Tightrope | MFA Thesis Exhibition
Please join me for the opening reception to my MFA Thesis Exhibition, Tightrope! I am very excited to share my hard work from the past 2 and a half years. Come see the work “in the flesh”, talk about art, connect with others, and celebrate with me! Hope to see you there.
My MFA thesis exhibition, Tightrope, highlights the meaningful and precarious nature of everyday life. From the title, the work in the exhibition recognizes the delicate balance necessary when satisfying the demands of social, personal, or artistic expectations. Drawn primarily from the experience of starting a family, higher education, and the pursuit of artistry, my paintings explore balance as a practical theme, as well as the way in which tensions in beliefs, emotions and opinions manifest themselves in the mundane. I see the commonplace as an arena for sacred reflection on the complex nature of being, and an opportunity to join the longstanding subject of genre painting.
Reception: Tuesday, February 4, 6 — 8 pm (Light refreshments will be served)
On View: February 3 — 7

ART FROM ART

MANIFEST GALLERY
"Art From Art" Manifest Gallery, Cincinnati
November 10 - December 8
"...ART FROM ART sets out to showcase works that reference, borrow, recontextualize or otherwise utilize existing artworks, whether old or new, in an obvious way. The ways in which this may be realized are incredibly numerous, and we were eager, in calling for submissions, to see the various approaches artists feel fit this theme.
For this exhibit 150 artists from 37 states and the countries of Canada, England, Iran, Slovakia, and Ukraine submitted 425 works for consideration. Fourteen works by the following 11 artists from 11 states were selected by a blind jury process for presentation in the gallery and the Manifest Exhibition Annual publication." (MANIFEST WEBSITE)

I invite you all to come see my upcoming two-person show with Tyler Griese at New City Studio in Phoenix, Arizona! "Eyes on Us" is an exhibition exploring contemporary portraiture though our different approach in capturing and elevating individuals. Although our styles differ, we both share a deep passion for centralizing the human figure while expressing concern for the idea of personhood and the human condition in art.
I am extremely excited to be showing much of my paintings together for the first time in Phoenix. And better yet, they will be in conversation with the fabulous work of Tyler Griese.
Tyler's paintings contrast between warm and cool tones simultaneously by using colored light to illuminate his figures, enhancing the conceptual possibilities of the human psyche through color and composition. You can check out his work at www.tylergriese.com
Opening Night: Friday, September 1st, 7 - 10 p.m. (First Friday) at New City Studio 1300 N Central Avenue, Phoenix as well as Friday, September 15th, 6 - 9 p.m. (Third Friday). The show will also be open for viewing on Sundays during New City's Morning Services.
