Leave a comment

I love love love Nancy Lamb.  I’m honored to say she’s a friend of mine.  She is a sculptor and painter, living and working in Fort Worth.  She has exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Art; Tuchfabrik, Trier, Germany; Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles, California; Arlington Museum,Arlington, TX.; Kimbell Art Museum, Ft. Worth, Texas; and the Galveston Art Center, Galveston, TX.

Her work has been featured in Harper’s Magazine, Texas Monthly, and New American Painting  and many local Fort Worth publications.  Some of her notable work includes designs for two 200-foot terrazzo floors at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, murals for the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and her “Social Spaces” of party scenes.

She was featured in a video series of Fort Worth stories…

The Pursuit of Excellence

Leave a comment

“A healthy artistic climate does not depend solely on the work of a handful of supremely gifted individuals.  It demands the cultivation of talent and ability at all levels.  It demands that everyday work, run-of-the-mill work, esoteric and unpopular work should be given a chance; not so much in the hope that genius may one day spring from it, but because, for those who make the arts their life and work, even modest accomplishment is an end in itself and a value worth encouraging.  The pursuit of excellence is a proper goal, but it is not the race itself.”

Who Does She Think She is?

How many times have I heard THAT in my life… plenty.  But only when I was doing something for me, not for my original family or my children.  The criticism, as a woman, that comes when we do something that’s meaningful for ourselves and not necessarily to anyone we are prescribed to take care of.  I didn’t know this documentary existed until today… only available via Amazon now.
