Summer 2003

Update on the Blessed Virgin

A visit to Pat McEvoy's studio, Baltimore. McEvoy, using a Cartesian box, has been working diligently enlarging the 1/3 scale Mary maquette that Hempel designed for Our Lady of Mercy's sanctuary. Hempel will transport the six-foot Mary to her studio in October for final revisions and detail. A summer 2004 installation is anticipated.One can see the Cartesian box (left) surrounding the scale plaster model and the enlarged clay piece. The box allows the artist to take measurements in three dimensions!



First Open Studio

The first of hopefully several "open studios" is being planned for the first day of November. The city of Frederick hosts a First Saturday Gallery Walk. Every first Saturday over 50 shops and galleries keep their doors open late offering light fair and special exhibits. Come to the open studio at 5th Street after perusing all the shops uptown!
