Love Field Artist Reception

On Tuesday I was joined by my family and friends at an artist reception for the artists who created public work for Dallas Love Field.  It was a joy to share this moment and my work with my mother Lorena, her husband Ralph, my sister Rita and brother David, who all came down from Oklahoma for the event.  I am honored to be part of this collection with so many other great artists.

Long time friends and collaborators, myself and Saskia.

Good looking family!

On Monday night I attended the celebratory unveiling of the completed new terminal at Dallas Love Field Airport.  It was an elegant event and a memorable celebration and I was thrilled my friend and collaborator Saskia Seibrand of Mosaika was able to join me.  Below are some of my favorite moments.

It's official!

The rewarding end of a long and wonderful journey.  Many THANKS my assistant Kate and to the  team from Mosaika, all who glazed, cut, and placed tile as well as Mike, Emily and Ferruccio for installing.  Could not have done it without you! And a huge THANKS to Drema Chaves and Kay Kallos from the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs, Kim Kavanagh of KAVPLAN, the team from Hensel Phelps Construction, and Jeff Miller of Love Field Modernization Program for all your support during the installation.  

My amazing team! Ferruccio went home early and is not pictured.

North Texas Sunrise DAY 21- 23

Not too many pictures for these last few days as grouting is grouting and this picture of Kate says about all you need to know about it.  But Emily was able to capture a few moments on the Mosaika blog.  Check em out: http://mosaikadixiedallasloveairport.blogspot.ca/

Lots of grouting in they sky.
