Hello! Just thought I should alert everyone that in May I am going to be featured in a national juried sculpture exhibition in Northern Virginia. It's at a gallery called the Lorton Workhouse Arts Center -There will of course be more details as the opening approaches! They accepted my new sculpture piece " Carry a Big Stick " and also an old standby, " Veil ".... you remember. How exciting!

Check it out! This was printed in the Weekender last week, but it's also on Fredericksburg.com! http://blogs.fredericksburg.com/weekender/2012/03/15/gallery-915-artist-maria-duke-is-quite-the-dreamcatcher-in-an-ethereal-exhibit/

And on a different note, here is a small acrylic I did of this exceptional bruise that is on my left shin right now. It really does look like that. Including those weird red specks.
