kids and watching them light up, when they contribute to a class project or a school wide canvas. The pictures from the last post are the items they created for the auction and I am hoping they do well. <br />
<br />
So, stay tuned and thank you for stopping by and sticking around or subscribing. It means a lot, when you give me your feedback. I will try to do a better job of trying to update this site, even if it is a non art related topic.<br />
<br />
Until next time, here is some personal art I am working on. This one seems to change colors, depending on the way the light hits it. I am not quite finished with it, and have not decided what the next piece of it will entail, but I don't want to lose the affect. <br />

These next two, were custom pieces created for a couple of schools to use in their upcoming auctions. I used Citra Solv altered National Geographic magazines for the first one. The second one is my attempt at a sketch.<br />

I have opened an account on Zazzle.com, which will allow you the opportunity to own a little art I have created. I am adding tons of things today and over the next few weeks.
I get a small percentage of each sale, 50% of which will go towards buying supplies for the schools I contract with in order to help them cut costs and still create art.
So, if you are inclined, check it out. I may also open an Etsy spot, to sell original art with 100% of the profits going towards supplies for the school projects. I am currently drowning in my own art and need to downsize a little.

These pieces were created by altering National Geographic Magazines with Citra Solv and then using the sheets of paper in my Silhouette Cameo.<br />
<br />
The end results are mounted on 8x10" canvas covered boards. I like the way these turned out and will be using the technique on new designs and bigger projects, on and off canvas.<br />
<br />

<br />
I have been very busy the past few months playing with new material, helping out local non-profits with auctions and general getting things organized for my next art adventure. Today I tried out a new technique on the altered National Geographic paper, by running them through my Silhouette Cameo machine after coming up with a stencil design or two.<br />
<br />
Here are the results.<br />
<br />

<br />
I am also playing around with using the paper to create actual stencil cutouts, and dropping them on white backgrounds, but I am not entirely sold on the concept yet.<br />
<br />

We will see how I implement using them and I will post something here. Well, back to the studio!

It is very personal, yet universal when it comes to abuse and domestic violence. It has one more component to be added and then it will be entered into a judged contest in August. Hope you like it.<br><br>
