Compendium Show

My real-lifing is lagging behind in the online world. Two Fridays ago I went to the Compendium Show opening in Woodstock. It was a pleasant drive, even if a bit long, and I had fun visiting with fellow FUSEDChicago Artists. Here are some snapshots. Compendium artists include: Dan Addington, Carrie Baxter, Helen Dannelly, VA DePintor, Linda […]

This month my work is on exhibit in Woodstock. The FUSEDChicago group is having a group show, along with the Illinois Clayworks Guild. I believe 40 pieces are on display, and I am excited to see what the members submitted. COMPENDIUM: a collection of information about a subject. The show takes place October 2, 2018 […]

Black History Education at the Cultural Center

Last week I commuted downtown and decided to stroll over to the Chicago Cultural Center. First, Angel and I passed the Monument with Standing Beast by Jean Dubuffet. I walked in on a prototype of the story chair from the Conrad Sulzer Regional Library, which apparently doubles as a table and turns into a throne as […]

Final Week of the Abstract Show

On Friday the Brickton Art Center had its exhibit opening for their fourth annual Abstract Show. Several FUSEDChicago artists were represented, so it was also a fun gathering of friends. Curated by Ahavani Mullen, the show had a variety of media represented. The show runs through July 29. The art center is located at 306 […]

The Abstract Show

Abstract hard is a contentious topic, and I don’t quite understand it all the time. Nonetheless, I found myself submitting my Hexaptych to the Abstract 4 Show juried by Ahavani Mullen. One of my pieces, Infinity, was accepted into the show. I’ll be among familiar FUSEDChicago artists, including Carol Hamilton, Rebecca Stahr, Carol L. Meyers, […]

Hanging my 2-person Show

It’s been a fun few months preparing for Friday’s Show Opening. After creating all the substrates and bending the shapes to go on top of the pieces I had to attach the hanging hardware before fusing everything together. Then I fused the wire to the encaustic backgrounds and did the hanging test to make sure […]

NEW at Good Dog, Better Art

We will gather at Sidetracked Studio, a brand-new Evanston-based gallery co-owned by artists Lauren Levato Coyne and Rory Coyne in partnership with collector Michele Mahon Jahelka. Good Dog, Better Art is a Group Exhibition to Benefit Trio Animal Foundation, featuring the work […]

EXPOSURE

Thursday was a gorgeous day to spend at Navy Pier.  The overcast skies had made way for sunshine and the Chicago skyline was picture perfect. I was a bit torn about having to spend the afternoon inside setting up for the big event, but happy so many people were celebrating a tentative Spring on the […]

Textual Encounters Exhibit

This is the final week to see Textual Encounters. We had a lovely opening night on March 6, and I hope the gallery got lots of foot traffic this month. Encaustic collages with wire by Maike’s Marvels Textual Encounters focuses on incorporating text into encaustic work. Elyse Martin and VA de Pintor The FUSEDChicago group […]

Inspiration from Amy Lee Segami

“When you have a deep, deep passion in you heart and in your bones and in your soul, it never goes away. It just isn’t time yet.” ~ Amy Lee Segami On a snowy day this February my friend coaxed me out of the house to go visit an exhibit at the Evanston Public Library. […]
