I'm delighted to have been chosen as one of the artists for the Boston Children's Museum's "An Alphabet of Inspiration: Artists Celebrate 100 Years of Collections." To help celebrate the museum's 100th birthday, artists were asked to do a display in one of 24 big wall vitrines using pieces from the museum's collection in storage. Each display represents a letter of the alphabet (with x, y and z combined into one).
I installed my display -- "L" for "lunch"-- this week, with lots of support from the show's wonderful organizers Rachel Farkas and Alice Vogler. Rachel posted this lovely blog post over on the BCM blog about the install (she got much better pictures than I managed!)

My window (and a bunch of others) are visible now, and all 24 displays will be up by the end of May.

A few months ago I was contacted by a man named Frank Capozzi, who was doing research to compile a chronological list of works on the topic of Judith and Holofernes. A few days ago he sent me the link to the article, published in the Italian journal Rivista di Studi Italiani. My work is mentioned in page 2 of the introduction, ""The most unusual depiction is by the American artist, Judith G. Klausner, who has done a three-dimensional depiction of the decapitation of Holofernes with mantises, fabric, paint, clay, and sand."
Bibliographical information is also included on page 285.

I am delighted and grateful to have received an Artist Fellowship Grant from the city of Somerville for the year of 2011. From their site:
"The Somerville Arts Council is one of the only four LCCs in the state which offers Artist Fellowships--funding for individual artists to continue their work. This category was developed because the Somerville Arts Council is committed to supporting the on-going work of local artists."
I am excited to push my creative explorations with the new opportunities afforded to me by this support!
