But in that spirit, this quarterly is devoted to a few items directly related to my studio practice and paintings around the country and in my adopted home town of Nashville (read: it's been very busy and I have not chosen a carefully planned update, so the update consists of the reasons why I have not updated-whew).
ONLINE
Curator Kristen Nash included my work in a recent online only show called Pleasure & Pain. This show attempts to catalog works in abstract painters' practices.
ARIZONA
My painting, "Blind" (oil on panel, 12 x 24-right) was chosen as part of Painting Now (Nov 8-Dec 6, 2014), curated by Stuart Gibson at Florence Quater Gallery at Southwestern University School of the Arts in Tucson, AZ.
OREGON
Paula Booth has curated my work into a 3 person show called Degrees of Abstraction (Nov 17-Dec 12, 2014) at the Cannon Gallery of Art at Western Oregon University.
TENNESSEE
Two weeks ago was the opening reception for a show I have co-curated with Laura Hutson at Tennessee State University. The show, Selvage (Oct 24-Nov 21, 2014), takes it name from the discarded and often hidden bits and edges of textiles. Though the work is inspired by a mutual interest in the visual culture of quilts, the works range from paintings to sculptural textile wall pieces. Sara Estes wrote a great piece on the show.
Pick up a copy of Nashville Arts Magazine, or read the piece that Megan Kelly wrote about me and my studio practice, and photo portrait by the wonderful Tina Gionis.
My solo show Archival Spelunking (Nov 20, 2014-Jan 9, 2015) at the Tennessee Arts Commission is a great time to see recent paintings! Should your holidays bring you into downtown Nashville, I'd love to meet you at the gallery and walk you through the paintings (all for sale).
There other projects that make me happy and connect me to my work in the community. For example, I hosted a private panel discussion at my studio called Art/Work. I brought together several entrepreneurial creatives for a discussion on routine, creating and community. In addition to the House Portraits Project (for which I am taking holiday commissions), I have posted an affordable (all $50!) sale of Works on Paper.
In closing, I am picking back up with COOP Gallery after a year-long "sabbatical." This group of artists are hard working and inspiring, glad to be back.
