NEIT TechArts Participation 2016



3/31/2016
By Catherine Ratliff

I have submitted three of my works of art to the New England Institute of Technology in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. It is an in-house event but information from the website mentions that the public is welcome to view these works of art between the allotted time frame listed below. The artworks I chose to be on display for 3 months are: 




  • Candy Girl
  • Tootsie Sweets
  • Queen Grace
  • Merry Lou



 Visit my gallery to see them and other artwork.



New England Institute of Technology (NEIT) will host TechArts, an art exhibit showcasing the talents of its students, faculty and staff. The works will on display from March 28th to June 4th.
The school will showcase arts from many media:
  • Drawings
  • Sculpture
  • Photographs
  • Paintings: Watercolor, Acrylic, Oils, etc
  • Handmade furniture
  • Costumes
  • Many more
TechArts has been representing the creativity of its students and staff since 1995. It is a real honor to be accepted as one of the artist to display what I hold dear as a relaxing hobby. I had been extended the opportunity to participate in the event but always opted to withhold my ability due to the feelings some artist suffer....and that's feeling that your art is not good enough. So, I have to change the way I view myself and what I do. It will be a truly great experience to walk around the exhibits and see the wonderful works of art by other talented individuals and also hear the whispers of folks nearby as they enjoy.
Some art will be showcased permanently in the college's 27,000 sq ft library. My exibits will only be showcased for 3 months. 
More information from website include:
The New England Tech library is open Monday-Thursday from 7:00 a.m.- 8:00 p.m., Friday from 7:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m.  
For more info and contact information will be available on their website.

Hallo-Fam Time

By Catherine Ratliff Oct. 2017      Spent time with the family indoors this past Halloween 2017. It made for a really different experience. Words couldn't express the evening. Therefore, I will let the slideshow do the talking for us.      We put together some really nice snacks that turned our taste buds into a frenzy. We baked yellow cake with chocolate frosting. We added the word Halloween logo 🎃, on top in an orange delicious and harmonious glaze. I literally heard music to my ears. This earth-shattering cake was served with chocolate and vanilla ice cream.      We also made rice krispie treats. We added blow pops to sweeten up the dish. We were some real SWEET DEMONS that night.     Then I sat on the couch wearing a witch's hat and striped orange and black socks that extended up to the knees. We really created a witchy atmosphere.     It became a movie night. The movie selection was from my f...

Informal Florals

I'm no florist, but when you have some floral scraps left behind and an empty tomato sauce jar....it can be a match made in heaven. I decide to marry the two together. I made a DIY floral arrangement in my living room. I cut the stems and threw them in some water. That tomato sauce jar was on it's way into the trash/recycling canister. A friend said, "You have to remove the tomato sauce wrapper off the jar." I could not bring myself to do that. The colors worked well together and so I did not take that advice. Now, the scene looked very Parisian with the brass Eiffel tower standing shotgun. And..........just  below it I wanted to throw props to my oldest vase in the house.  I picked up this vase at a second hand shop for a few bucks. I purchased some faux floral arrangements at  my local Walmart. I tend to add different colors throughout the year. But, this particular arrangement reflects the Christmas holiday.
