Creating site-specific installation at The Weil Gallery
The process began two years ago…unsure of what I wanted to make at the time, I would go into the studio each day, beginning in the Fall of 2015, trust my impulses and intuition, piece together disparate, fabrics, papers and painted patterns and slowly move from two-dimensions into three.
Piece by piece, the work has slowly evolved into a multi-media exhibition…and you’re invited to experience it!
I’ll be hosting a weekend Encaustic workshop at my new, bright, spacious studio at The Mill at 80 Fountain St.,Pawtucket.
Day 1: Beginner workshop for those new to or curious about learning encaustic. Or… if you need a refresher on the basics,
Day 2: Continuation from Day 1; Or… for those who already have work(s) in- progress and need the space and set-up to keep going.

I recently visited Ireland and fell in love with The Burren region. It’s covered in limestone and feels otherworldly and weird.

It didn’t take long in my travels to discover that I wasn’t alone in feeling inspired by this landscape. Sean Scully, originally from Ireland and who’s work I love, used the arrangement of the limestone to create a large body of work consisting of photographs…

and paintings…

This Burren contains a lifetime worth of ideas. I can’t wait to get back to my studio and dive in to my own photographs and memories of this magical place.
Great day all around at the “Feeding the Creative Spirit” workshop, held at The Newport Art Museum last week. Participants were busy making shadow drawings in the morning; spent time at mark-making stations mid-day, and, later in the afternoon, “worked into” shadow drawings with paint. Good vibes, good learning and tons of art-making at this SOLD-OUT, 6-hour art workshop in Newport, RI.

The Newport Art Museum studios will serve as the venue for an upcoming workshop “Feeding the Creative Spirit” that I’ll be co-teaching with artist friend, Emily Vickers. In case you didn’t realize just how beautiful the surroundings are, here’s a sneak peak …

Something is definitely getting very close to culminating in my creative process – relatively speaking. I had been painting, exclusively for over 10 years and suddenly (thanks to an honest conversation with friend and fellow artist), it occurred to me to move back to my roots (in fashion design) and finish what I started there…not with clothing – per se – but with experimenting and manipulating fabric as sculpture for the body and the performance aspect of a runway show.
So, that is what I’m doing…working toward a performance that will attempt to transport an audience to experience my inner world for 20 minutes or so.
Stay tuned for updates…and in the meantime, here’s a sneak peak …
I visited the Fuller Craft Museum yesterday.
I’m kind of in love with this place …

Did you know that Fuller Craft Museum has serene 22-acre campus surrounded by over 700 acres of scenic woodland and the brilliant architectural landscape of Frederick Law Olmstead’s D.W. Field Park in Brockton, MA.? The Museum also has an award-winning 21,000 square foot building, sculpture garden, courtyards, and nature trails (like Caroline’s Pathway).

As many of you know, I have been teaching at the South County Art Association for a few years and I’m happy to be showing eight of my encaustic paintings in their beautiful gallery from July 10 – August 23.
Opening Reception: July 10 from 7:30-9:00pm
This gallery contains 2 photos.
I’ve not seen the show Shinique Smith:Firsthand — at LACMA through mid-July — and probably won’t make it to LA before it closes, but this work stopped me in my tracks. It feels like the convergence of old and new, random … Continue reading
