Working Away

I am working away on a lot of new paintings....will update with better images when more complete. I am trying to get away from working on the floor! It's a bad habit I am trying to break!

new surface series painting

Nature Series Collage

This is a series I am playing around with. I love the abstraction found in nature and the amazing subtle colors vs the crisp punches of color.

Inspiration

I took a trip to WV to visit my brother and really got a lot of inspiration from the amazing natural beauty there. I took a ton of photos and have managed to create a series of some really interesting images that correlate to my new work. I love photography and I am so inspired right now. I will post some of the abstract nature series soon.

more fresh work

Fresh Work

I love having a clean studio. I spent yesterday cleaning, organizing, and getting things in order. I am really excited about a new series of work I am doing which is a slight departure for me. I feel like I needed to let loose a bit and let go of some of my own boundaries. I have experimented with some new materials and mark making. It will be interesting to see where this all goes. Happy Painting!

I stopped by to see the show at Sandler Hudson Gallery of Greely Myatt, an artist and professor based in Memphis. Check out his narrative installations.
This piece is is made from reclaimed wood, fluorescent lights, metal and steel.

This sculpture of Myatt's is made of burned out light bulbs, wire, and electricity

Artist Talk with Susan Loftin

Susan Loftin has created "Pink Seat" on the urban courtyard of the roof top balcony of Sandler Hudson Gallery. This is made of found wood and Susan wanted us to experience her pink seat as she is in this picture.
