The Artwork and Footwork of Susan Clifton.

Yes, that’s me tap dancing. Dancing was my first passion in life. I started when I was 8 years old and never stopped. I rent the dance studio at Art Serve every week and my friend Joan and I tap our hearts out. I created one of the steps, Joan did the other and the last step was choregraphed by one of our friends and teacher, David Viner.

Richard Wright wins the Turner Prize

On December 8th Richard Wright was named the 25th winner of the Turner prize, Britain’s most prestigious art award, for his spectacular gold-leaf mural.

Those who know me know of my obsession with the mirror image, so I would love a trip to London to see this. Created in gold-leaf makes it hard to photograph. Looks intriguing.

Get to know Herb & Dorothy Vogel

You don’t have to be Rockefeller to collect art.
He was a postal clerk and she was a librarian. Of modest means but they managed to build a vast collection of contemporary art. Their story is incredible. They lived on Dorothy’s salary and used Herb’s salary to by art.
