EXHIBITIONISTA: TEXT/MESSAGE with Shoebox Projects

By

“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

Exhbitionista: “Telling Stories” with Shoebox Arts

By

I am thrilled to participate in: 

“Telling Stories”

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2022 3-5pm PST: Zoom Opening Reception and artist talks

Presented by Shoebox Projects

Curated by Michelle Robinson, Artist and Curator

“Art and craft are means to tell stories visually. Through mythology, fairy tales, cultural commentary, dream imagery, family history, and personal narrative, art has sought to examine the challenges and mysteries of how we live; to interpret and understand our world and share those thoughts with others. This exhibition showcases how artists are telling stories now, from abstract and non-linear to representational and narratives” at Shoebox Projects“

Exhibitionista: IDENTITY at Art Fluent

By

“IDENTITY is a display of aspects that usually remain hidden—a bittersweet and raw take on what churns inside us. We all have a certain idea of who we are through our identity, but to get there, we need to probe beneath the surface. To get a sense of ourselves, we need to explore who we are, how we are viewed by the world, and the characteristics that define us. This exhibit explores our beliefs, qualities, expressions, and personalities that collectively form our identity.”

I am honored to participate in this exhibition, showing “White Zip“.
