Award Show

I’m thrilled to invite you all to my first art exhibit: All Things Holy. I was awarded the honor of a solo exhibition when I won Best of Show for “The Green Vase,” in September, 2012, at Artel Gallery, Pensacola, FL. Most of the work to be on display has been created since that date. The show runs from June 4 to July 12 in the Award Alcove and coincides with Artel’s main juried event: Time.

The reception is June 14, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

I would love to see you there!

I stopped painting for two years after my father died in 2009. This was the the canvas that reclaimed my creative spirit. Bach’s “Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor” paired with Gavin Bryars’ “Sinking of the Titanic” * cradled me through swells of anger, love, helplessness and tears, until I reached that place of acceptance and peace. It was very much a cathartic process that began as mourning but ended in freedom through a spiritual communion with my father. Painting is the one place where I can see. This painting has been added to the G+ #FirstFridayArtWalk

* Note: I had the good fortune of attending Gavin Bryar’s 2012 performance of “Sinking of The Titanic” at (Le) Poisson Rouge (@lprnyc), in NYC last April. Both recordings are generously provided by Q2 Music (@Q2Music) and are both  worth your ear.

I’m not sure if the b/w version works; the halo ends up carrying too much weight. If it’s lightened any more, the balance of the piece shifts entirely to the bottom.
