The Draw of Rosalind Franklin

Who knew there was another Rosalind Franklin fan in the neighborhood? One gallery visitor saw the poster featuring the scientist (who first photographed DNA, revealing its helix structure) and made her way, post-haste. Turns out she had written a prize-winning play featuring the scientist. After some delightful woman-scientist chat, she treated us to a break-dance demonstration. You never know what you'll find at The Sometime Gallery, folks.

Art/Party: Who's With Me, Now

Grab a brew, don't cost nothin'.
It would come to no surprise to friends or my parents that National Lampoon's Animal House played a big part in my development. We will not be serving cottage cheese, Jack Daniel's, cucumbers with Mrs. Wormer, 10,000 marbles, a dead horse, or kiln accidents at our receptions and openings, but we will be serving up a good time, nonetheless.

Going Up: An Exhibition

Today we hung around 40 artworks, oils, and mixed media. I'm so pleased with the pieces Jen brought over. There is a lot to look at, and talk about, with this show.

On Friday evening, the artist will be on hand to speak about the subjects of her paintings. Be engaged and charmed as Art meets Science and, well, ART, as we learn about the lives of such notables as the Curie family, Beatrix Potter, Berthe Morisot, and Claude Monet.
