It wasn't about being in a show but trying to see as many shows as possible. And I saw some really good ones.
(I also saw some "not so much")

This is Ellen Bradshaw who's show "Manhattan: Dusk To Dawn" was a must see for me. Luckly she was present and was able to give me a personal and up-close look at her work. These oil paintings can be seen at Pleiades Gallery, 547 West 27th Street, Suite 304, New York, NY.

These sensual terra cotta sculptures were inspired by actual mal-formed fruits and vegetables. This spacious and beautiful gallery should not be missed.

I began to think about anonymous figures in rather stark environments after a series of events shook the world. Similar figures often
appear in architectural drawings as "fill" in order to show scale or activity. The fitures in my world are emersed in their environments - but what is really happening? The viewer will tell the story.

I am the artist in the "spotlight" for the month of May at Sidestreet Art Gallery in Portland, Or. Please come by to see some of what a have been doing for the last few months. Here's a peek!
Once again. . .
Notice the decorative metal corner. I have found a way to secure the painting in a "floater frame" by using a metal piece at each corner. Remember this is a reverse painting on glass so in order to frame the piece it's been in a traditional frame with a lip.
Explaining the white "matte". I paint the entire back of the glass then "cut" away some of the painting, paint that part white and now I have the appearance of a painting with a matte around it. I sometimes find it effective in the final piece as it frames the image giving the viewer a more dynamic visual experience.
By the way, using the color black as a pretend matte doesn't work! The glare produced is overwhelming and detracts from the piece.
Also, expect some little flaws around the edge as the paint doesn't always cooperate.

"Wild Women" juried show going on right now at the River Gallery in Independence, Oregon.
"After the Swim" and "Pearls for every occasion" have been selected for the show
January 26-February 2. 184 S. Main Street
I will have four paintings in the Annual Re/Max Equity Group Art Show beginning October 6th 2018. A percentage of the sales benefit Rose Haven, serving 3,300 women and children to regain stability in their lives. The title of the show is "Acceptance".
My intention is to abstract my thoughts by painting and repeating "One city, many voices". With this in mind I was inspired to communicate through the use of shape and color. Sticks from my yard dipped in Sumi ink were used to scratch ladders over the paint - symbolizing our welcomed cultural connections.
Show runs for three months, the public opening is Sunday, October 14th from 12pm - 3pm. Re/Max headquarters building on NE 2nd and Broadway, Portland, Oregon

"Kick Up Your Heels" at Antolin Cellars in classic old Yakima,
Washington!
|
I will open a show at Antolin Cellars on Friday, June 2nd called "Kick Up Your Heels". If you can't make it the show runs for six weeks. The tasting room is located in the old train station at 14 North Front and will feature live music, wine tasting (of course), artwork, friends and family. The event is free, the weather is great so please stop in and enjoy the fun. It's time to kick up your heels. |
Everyone is invited to this event. I continue to paint my impressions of other worlds, inspired by the mission of astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly. The show is at Conrad Stone, a fabrication shop that also has a gallery showing Joe Conrad's stone sculpture and now my 2D work. I was the estimator there for some years and delighted to have been invited.
We will be star gazing (if I can master the professional telescope so graciously loaned - And, if it doesn't rain!).
Wine and Milky Ways will be served. Cheers, Karrie

"Oregon Impressions"
I'm so happy to be part of the Re/Max Art Show again this year. All four of my pieces were juried in!
My interpretation of the theme was based around the roads we travel and what you might see. All pieces are
reverse painting on glass and include "Path to the Beach", "Don't Fence Me In", "The Alvord Desert" and "She Likes Red".
I hope to see you there!
