Dear Friends,

 

Hope this April newsletter finds you well. My art show at Masters Gallery is fast approaching and I am now doing the finishing touches on my paintings. Dates to save are May 2 at 2pm for an Artist Talk and May 8th from 5-8pm for the Reception/ Party. I realize that the Flames may be playing the evening of May 8th. If that is the case, please feel free to wear your Flames jerseys to the gallery; coming to my show at Masters will be a great combination of culture and sport! There’s word that the Flames game may even be available for viewing during the show for those die-hard fans attending.

 

The paintings in my ‘Viewpoint’ exhibit depict the local experience of people, places, and objects; the work hints at the ‘magical’ made present through color, line, and spontaneous form. The aim of the work is to re-see everyday place through an immediacy of contact.

 

I have also continued to explore Frida Kahlo in my paintings. I feel that I owe much to Frida’s example of placing her art, herself and her opinions in the public realm. I paint Frida as a way to dialogue with her across time – artist to artist. I find through this process that we are often reflected.

 

Again, the show will hang between May 1-9, with an Artist Talk on May 2 at 2 pm. For a preview of the work or to view it online, please visit: http://www.mastersgalleryltd.com/exhibitions/viewpoint. I am so pleased with this series of paintings and I can’t wait to share them with you. They are magical works…
