Residency recap

Spark Box Studio Picton, Ontario, Canada. Aug. 1-13, 2016 July 27: I leave for Canada having just completed three distinct exhibitions in Asheville, NC. I'm feeling ready to sow some seeds, experiment, and see what transpires. I stay in Toronto for five nights - fabulous city. With travel restricting my material supply and knowing that I won't have access to an art store during the residency, I must thoughtfully plan my materials list. At a store called DeSerres on Spadina Ave in Toronto I purchase: • Set of 10 Golden Fluid Acrylics • 1 tube Titanium White • Small bottle of DeSerres pouring medium • 1 long-stem bright • 1 small glue stick, • 1 hot pink marker • 36" x 60" un-stretched primed canvas Materials packed in my suitcase from Asheville: assorted decorative papers, 30 sheets 8 x10 paper, 25 sheets 11” x 14” digital print cardstock, 1 almost-empty tube of sap green, small half-empty bottle of high-flow Nickel Azo Yellow and Quinachrid

Student Artwork from ETSU Intro to Drawing

Narrative Self-Portraits, working from observation. Beginning drawing students were required to work from a mirror using charcoal, graphite, pastel, and/or watercolor pencils. They were invited to add elements that told a story about who they are.

All is Golden

River rocks are round in the Esopus River. Phoenicia, NY. What a fun summer this has been. In June I moved into a new home and new studio; in July I went camping, celebrated my birthday, and spend two and a half weeks at Penland School of Crafts. The cherry on top was a ten-day visit at the end of August with my mother in upstate NY. I've been referring to this as my "off the grid" vacation because I was without internet the whole time. Basically I sipped a lot of coffee with mom on her porch, went swimming at Gilbert Lake (love those NY state parks) and I read a bunch. Among my literature: Living and Sustaining a Creative Life edited by Sharon Louden, and 9.5 Theses on Art and Class by Ben Davis. The latter has me thinking about the role of artist versus worker, and the political and philosophical contradictions that the contemporary art world finds itself in. It's a chewy read and the writer offers an informed and revelatory perspective. Inside Gold
