Peacefulness. The afterlife. Spiritual eternity. The figure here is captured
in an uncompromising position and yet somehow set free emitting joy, finality and peace still allowing one to trust the deeper meaning of their own spirituality.

Oh Crit!

Back to school and back to the grind. Continuing on the post graduate program at the Fine Arts Workshop; more like Warhol's Factory than an art school or studio, Michael David and Tom Swanston are constantly reinventing ways to create a vibrant and productiove art circle right here in Atlanta. This week we will be witnessing a first ever in encaustic process... (shhh) more later!

And of course we are getting ready for our next ctitique session in another week where we prepare to be pummeled. The atelier artists of King Plow are working harder than ever. I'm amazed at what can come out of unified group of artistic women with a purpose.

SEA Show June 3-5 Heaven and Earth

The Southeastern Encaustic Artists host a wonderful show at TULA next door to the Museum of Contemporary Art. The theme for the show was Heaven and Earth, Contemporary Works...Ancient Process. Our mission is to foster the success of our members while educating the public about encaustic painting and it's resurgence as a modern art form.

National Show

Chosen for the Valdosta National which opens January 19, 2010, here is a description of my work "Everything New is Old Again". My first encaustic sculpture/mixed media piece.

Encaustics were used in the ancient Greek days for painting ship hulls as well as coating statues. This lost art has resurfaced in the modern art world and has captivated audiences internationally. This piece is a conceptual piece, which extends this concept of circular patterns of life.

The magazine articles used on the base of this piece are from the 1940’s. They all relate to subjects with re-current significance. Our schools are overcrowded, we are facing a depression, the wars rage on and we still try our best to find the healthiest ingredients from sugar derivatives to cod liver oil while we remain too busy and distracted to even stop by a Starbucks for freshly brewed coffee. (Now they make instant).

Televisions which were once a thing of the future are now to be preserved in a time capsule of history. The SONY TV in this piece is rendered useless by the modern days of satellite signals, yet useful as a form for this particular creative solution.

Lastly, the surrender of my artistic will to the fact that nothing is new is represented by a white flag frozen in time. Perhaps it will speak to someone or everyone and express the lack of learning from the past, yet relentless effort of the human spirit.

Galerie Gora Show in Montreal, Canada
