Out & About, Late Summer 2014

This post includes images and adventures from the latter half of this summer, including projects in the studio, shows, studio visits, and other news. I hope you enjoy it!

To begin with, I thought I would share a drawing from my journal that I made into a painting recently:

Pen and colored-pencil sketch

Animation showing the progression for Projection (Woods), 2014, Oil on linen, 20" x 16"

And now on to some exhibitions, mostly in Chelsea or Brooklyn, that took place in August/September:

I am now working for Momenta Art, where Sound Texts was performed Sunday, August 31, 2014

readings performed by Jim Fletcher, Joey Gabriel, Rafael Sánchez, Kate Valk, Kathleen White

our next program is:

Love it when things like this happen while making paintings--for that brief moment it is a perfect little visual experience, and then gone! (as it should be)

And then, a studio visit with the very talented Jamie Powell!

And now a few photos from the Smiling Hogshead Ranch and surrounding neighborhood in Long Island City where I am an artist in residence. Now that I have returned from my residency in Mississippi (more info and photos from that in my next blog post, coming very soon). I am excited to start drawing inspiration from this location, and sharing my work with you soon:

And a few other events around town:

Lower East Side sunset, walking to the opening for the group show that I was a participant of,

Second Family

At the opening, you can see my painting there, on the left: Fit Together, 2014, 

oil on panel, 12" x 12"

The opening was well-attended to say the least!

Also a recent Wayne Thiebaud exhibition at Acquavella Gallery:

Wayne Thiebaud, Flood Waters

Wayne Thiebaud, Intersection Buildings

And there we are with Wayne, a little UC Davis alumni gathering organized by Gina Werfel.

Thank you, Gina!

Sunset in our hood, at the Seneca stop waiting for my train to a professional development workshop at the Durst Corporation in midtown...

And this was the view during the workshop! An inspiring vista to look at while planning for the future...

And lastly, the quilt I completed recently for little Fiona Curran (Amy Lincoln and Kevin Curran's daughter), in celebration of her birth

There she is! I think she's enjoying it already!

Until the next one, which will be coming very shortly!!!
