Spirits soar at Gallery Walk March 1, Monarch Migration

Port Townsend Jefferson County Leader Article features my Monarch Migration Painting:

Port Townsend Jefferson County Leader  This Week  Feb.26-March 4

Monarch Migration ll  acrylic on canvas   48 x 72 "

 

 "Monarch butterflies that once covered 50 square acres of forest during their summer layover in central Mexico now occupy fewer than 3 acres, according to the latest census.
The numbers of the orange-and-black butterflies have crashed in the two decades since scientists began making a rough count of them, according to Mexico's National Commission of Natural Protected Areas.
At a news conference Wednesday, the commission said the count was down 59 percent from December 2011 levels, when the insects filled 7.14 acres of fir trees in central Mexico."

I would like to invite you to the Transforming Gesture Exhibit Reception this Saturday October 2!

Here is the poster for our show!
I am excited to be showing with two other fabulous artists, Amy Reeves, jewelry and Karen Kosoglad, painter.
Karen and I both went to U.C. Santa Cruz and studied with the same teachers. We have a lot in common with our gestural process, but also very different palettes and approaches to our imagery.
Amy and I met when we both attended the Artist Trust Edge Program. Each of us produces art inspired by nature expressing the gesture of form. It is because we each have this gestural quality that I thought our work would be interesting together. Each of us echoes nature in a new way. We'll find out this Saturday, when we see the show hung together. I'm looking forward to the surprise of the alchemical creation as our three art forms coalesce into one art show.

Northwind Showcase online

My paintings will be in the Northwind Arts Center Showcase, Port Townsend, Washington through the end of September. Please visit online to see my Fireworks painting. Northwind Arts Center Showcase Gallery Featured Works.

Transforming Gesture Exhibit

Transforming Gesture

Paint and metal become form.
Transforming the gesture into evocative works of art, three artists express their reactions to motion, form and time in paintings, and jewelry explosive with color, passion and intellect.
Truthfully present in the moment, each artist explores her unique vision with a common thread.

The Artists:

Amy Reeves, " The passage of time has become a recurring theme in my jewelry."

Andrea Lawson, "In my Rite of Spring paintings, I explore movement and rhythm of gestural dance figures as they appear and disappear creating a metaphor for our relationship with a pulsating natural world."

Karen Kosoglad, " I'm interested in the gestural moments in everyday life and the balance between weight, rhythm, shape and color."

Transforming Gesture will be on view October 1 through November 1, 2010
