Chasing Ghosts V: Art that Pierces the Veil through remembrance, legacy, & beyond
Verum Ultimum Gallery 3014 NE Ainsworth, Portland, OR, United StatesThis show emphasizes the idea of revealing the unseen or the soul in a work of art. The term ghost may be interpreted in many ways, not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation. This year's interpretation might be loaded with the added turmoil of current social, health, environmental, and political climate.

Exhibitionista: INSIGHT at the Cape Cod Museum of Art
The Cape Cod Museum of Art 60 Hope Lane, Dennis, MA, United StatesI am thrilled to be showing in The Cape Cod Museum of Art's upcoming exhbition, INSIGHT. When spoken, this word can be broadly understood as – Insight, In Sight and Incite.
Grace Hopkins, gallery director at the Berta Walker Galleries in Provincetown, and Wellfleet, MA served a s juror.
523 artworks were submitted by 272 artists from 30 states across the country for INSIGHT. Only 65 artworks have been selected from 60 artists in 16 states.
A note from the juror:
“Narrowing down the artwork for this exhibition was challenging. I first had to digest all 500+ submissions as a whole before any threads of meaning could be drawn between the works, and a final cohesive subset could be chosen. As a gallery director I am regularly confronted with an aesthetic puzzle. But, when you throw in the added thematic complexity of INSIGHT and the sheer number of works submitted, making a final selection was both a demanding and rewarding exercise in distillation. I want to thank everyone who came forward and placed their artwork into this pool. Another juror, with different values and sensibilities would have solved this very differently. Your collective vision, ability and insight moved me.”
-Grace Hopkins, Juror, Artist and Gallery Director, Berta Walker Galleries

Exhibitionista: “Turmoil and Transformation” at the Hera Gallery and Educational Foundation

"Turmoil and Transformation" show at the Hera Gallery and Educational Foundation, a non-profit, artist-run organization that has continued to stimulate discussion and challenge perceptions for over 40 years. This creative space has allowed countless artists a place for transformation, exploration, and community with one another which has been BRINGING CREATIVITY TO THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1974
"2020 was a year that was filled with worldwide turmoil. The Pandemic. Another reckoning with racism and police brutality. Climate Change, wildfires, hurricanes, and droughts. The undermining and politicization of science. The widening political divide. An election with voting rights, healthcare, immigration, paid sick leave, income inequality, living wages, reproductive rights, LGBTQIA rights, our environment and the future of democracy at stake.
Is this turmoil leading to transformation? And what kind of transformation is it going to be?"
