Thank you Sioux Falls

What an incredible experience.  The people of Sioux Falls are wonderful.  They really took care of all the artists in the 2012 SculptureWalk. 

Thanks to Jim Clark who somehow manages to take care of more than 40 artists, coordinate all the installs, find sponsors and manage the multitude of volunteers.  Amazing!

Here’s a shout out to all the volunteers.  Thanks for introducing me at the opening reception (Mike and Lois), helping us get our sculptures in place and installed and being so kind.

Thanks to my sponsor AdWerks. I definitely appreciate it! Great new SculptureWalk web site too!

A big thank you to Sioux Falls for welcoming us into your wonderful city.  It was my first time and I’ll definitely be back.

Thanks to all the artists.  Everyone I met was cool and talented.  I’ll admit to being a little awestruck to be counted amongst you.  I’m sure I walked around all weekend with a silly grin on my face. Thanks for the ideas, inspiration and the welcome!

Here’s a special shout out to my good friend and talented artist Judd Nelson.  He graciously lets me work in his studio, gives me good and honest feedback, and helps keep me going in the art world. 

And finally thanks to my family and friends.  They put up with my crazy notions and piles of steel in my backyard (I promise to use it all).
