McDaris Fine Art Dawn Breeze Artist Presentation

Please join me this coming Thursday for an artist presentation.  I plan on presenting the artistic process and inspiration behind my recent works made in Iceland, as well as personal images of my trip to Iceland. 

A wonderful opening

 Untitled (for now...) 2012

aprox 26" x 20" (will check that tomorrow too, for now its a guess)

Hand made paper, muslin, acrylic paint, pastel, netting

This week I found myself in the studio wanting to do light work...simple, fresh...I am really inspired by all the green and chartreuse surrounding me in springs glorious rousing, and the landscape is enchanting me...so I started working on a group of works on paper, paper that I made!  Last month I took a paper making workshop, which is definitely a process that suits me.

And that painting that I was loving before the show opened is actually rolled up and put away for a while...too heavy.  Right now I just want to blow in the breeze with the lightness of spring, in celebration of  birth, in life's awakening.

Thank you all who attended my opening last week, Enough at McDaris Fine Art in Hudson, NY.  It was truly amazing to see so many friends and people turn out for the opening.  I am truly blessed.  For anyone who missed it, the show will continue through May 26th and we are discussing presenting an artist talk at the gallery, about the process of my paintings, the book and Iceland.  I will let you know!

Enough

Show Opens Next Saturday!!!  Installation begins Monday, I doubt I will be finishing up that new painting until after my opening.  My energy is now here.  I hope many of you can attend the opening.  The show will be hanging until May 27th...a good long time for you to see it!

I love the text on the invite:

....."These works whisper rather then speak, exhibit grace, eschew the obvious, and draw the viewer into a visual embrace.  They manifest a spirituality tempered by wisdom, enhanced by deep gratitude."

Thank you!!! I mean it, THANK YOU!

Save The Date

Dearest Friends,

I want to invite you to save the date to my upcoming solo show; 'Enough' which opens April 21st from 5:30-7:30pm at McDARIS FINE ART at 623 Warren st. Hudson NY. This show will be the first exhibit of my recent works from Iceland, it will feature elemental paintings as well as works on paper all created during my residency at BAER Iceland. I am really excited to share this work with you and hope you can attend the opening. The show will run through May 26th and I will send the show's invite as a reminder soon.

My short film, Running Still(which won the people's choice award at Master on Main st. Film Festival in January) will be shown at the opening of the Foundry's Film Series in Cohoes, NY. They are kicking off the season May 1st with short experimental films, curated by Jacqueline Weaver.

And lastly, in case you missed my radio interview last month with Paul Smart about WORK on WGXC you can listen to it here. It's an hour long show about art and work, I start about 15 minutes in to it and its a REALLY entertaining show with fun music too:)

Thank you so much for your continued support and friendship in my life and artistic endeavors.

Much love,
