AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

What a wonderful website! I love it when people come together with a common bond, especially when it is positive with so much creative energies communicating and supporting each other.

This may be the only time I ever look a this since I don't have the time to play blog. If you have something genuinely important to contact me about, use the email.

Hello. I am a brand new member to the Artists Meeting Place & Resource Center, and I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself through my website: www.jamiemarks.com. I am a devoted wife and mother currently pursuing a graduate level of education. I expect to be a well-renouned artist someday, and am in pursuit of achieving that goal, one baby step at a time. Please visit my website, specifically my art gallery page, and let me know what you think. Any questions, comments or advice is appreciated. I look forward to chatting with like-minded artists and art supporters in the near future. Warm

Just wanted to say Hello. Brand new member of AMP.

I'm a clown, performer, actor, and director based in Yonkers NY (although just recently-- before that I was in Providence, RI and still maintain my ties in that community.

Ewww, what's that under my nails? Ah, yes, I remember now....red, green, purple clay......How nice to wake up with clay under my fingernails again.....and to sleepily brush glaze onto a few pieces while waiting for the coffee to brew.

My current passion is an alternative photographic process called Polaroid transfers. Each polaroid transfer is hand-made by the photographer using specific materials and equipment to achieve a desired effect. A transparency is projected on to professional Polaroid print film and as development begins, the print and chemicals are prematurely separated. The image is transferred on to dampened watercolor paper for a unique image which has a dated artistic photo-painting appearance. Exposure, development, pressure, time, paper and other variables make each print an original mono-print. Since the negative is destroyed in the process, no two images will ever look alike.

Picture it, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 2006 - Najmi's Spirit on the floating stage with the Wicked Tinkers, the finest pipe and drum band in the land......feels like it was a dream. Our first "big" venue, a whole five minute dance. The universe still owes us ten more minutes of fame.

The newEar + TIMC collaboration worked out smashingly. Performed Friday the 15th of September at Unity Temple on the Plaza and rocked it up. I posted a video unresort.com made on You Tube at
