Access Gallery – Denver, CO

The third leg of my National tour with the In/Finite Earth collection opened this month at the VSA Colorado chapter – Access Gallery. Previously it was installed at the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center in Bowling Green, Kentucky and Volkswagen Headquarters in Herndon, VA after finishing it’s three-month long exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution.

Denver,CO – In/Finite Earth is the 12th exhibition in VSA and Volkswagen Group of America’s annual Emerging Artists Program. This longtime collaboration provides 15 selected visual artists who are living with disabilities, ages 16 – 25, with an unprecedented opportunity to receive national recognition at the start of their careers. Culminating in a national tour of the winning artwork, including exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institution and other venues across the country.

This year’s theme asked the artists to showcase work that illuminates innovative viewpoints at the intersection of environmentalism, creativity and disability. The winning artwork presents each artist’s distinct and compelling responses to their environment, personal history, and, at times personal disability.

VSA Colorado/Access Gallery is proud to host this exhibit for the second time. This year we are also pleased to have a VSA Colorado/Access Gallery artist AJ Kiel in the show. AJ has worked at VSA Colorado/Access Gallery and by being one of the winners AJ was able to go to DC for the unveiling of this exhibit.

Appearances ’14 – EcoFestival Recap

This past weekend I participated in the Appearances ’14 EcoFestival in Provincetown, MA. I probably should’ve gone to the first weekend of the festival as it rained during the entire time I was there and the weather last weekend was perfect. Oh well, last weekend I had to do the Cambridge Science Festival. I had wanted to do a Nature Divination workshop but was directed to the wrong location… so I missed it. Anyway, I still got to see my artwork at the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies and participate in the Art + Meditation workshop at Gallery Ehva.

Anyway, I enjoyed the Art + Meditation workshop at Gallery Ehva. The meditation was the growth of trees and we had to do a drawing of what first came to mind during each stage of the growth of a tree (i.e: roots, trunk, leaves, crown, environment, etc). I ended up talking a lot about how I’ve been wanting to live freely and live my life on my own but I keep facing setbacks and associated my growth as an artist to the growth of a tree…

Anyway, I’m glad I went as it was fun to see my artwork in Provincetown, I was also invited to show at Gallery Ehva in their June exhibition but I haven’t heard anything yet, they have my contact info, so we’ll see if that comes through, but I’m excited at the prospect of it. I did some shopping, I didn’t buy a whole lot, just incense and a quartz point.

A Solo Exhibition: Electrolyte

A Solo Exhibition: Electrolyte

For the month of July, the electrographer – Kristi Beisecker is coming to Florence, MA to exhibit new artwork as well as display previous collections. Electrolyte, is an exhibition that is a celebration of her progress as a fine art photographer. The show is hosted within a gallery space at a spiritual gift store, Groundings, LLC. The shop specializes in crystals, tarot cards, meditation tools, herbs and incense as well as spiritual readings from a variety of styles.

 

Electrography is produced by exposing organic materials with electricity on photo sensitive paper and developed normally in a darkroom. This photographic process is originally used as a scientific process, seeing its’ potential Kristi reinvigorated the process to make it compatible with traditional darkroom processing. As a result, her works are dramatic, auric, images that invoke all sorts of emotions. Kristi developed the process from taking an Alternative Photography course as part of her Graphic and Interactive Design degree. Electrography was originally thought to capture the life force energy of organic materials (flora, plant life) and was marketed as so, but science explains that you are conducting the water within the plant life and capturing the light that it emits onto the paper.

 

The reception for the exhibition will take place on July 19th from 3pm – 5pm at Groundings, LLC – 7 Main St. Florence, MA. There, you will have a chance to talk to Kristi as well as look at her work up close in person and enjoy light refreshments.

You can find Kristi’s artwork on the following social media sites:

Exhibition News

13814-BLackboardgalleryweb

My work, Treeflowers, was accepted into an exhibition titled, Less is More! at the Blackboard Gallery in Camarillo, CA! The exhibition will run from March 1st – March 22nd. Super excited for this exhibition as it is my first one on the West Coast! Now my artwork is Bi-Coastal!

I am SUPER excited for this exhibition! This past week, my artwork, Parsley, was accepted into a Spring juried exhibition, Massachusetts!, at a local gallery in Cambridge, MA. I feel like this is my first “real” gallery exhibition. I don’t know why. The exhibition will run from March 20th – April 12th, 2014.

The Empty Spaces Project

1599781_736229466389292_219763217_oBack in December I exhibited at a local gallery called The Boxcar Gallery. There I met a few more local artists and a gallery owner who owns a gallery in Putnam, CT. I learned that I was their first artist to be invited to their Tragic Love exhibit. Tonight I went out there to check out the space and have a few drinks. They were drawn to my ‘Smithsonian’ status (as it’s been lovingly called…) and it was the one of the many factors that went into inviting me to their show. A lot of work seems to have gone into the space and I guess this upcoming exhibition is like their “reopening”?! I don’t know!! But it has given me some thought as to how, where and the direction of my creative space will go. I’m intrigued by the idea of taking over empty store fronts for gallery and artist spaces (The Empty Spaces Project). There are some things that need to come to pass but for now I have to move out of my studio in Beverly and transition completely to Longmeadow.

The Boxcar Gallery Reception

575256_378481182297177_639000869_nFriday I drove back to Western Ma to attend The Boxcar Gallery’s Opening Reception. This gallery is literally in an old boxcar. The gallery is located in downtown Greenfield, Ma. It is also part of The Empty Space’s Project. Kim, the owner of The Boxcar Gallery, had the opportunity to also exhibit some of Joseph Mallord William Turner, a painter from the 1800s.  It was really nice to meet some of the artists in Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. I also met the owners of a gallery in Putnam, Connecticut and they were interested in showing my work as well. First venture out in Western Mass, a success I’d say.

Artiste Marketplace and a New Calling

DSC_0115This weekend I participated in the Artiste Marketplace sponsored by Artiste Art and Craft Studio.  I didn’t sell anything but I gave away a lot of marketing material which is always a good thing. As usual, people were generally interested in my artwork and spent time asking questions and looking through the portfolio. I’m glad I had that experience. I even met someone who wants to do a trade – teaching her photo processing and her teaching me Reiki. In the past week that was the second time my artwork has attracted Reiki practitioners. I met the Owner of  ‘The Healing Center’ in Beverly at my reception last Tuesday who is also a Reiki practitioner. It makes sense that I’m attracting these type of people because Reiki is all about using the life force energy to heal people. The owner of ‘The Healing Center’ wants to do a collaboration with me and my process which I mentioned in my post about the Studio19 reception. I went on their website and I found a class about plants – too perfect for my usage! I’ve been wanting to use the medicinal properties of plants in my artwork some how. And I love that it’s only one Thursday a month. I signed up for the December class since next week is a little to soon for me. I’ll have to leave work early, but that shouldn’t be a problem. I’m excited to see where my artwork is taking my professionally and spiritually. 🙂
