Birds

So many birds come through Alaska every year and I love watching them fly through the skies. These are a couple non-migratory flocking I was also inspired to paint. More of this style on the way because I'm in love with this process!

Busy Autumn

9/22/2016

0 Comments

 
This time of year always catches me a bit short - wishing I could stretch the moments longer. This month I said goodbye to my little studio space with the Well Street United show, which included 5 new pieces of mine in the main gallery and open door studios for all artists. Was fun to visit with folks. I'll miss this studio, largely for the community that exists in the building but my new studio at the Annex is much larger with better ventilation. Looking forward to wintertime long studio hours!

Several other projects are in the works right now, lots of irons in the fire!

Well Street United is a show that opens First Friday in September at Well Street Art Company in Fairbanks, Alaska. The show will be hanging for the month of September but on opening night September 2, all the studio spaces that artists use in the building will be open. I'll be there in my studio with work for sale. Come say hello!

I'm having a super fun long weekend in Corralitos, CA at Wax Works West taking a workshop with one of my favorite encaustic artists, Lisa Kairos, who is also an awesome instructor. Yay! I'm so excited and inspired! The studio here is absolutely drool-worthy too and now I NEED a metal top table.

Bears

4/28/2016

My bear painting titled '42 Bears' is off in the mail to the Pratt Museum in Homer. It's for an exhibit called 'Bears' that will be up this summer and is an art-science collaborative effort. I was inspired by a population density  study published in 2013 that concluded that there was around 42 brown bears (various ages) per 1000 square kilometers (about 9 square miles) on the Kenai Peninsula. Population density studies are used for game management. That's a whole lot of bears in one place! In the painting, there are 42 bears on top of maps of the area.  I hope to get down to Homer this summer to see the exhibit! And maybe a bear or two. :-)

March is my month at Well Street and I had the whole lower gallery. I ended up with 42 pieces total and at 4 or 5 themes. The Watercolor Society was in the other half of the gallery and they counted over 500 people who came to First Friday - it was a busy night!

I seem to be restless in my quest for easy and fast webspace! I'm moving all my content here to this new host, which will take some time. As I do, I'll be updating content and moving old posts over, putting titles on things, etc. 

Thanks!

The microbe-related study is going well although I have neglected my petri dishes so long that they dried out and created these gorgeous patterns!

Violin Project for the Fairbanks Symphony

12/1/2015

0 Comments

 
The Fairbanks Symphony asked if I would be part of their painted violin project fundraiser this year.  I love old Russian fairytales so I decided to illustrate a couple moments from  Rimsky-Korsakov's Tsar Saltan: 
 ------ 
‘Interlude’ was inspired by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s operatic telling of the The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of his Son the Renowned and Mighty Bogatyr Prince Gvidon Saltanovich and of the Beautiful Princess-Swan. At one point in the story, Prince Gvidon is turned into a bumblebee by the Princess Swan so he can stow away on a ship to find his father. It is this moment I chose to paint, as it is a high-energy piece that seemed very visually compelling to me. I also imagine that it would be a challenging high-energy piece to play on violin. The flowers are in the stylized method of Russian floral painting I have seen in Russian fairy tales. Gold leaf was used to suggest royalty.

I'm so excited and honored that my work will be part of the show, 'Living Alaska: A Decade of Collecting Contemporary Art for Alaska Museums', for the next couple months at the Anchorage Museum!  The Alaska Dispatch wrote a nice review of the show here.
I've been working on more landscapes lately in preparation for my show in March 2016 and am pretty excited to get out in the field to collect more views of the Alaskan landscape I love so dear.

In a Time of Change - Microbes

10/3/2015

0 Comments

 
I'm excited to be part of another ITOC (In a Time of Change) collaborative show. This will be my third ITOC and I'm psyched that the topic is microbes. We are meeting more regularly over the next year as a group (22? artists & various scientists who work with microbes), we'll go on some field trips and, finally, in September 2016, we'll have a group show at Well Street Art Company. We will each get a section of wall to fill, as  we like, with artwork. I've had a microbial theme in other work I've made but never tied it together with actual science. Will be so interesting and fun to tie in information from the real world into my art and to revisit this theme!
