And, if you go to the site, you will see myself and my wife in the second photo/slide from last
year; pure coincidence.

And, at Tamale Hut Cafe on Saturday, October 9, 2010: 7-10pm:

hosted by the nexus of art gatherings in the near-west suburbs. Tamales will be for sale, so bring cash and an
appetite (the restaurant is BYOB, however some wine and beer will be provided). Look forward to
seeing you there.Or not. The artist lives in Berwyn.

"We’ve reached a point in time when people talk on their cell phones even while they walk from meeting to meeting. Spending time alone reflecting is becoming a somewhat rare event, so much so that I worry it is becoming a lost art. As a result, many of my paintings feature individuals spending time alone reflecting. While these paintings are intended to be positive or neutral, some individuals interpret them in a melancholic way or as indicative of a sense of impending doom. As a cognitive psychologist, I can’t help but be fascinated by how individuals’ personal backgrounds and histories affect their interpretations of these paintings and others." -- Robyn T. Oliver, Artist Statement.
