Meet Up Location: Rio Verde Community Center*
Sign-Up Required before December 4th. Limited to 15 participants.
Experience Monumentality Prints, Abstract Expression & Fabric and Sculpture.
Frank and Judy Haggard have lived in Rio Verde for twenty years. Frank’s interest in art began sixty years ago during his graduate work in English. It was initially focused on small, signed, limited-edition, realistic prints; later, that interest came to include abstract work, with an occasional foray into contemporary fabric sculpture, glass, and ceramics. Without Judy’s support, participation, and occasional tolerance during the last fifty years, what we now live with could not have happened. Some of the prints were done by academic colleagues, occasionally by their students. The work of Leonard Baskin and Carol Summers is included in the collections of major museums in the United States and Europe. The fabric sculpture was done by an Iowa State University colleague, a close friend of Judy’s and mine. The glass art was done by an undergraduate I taught in Shakespeare, and who was taught Materials Science Engineering by another colleague and neighborhood friend. The ceramic sculpture comes from Jeff Reich who, with his wife, Farraday Newsome, formed Indigo Street Pottery in Mesa.
