Everything seems to be happening at once right now. I have artwork in two different shows that are both having artist receptions tomorrow night. I am happy to announce that my piece Reflections will be shown at the Art Students League of Denver. I took at class last year with the wonderful Jo Fitsell, who invited me to participate. I honored that she thought of me!
Summer of Art: ASLD Students’ Exhibit
Invitational- Faculty & Students
Exhibition Dates: May 25 – June 22, 2016
First Friday Artist Reception: June 3| 5:30 – 8pm
The Art Students League of Denver is an inclusive and inspiring art community where artists of all abilities are guided by professional artists to reach their highest potential. This exhibit highlights the talent of beginning to advanced students chosen by their instructors to represent our artists’ community at its best!
A couple of years ago I took a class with Katie Pasquini Masopust. The class was about painting canvas and then cutting it up and reassembling it into painted canvas quilts. I was so inspired by the workshop that I went home and painted several canvases. Unfortunately I was not struck by inspiration at the time and never came up with any ideas for what to do with these painted canvases. Until now! 40 West Arts announced a call for entry with the theme of Drip! My painted canvas had been largely painted with dripping paint so I knew this was the time to get those canvases out and make something. The following piece came together and I'm excited to say it was accepted into the show. It is titled Polychrome Rain. The reception for this show will be at the 40 West gallery on June 3rd, from 5:00 - 8:00 PM.
