Seems like I have been waiting forever for this show to arrive. I was actually juried into this show a year and a half ago...long time. But it is finally here and the artwork is finished and delivered. My friend and photographer extraordinarie, Christine Goldbeck http://www.christinegoldbeck.com/ photographed the entire show for me...since I am not the world's best photographer. She was exceptionally patient in photographing some pieces more than once after I would make changes and more changes...grin.
The opening reception for the show is this Friday, December 4, 5-8pm at the Art Association of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. More details about the show can be seen at the AAH website: http://www.artassocofhbg.com/
My mixed media collages will be shown with three other extraordinary artist: Bevery Spitzer of Camp Hill, PA; Amy Richardson of LeRoy, IL; and Ruth Terrill of LaHonda, CA. I have met Beverly at previous events and she is a very lovely person, as well as a very talented artist. I am anxious to see the work displayed by the other two artists as well.
Here is a sampling of some art that I will be showing:
These four pieces are each 12" x 12" on gallery wrap canvas. They will be hung as a set at the show but will be sold separately. Each piece has a reproduction of large vintage floral images that are in my collection. Someone long ago decided to cut them off covers of seed catalogs and save them in a scrap book. They are actual size in the artwork. The artwork also includes vintage scraps of lace and crochet, buttons, vintage newspaper from the late 1800's, hand tinted and printed papers, rubber stamp images, and acrylic paint. I found the the lovely calligraphic font on http://www.noupe.com/fonts/45-outstanding-free-vintage-fonts.html.
