Holiday 2009 / Winter 2010 Update
 Apologies, all, for the lag time since my last posting. I've got a lot going on, as we all seem to during the holidays, so I'll keep this brief, and promise to tell more soon. I'm very pleased to announce that one of my lithographs, 'You Can Not Erase Me,' was chosen for the private collection of the Vicious Dog Press, along with a lineup of other artists representing the vanguard of MSCD print makers... awesome! Also, a couple of my lithographs were chosen for the Metro Now show at the Emmanuel Gallery, which opened yesterday. The exhibition was juried by fantastic local artists, Jill Hadley Hooper and John Davenport, and features work by current Metro students. Emmanuel Gallery's exhibitions are always free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Friday from 10-6 and Saturday from 11-5. (This show is really really good, one not to miss.) Happy Valentine's Day! And, President's Day! And, Chinese New Year! And, Opening of the XXI Olympic Winter Games! More soon. Xo, Izah

Lighting at 6:20 pm. Gallery: Outdoors at Manny's bridge. The historic, steel railroad, now pedestrian bridge, 1400 Wynkoop Street (over Cherry Creek in LoDo) Denver, CO 80202 What is LoDo Lights? Public art of our time in the form of light media. The 2009 launch year serves as an illuminated tribute to Denver's 150th Anniversary. The project is patterned after the successful annual "Lucia d'Artista", in Turin, Italy. There, contemporary art light sculptures are spread through the historic city to help brighten the winter nights. Virginia Folkestad, a Denver installation artist, was chosen to create Denver's inaugural light project. The interactive light installation contains elements of historic patterns of travel projected on the pedestrian bridge deck, plus washes of colored light changing as people move across Cherry Creek. The work honors the original user, the DRGW Railroad, and the many who have used the bridge. *There is pay parking inside the building at 1400 Wewatta/1401 Wynkoop.
