What makes me happiest is working with my hands. I love creating anything, but in the past ten years I have drifted more and more into making glass mosaics. Art sites always interest me – they give me inspiration and new ideas for my work.

These two beautiful art museum web pages make good use of flash. The first site comes from the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It focuses on Edward Hopper, an American artist who was around in the first part of the twentieth century. Everyone knows his art. At the very least, we have seen it in television ads. The web site does a great job giving you an overview of his work and it is fun to peruse.


The second art exhibit site was created by the National Palace Museum based in Taiwan. This is a well done multilingual web site, and it does a great job highlighting the calligraphic work of Mi Lu – a painter, writer and calligrapher who lived during the eleventh century. The site is gorgeous as well as instructive. Enjoy!
