Teen Artist Internship Program

Still Life; 20 x 16; acrylic on paper;
created during my time as a mentor in the Teen Artist Internship Program

  Over the passed eight weeks I have been working with a local high school student as part of Artworks! Teen Artist Internship Program.  The program was begun in the hopes of giving teens an insight into the practice of a professional artist.  As a mentor, the experience has been incredibly rewarding.  I conducted an eight-week painting course and worked closely with my student to strengthen her ability in color-mixing and composition.  The project culminates in an exhibition which opens at Artworks! next Thursday and remains on display until the end of July.  Come join us and show support for these young artists.

Hinterland Opening

Hinterland Art Space, Denver, CO

 
  Last Friday's One-Hundred Days opening was a success!  At Hinterland Art Space in Denver the show was too far flung for me to attend, but some participants in the project skyped themselves to the opening.  The work was installed by artist, friend, and project participant, Mindy Bray.

  Mindy was kind enough to take photos of the exhibition, and I've posted them below for your enjoyment.

I think the wall with my 25 small landscapes looks fantastic!  Thanks Mindy!

MFA Thesis Exhibition

  This is the last week to view the Graduate Thesis Exhibition at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.  Fifteen MFA candidates in fine arts and artisanry are on display at the Star Store in New Bedford, MA.

Around town

  Last Thursday was AHA night in New Bedford.  I attended two events for exhibitions in which I had work, and still had time to take in a lovely installation by one of our ceramics graduates, Amy Uthus.

  The MFA Thesis Exhibition is installed!  UMass Dartmouth students have the entire week to get their pieces hung in the three University Galleries.  And some students have quite extensive installation procedures.  But for now, my paintings are arranged, hung, and awaiting labels.  And I am very pleased by how they look.

  Join us this Saturday, April 2nd for the opening reception from 3 - 5pm.  The show will be on display until May 12th.

  Here are some more photos from install.

Closing Week: Nesting at the Narrows Center for the Arts

  This is the final week for the joint exhibition at the Narrows Center for the Arts.  If you intended to see the show, now is the time.  De install will happen next Sunday.

  In other news, I have a piece on view at Gallery X in New Bedford.  And I am framing work for inclusion in a silent auction at Montserrat College of Art in April and for a student exhibition opening at Judith Klein Gallery in two weeks. 

  It is a busy time of year.  And somehow I am squeezing it all in before the big hurrah! of the Thesis Exhibition.
