"Surfaces" @ Sandler Hudson Gallery

Okay I have been taking a break from the studio and blog since my show went up. It's been an intense past year and having some moments to relax  has been nice. Here are a few shots of the show. I have more work posted on my website. It feels good to have the work up on some clean white walls. The shows runs through Feb 25th at Sandler Hudson Gallery. Click on the titles to see larger pictures.

Surfaces Statement

This recent work body of work is an exploration of structures and layering. Pushing the paintings further and finding new shapes and surfaces has been an exciting avenue that I plan to continue with. I have loosely named the smaller groupings “The Fat Series”. There is a bold and raw quality behind these pieces. I work intuitively to create all my paintings. They are a reflection of the energy and state of mind when created. I want the tactile seduction of paint that inspires me to come through to the viewer.

I spent last weekend cleaning my studio and I am still not done. These small pieces created quite a mess and they required the most paint I have ever used. I am looking forward in starting some new work to continue the fat.

Happy New Year!

Best wishes for a creative fun year! This is one of last pieces I completed in 2011. It is a close up to show the layering going on. I am wrapping up some pieces for my show coming up and will be doing all those cleaning up details we all love to do;) My next post will most likely be after my opening. I will get back into the Sunday Selections once all has left the studio and arrived at the gallery.

Ky Anderson creates stunning works on paper. They draw you in with  beautiful translucent layers and subtleties.  The use of line and washes of color is quite special.  I love works on paper and Ky has a large selection to check out here. Ky is represented by Dolphin Gallery and Kathryn Markel Fine Art. Ky also shares her art collection which is fun to view.
Happy Sunday looking~

I am working away to finish up pieces for my upcoming show. This is a new one. The pieces are coming together, just feel that pressure to add a few more. I always complete more than I need but I like having the option to eliminate and make the show flow once the paintings are there. I hope your Thanksgiving was amazing! happy painting weekend!

Cecil Touchon @ Emily Amy Gallery

I went to see the Cecil Touchon show at Emily Amy Gallery this week.  The show is titled "New Works & Old Favorites". It is a mix of collages on paper, panel, and canvas. From the gallery website: Touchon views collage as directly reflective of his personal experience. He states, “This fleeting quality of papers and messages and the images they contain seems a fitting material for the contemplation of our temporal condition- of our brief sojourn in this world".
The show runs until December 3rd. The gallery has a beautiful space- check it out!

Sunday Southern

These days I spend my time at my day job and the rest in my studio. I won't even pretend that I use the kitchen much...it's basically a room I pass through to get to where I need to go. My husband Zak is the one who creates in that room. I am fortunate he loves to cook and likes to make something different to surprise me. This morning he made  jalapeno-chorizo grits with egg and cilantro. A twist on a southern staple.  Yummy!
