SUMMARY:The Art League Aug 2024 Open Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Lotus Flood from my Perspective Series (20×20″ mixed media on canvas) was selected by Andy Yoder\, juror for the August Open Exhibit at The Art League\, Alexandria\, VA. \nThe Art League Gallery is open daily 10 am – 6 pm. \nConcept and Process:\nThis is another play on reversing the human invasion of nature. Here\, a flood of organic forms in the shape of lotus leaves reclaims the manmade structure (geometrical forms). As a colorist\, I combine the chromatic push and pull with the perception of depth to generate a more dynamic composition. I took photos of old walls with exciting textures of rocks\, concrete and wood\, collaged them digitally to create the foundation of the composition\, printed the digital image on watercolor paper and then painted over with watercolor\, gouache\, pastel\, and ink (lines) to enhance the grunge look\, then mounted on the wood panel sealed with cold wax.

SUMMARY:Van Landingham Gallery September 2024 Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:I am introducing new works from my “Inner Gardens” collection in the September 2024 group exhibit at Van Landigham Gallery. This collection is inspired by nature reclaiming abandoned buildings and the concept of inner gardens within each of us (an inner connection with nature). Using new techniques of layering with multi- and mixed-media\, I’ve created a sense of space that the viewer can imaginatively enter\, connecting with our environmental awareness. I am excited about this display and would love to share it with all of you. \nThe gallery is open during the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s public hours\, which are 10 am—6 pm daily. I will be there most Saturdays and Sundays 2–6 pm starting the third week of September.

SUMMARY:The Art League Sept 2024 Wit & Whimsy Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Unhinged (60×36″ acrylic and spray paint on canvas) was selected by Elissa Armstrong\, juror for the September 2024 Wit & Whimsy at The Art League\, Alexandria\, VA. \nConcept and Process:\nUnhinged is an attempt to relax the viewers\, take their minds off daily obstacles\, and engage them in a fun visual trick or illusion. Viewers may wonder if it’s meant to be about faces (profiles)\, plants\, or buildings. And it is whatever they want it to be. I used florescent pink and light shades of yellow-green (acrylic) to set a soft atmosphere in the background and then energized it with dangling and upward-growing shapes (spray paint) and fixed-width thinner lines (collaged blue tape). The two futuristic orange spheres (eyes) and the lines (outlines of human or bird heads) interact to generate three whimsical profiles\, with only two present simultaneously depending on which way you look at it—the wave being the mouth and nose or chin for all three.
