Tickled to have 3 pieces of analog collage in the latest issue of Subjectiv Journal, for fall 2022. This lovely publication showcases visual and literary art from the Pacific Northwest! You can download a PDF of the full issue here, or read it online on Issuu. You’re in for a treat, whichever way you go!
I joined the National Collage Society this year, and was pleased to be selected for their annual juried show. My piece, “words fail,” is shown below — and you can see all 70 pieces in the online exhibit here! You can also see it in person at Coburn Art Gallery in Ashland, Ohio. Congrats to all the talented artists; I’m humbled and honored to show with you.
I have a piece up in 12x12x12: A Celebration of Community, on view at ARTSpace Gallery in Lake Oswego, Oregon, through October 28 (gallery hours 10a-5p, Tuesday through Friday). Check it out — there are more than 60 artists featured, and it’s a wonderful collection!
Some of my collage work made it into the 40th annual Wallowa Valley Festival of the Arts. Held at the Josephy Center in Joseph, Oregon, in scenic Wallowa Valley, there was a ton of wonderful art — and mountain scenery — to take in. Kudos to all the exhibiting artists!
Pleased to have a piece in Folx Gallery’s new show, “The Canary Ate the Cat,” a virtual exhibit up now. This monochromatic show focuses on the evocative power of yellow, a color I’m drawn to time and again.
Pleased to be a part of the #COLLAGENOW 2022 show from Denise Bibro Fine Art. The virtual exhibit is up through the end of September, and there’s a tremendous amount of talent for you to peruse. Check it out on Artsy, or see my 4 pieces below.
I’ve been experimenting with minimalism and negative space in some of my more recent collages. This one, “Getting ready,” is affixed to an index card as substrate.
As mentioned in the previous post, I’ve been doing a creative challenge since June 1, which has been a nice way to pass some time. Daisy Yellow Art does something called Index Card a Day, where — you guessed it — you make one piece on an index card each day. Beyond that, there aren’t too many constraints, although there are some suggestions for themes, as well as daily prompts, if that’s your sort of thing. Here’s a small sampling from my first month participating; still plenty of time to play along if you’d like!
The fabulous Pacific Northwest Collage Collective hosted Paper Cuts 2 in Wenatchee, Washington, at Collapse Gallery this spring. I was tickled to have a piece in it, and to spend creative time with a wonderful group of people.
I was also honored to have two pieces in Lunaria Gallery’s “Home is Where the HeART Is” show in January 2022. If you’ve never visited, Lunaria is in Silverton, OR, and is a lovely space right downtown.
Honored to have been a part of “Putting the Pieces Back Together” at the Bristol Art Museum in Rhode Island. While the national juried exhibit of collage and constructions closed in April, BAM has tons of wonderful programming and exhibits — visit it if you have the pleasure of being out RI way!
Lovely opening for the Light Work PDX show. Please to have a mixed media collage piece, Inertia, in it! Make art, enjoy art, spread joy.
