Red at Flow - Photo by BurnsideThere's a great adventure awaiting you in Jim Thorpe - a one man museum, gallery and amazing local food restaurant called FLOW...... it's a flowing experience - you just gotta go to see what I mean.
Pitch Fork and Gerber before heading to MacDonald GalleryI'm excited about the show at College Misericordia, in Dallas, PA, which opened today. Showing with Nina and Skip in the main gallery with my works in a separate gallery gives the viewer a large range of what art is and can be. The 'installation' idea came by co-creating with curator Brian Beneditti who wanted the look of the space to feel like my actual studio - hence there is a rawness not ordinary seen in a gallery like setting. To not worry about framing was liberating..... like going without a certain under garment.....UPDATE: The show was featured as a "Best Bet" by the Times Leader Guide! www.timesleader.com/stories/best-bet,133617
Here's a sneak preview of a piece which will be exhibited at the MacDonald Gallery April 10- April 29 with the opening reception Saturday April 14 , 5:00-8:00pm. It's a shovel - to help dig to deeper levels.......
A local hospital is a little brighter for kids and staff due to the safari themed bus I recently finished. It's amazing the power of ART! It stimulates a smile..... it heals, it uplifts, it makes one ponder, it refreshes, it just helps to make one feel just a little better...... And that..... is a really good thing.
I always like the idea of the basement and attic as being symbolic of our sub-conscious. In those areas there is great fecundity - like a day lily blooming out of the dark, deep purple earth.
She said make me painting of colorful beautiful flowers. She said I'm tired of buying arrangements every week and then having to throw them away when they die. She said I want something to last forever.
