Occupation:Artist







The exhibit "Occupation:Artist" opened last Friday at the Elizabeth Stone Harper Gallery, Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina. Barb Rehg, president of the Women' Caucus for Art of Georgia and Ann Stoddard, College Curator installed the exhibit juried by Lisa Alembik, director of the Dalton Gallery at Agnes Scott College. Thanks! Only a three hour drive from Atlanta, it's an exhibit worth the trip. It will close on February 21st. Hope you get a chance to see it.

As you can see from the photos it's a beautiful gallery. The work was diverse and enjoyed by quite a few students at the school who attended the opening reception. Several artist including Flora Rosefsky and Gerry Sattele gave artist talks. I always enjoy hearing directly from the artist information about their process.

January Art Share Visuals





Following up on Gerry's post, it was a good night for sharing art. I enjoyed seeing the artwork and talking about artmaking. The art share provides a great opportunity for talking about your art and receiving positive feedback. I always learn something.
  • Rebekah Berger shared her paintings and drawings
  • New member Lisa Duncan talked about her new series of figure paintings
  • Maggie Davis showed the works on paper she started at the Hambidge Center
  • Loretta Paraguassu displayed her new large watercolor and ink painting
  • Yosafa Deutsch introduced her large scale work through computer imaging.

Jan. 20 Art Share note

Last night's "art share" at Helen's studio was a lovely, intimate experience. Everyone eager to share their work and their observations, with appreciation and intelligence, with the collected women artists. Please let's communicate with one another again while discussing another woman artist at Yosafa's home, Feb. 2nd, for "book club".
