What's New In the Studio: UPDATES
The Forbidden Doors
18x24
Collage and acrylic on Canvas
I am recouperating from a wonderful weekend at the Woodstock School of Art Fair that was part of Upstate Art Weekend. After a four year hiatus of in-person shows due to Covid, I was thrilled to be back on the show circuit. I meet many local artists, saw old friends and made some new ones! It was a successful weekend - selling both art and cards. Most importantly, I was able to show my recent work which excites me greatly!
I am grateful that my collaged metal rooster raised 525.00 for the Hurley Heritage Society at June's auction. It was the first project I have done like this, metal collaged with gelli plate prints.
A new piece, shown above, The Forbidden Doors, will make its debut at the Arts Society of Kingston for the show CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACTION NOW! curated by abstract artist Meredith Rosier. (August 3rd- Septmeber 2nd, 2024
Opening: August 3rd, 3-5 PM)
We are part of Art Walk in Kingston NY, on SaturdaySeptember 21/22 from 12-5 I will be showing art/cards under the tent (weather permitting) and Larry will give a garden tour to any who are interested. I bake and there are always refreshments served!!! (more info/maps/links etc as we get closer to the date)
I was also accepted into the juried online show FALL FOR ART. The Jewish Federation of Ulster County hosts this show every year, the proceeds of which go to various charities in the area. I will have cards, small art, and other decorative arts items for sale and will provide the link to the show as we get nearer to the date.
For the past 6 months I have been working on a body of mixed media abstract art inspired by the childhood fairy tales of Andrew Lang, The Brothers Grimm, and tales from around the globe. As a child they wrapped me in a blanket of adventure, magic, and wonder. Drawn to them in later adulthood, I am rediscovering these morality tales in explosions of color, shimmer, and movement.
