St. Bonaventure University Exhibit in March!

 

Abundance Now Opening Reception Friday, November 3

The Charlotte Art League (CAL), in partnership with Charlotte-based artist and curator Maura Bosbyshell, announces the opening of Abundance Now, a comprehensive art exhibition featuring nine Charlotte-based artists. The opening, with the artists in attendance, will take place on Friday, November 3 from 6-9 PM at the Charlotte Art League; the exhibition will also be featured in a gallery crawl on Friday, November 10.

Abundance Now offers a stellar line-up of local Charlotte artists who work in a wide variety of mediums and dimensions, including drawings, prints, paper mâché sculptures, and wearables. In addition to its depth and breadth, this exhibition highlights both self-trained and traditionally-trained artists who employ unique approaches to their creative practices. Much of the work will be available for purchase.

“My goal in curating this exhibition is to bring people outside of the artist community into the creative fold, and highlight a strong line-up of artists who deserve space and voice. This exhibition shows an excellent cross-section of artists and genres, and the intentional variety in this show offers an opportunity to expose a broad and diverse audience to their work,” curator Maura Bosbyshell notes.

Midnight Sun Silk Screens!

Alaskan Sun I began a series of silk screens and paintings of the Alaskan Midnight Sun at Arrowmont this summer. In the arctic summer, the sun rotates in the sky coming close to the horizon, but never actually setting.

The Mindsight Sun print at the top of this post is currently in an exhibit in Chicago’s Bridgeport Arts Center near the White Sox stadium. I layered three different screens. This piece and three others from the series sold before the exhibit in Chicago even began. Many more are available.

These silk screens are 10 x 10 inches.
