SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: TEXT/MESSAGE with Shoebox Projects
DESCRIPTION:“Text/Message” focuses on how we use text in fine art. Whether painting\, sculpture\, mixed media\, video\, digital\, the use of text plays an integral part in telling stories. It can add a poetic layer\, or a humorous anecdote. Text can challenge societal assumptions\, activate our inner desires or crusade for long held beliefs. Text also lies.”  —Kristine Schomaker \nCurated by Kristine Schomaker \nView the Show HERE\nSee and hear the Artists Talk/Exhibition “Walkthrough” HERE\nParticipating Artists: Stephen Anderson\, Melanie Antuna Hewitt\, Lisa Bahouth\, Hazel Batrez\, Chavez Fred Becker\, Sheri Lynn Behr\, Greg Blair\, Renee Bott\, Austin Brady\, Marie Brix Tyler Brumfield\, Nikyra Capson\, Isabella Cardim\, Andrée Carter\, Lisa Cooperman\, Ian Cross\, Steven Dick\, Debra Disman\, Zahra Fard\, Margaret Jo Feldman\, Pennie Fien\, Karen Fiorito\, Martin Gantman\, Candice Greathouse\, Briena Harmening\, Gigi Janko\, Karen Ruth Karlsson\, Judi Krew\, Tom Lasley\, Linda Litteral\, Bachrun LoMele Gina M\, Lori Markman\, Monica R Marks\, Beatrice (Bea) Antonie Martino\, Nancy McDearmon\, Katie Mead\, Jennie E.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA:  SAFEKEEPING: SDA's 2023 Member Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to be a part of “SAFEKEEPING“\, the 2023 Member Exhibition of the Surface Design Association! (SDA)\nEXHIBITION THEME:\nThis is a time for safeguarding both body and land\, for seeking refuge through ritual and narrative\, and for defending precarious boundaries and issues. \nSanctuary Cities\, Nature Conservancies\, Safe Houses\, Communities of Care are at the forefront of public consciousness. As an artist\, how do you sustain both the earth and its communities? How do you protect yourself in body and spirit as well as strengthen connections with others? How can you tend values that matter most? How do you use heritage\, ritual\, and the making process to anchor yourself? Safekeeping brings together works that explore these questions and the role artists play in stewarding communities\, values\, and the earth. \n Safekeeping will celebrate works that push the evolution of textiles through the use of color\, design\, processes\, and meanings.\n\nView the Show HERE!\nListen to the Artists’ Talk HERE!\n\nJUROR\nBorn in Oklahoma\, Anita Fields is a contemporary Native American multi-disciplinary artist of Osage heritage. She is known for her works which combine clay and textile with Osage knowledge systems. Fields explores the intricacies of cultural influences at the intersection of balance and chaos found within our existence\, explaining that: “The power of transformation is realized by creating various forms of clothing\, coverings\, landscapes\, and figures. The works become indicators of how we understand our surroundings and visualize our place within the world.” In this way\, the early Osage concepts of duality\, such as earth and sky\, male and female\, are represented throughout her work. \nIMPORTANT DATES: \n*June 2\, 2023: Exhibition Opening\, First Friday Art Crawl\n*June 21\, 2023: Textile Talk Virtual Program\n*July 23\, 2023: Exhibition Closes

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "Oh\, Mother" at the Hera Gallery
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to be a part of the international group exhibition: “Oh\, Mother” at the Hera Gallery\n“The word MOTHER – as both a verb and a noun – is rich and timeless\, yet overdetermined\, and even controversial when gendered and rendered exclusive. Mothers and motherhood have been romanticized and glorified since the Venus of Willendorf and have been the subject of representation over the ages in every ethnic\, cultural\, religious\, spiritual\, social\, and environmental contexts.  \nWhat does the word MOTHER mean to you? As a child of a mother? As a witness to a mother? As a mother\, or a person who mothers? As a human being deeply connected to Mother Earth?  As an artist\, what images does the notion of motherhood conjure up in you? Are they generous and abundant\, filled with nourishment and laughter?  Or are they frail\, overwhelming\, and. Confusing. Are they filled with a sense of darkness\, destruction\, or  a void? Hera Gallery looks for works which examine\, unravel\, deconstruct\, and re-write the myths of motherhood.”\n \nJuror: Nadiah Rivera Fellah\, Associate Curator at the Cleveland Museum of Art\nOpening Reception: Saturday May 13\, 6-8pm\nVirtual Artist Talk: TBD\n
