It has been my pleasure to be involved with the South Fork Breast Health Coalition’s Annual Art Birdhouse Auction, founder; Karyn Mannix of East Hampton, NY.
Here is 2007’s auction entry-
“Nude Descending a Birdhouse”; an homage to Marcel Duchamp’s groundbreaking “Nude”.
(Can you tell how much fun I’m having with these?!)
Here is “Titmouse Guggenhouse”, 2005…a mixed media “birdhouse” influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright’s NY Guggenheim Museum.
(purchased by René Zellwegger.)
And here: “Hurdy Gurdy Birdy Hut”, 2006, a mixed media “birdhouse” influenced by the architecture of Frank Gehry…with the addition of a “hall of mirrors” upstairs!
(Purchased by Laura Christophersen)

Another wonderful project was the San Francisco Library’s “Reversing Vandalism” Exhibition of books that were vandalized by some nut, mostly attacking the Gay & Women’s Issues departments. The guy was finally caught, though, he had ruined hundreds of books.
This was my effort to give this particular book new Life:
“Mixed Messages”, 2004

The Sweetest thing…
I had sent out “paint by number” Holiday cards last year and what a wonderful surprise to get this emailed back to me, painted in by Rhonda!
“Winter Wonderland”,
Thanks to Rhonda, Darrell & Astrud, my friends in Marion OH.
