Show Review

My show, along with the three other solo shows, at AVA Gallery, got a review in the Valley News.  Read it here. 

Show At AVA Gallery

I was teaching at AVA the last two days, and although my show  (one of four solo shows) there does not officially open until this evening (reception 5 - 7pm), I got a sneak preview.  Here are a couple of shots; more "official" ones coming soon.  The other work in the gallery - a sculptor, a painter, and a printmaker - is pretty stunning, and I'm looking forward to meeting the other artists!

18"x18" Stripes and drips

12"x36" Stripes

36"x36" Canvases

8"x8" collage and paint on panel

Preparing for a Show

I have been busy preparing work for a solo show at AVA Gallery, in Lebanon, NH.  There are four simultaneous solo shows, and the opening reception is on Saturday, April 23, 5:00 - 7:00.  Here is the postcard for the show:

And the info:

I can't wait to show you gallery shots of the pieces installed. 

Pattern and Process

I just hung my show at the Canfield Gallery, in Arlington, Vermont.  I'm calling it Pattern and Process, and now I have it up online!  View the individual pieces here; they are all available for purchase through the Canfield Library.  I will take care of shipping after the show comes down at the end of May.  Enjoy!

Here are shots of the gallery, just after hanging.  The opening is tomorrow, 3 - 5 pm.  I'll post pictures of that next week.

Fiber Arts Show

Last night I went to the opening of a fiber arts show called "The Uncommon Thread" at Vermont Institute of Contemporary Art.  It totally renewed my passion for fabric and stitch, which has been waning over the last few years.  I knew several of the artists represented in the show from an encaustic workshop I took last January through North Country Studio Workshops.  These included Sandy Gregg, Marilyn Gillis, and Wen Redmond.  Great to see Sandy and Marilyn there, and also to meet Elizabeth (Betsy) Fram, whose work was breathtaking.  I also particularly liked the work of Karen Kamenetzky.

Here are a few samples:

If you are anywhere near Chester, Vermont, check out the show.  It is up through October 21.

Here are a few pictures from my show at Gallery 47 (which does not have a web site yet, or I'd have put a link). I didn't get good pix at the opening, though it was (thankfully!!) well attended. I was too busy chatting. FUN!! Now I am psyched to take more opportunities to show my work - in the flesh as it were.

These pieces are mounted on wood panel:

A few of my 5"x7" pieces, framed in 8"x10"

A couple of larger pieces, 11"x14"; sorry for the glare on the left one.

Also mounted on 10"x10" wood panels. I love this alternative to framing with glass:
