Troy Night Out, Delmar
It's that time again! Troy Night out tomorrow night-- my piece, "Keeper of Secrets," depicting a lynx, will be exhibited in the Fence Select show at the Arts Center.
Then on Saturday, from 9am to 1pm, I'll be at the Delmar Farmers Market at Bethlehem Central Middle School, selling prints, cards, stickers, and original collages.
As a reminder, you can purchase my prints and cards online at Etsy.com, or at The Cheese Traveler in Albany or T and J Soaps in Troy. Or just email me.
Upcoming: First Friday in Albany (7/5), I'll have collages exhibited at The Cheese Traveler, at Mingle restaurant, and at the Upstate Artists Guild gallery on Lark Street, in their "Midsummer Night's Dream" show. Don't miss it!

Art on Lark
Don't forget Art on Lark this Saturday! There will be tons of art, music, and food vendors. I'll be there selling prints, cards and stickers! Come on out!
Also, remember 1st Friday this Friday. I've got new work up at Mingle (540 Delaware Ave) for the month. Yes, it is my work, not artwork by Nicolette Sheridan, as the 1st Friday printed maps incorrectly indicate.
Look forward to seeing you there!

The Path
My most recent piece, The Path, is a triptych, spanning three 8"x10" canvasses. It is on display for just a few more days at Stage 1 of the Albany Barn, and I recommend checking it out in person if you can.
The Path I began while I was recently in Austin, TX. Vultures and hawks are commonplace on roads and in the air, about as common as falcons and hawks are in the northeast. The interesting thing about vultures is that they are about purification, of moving through one part of the life cycle (death) into the next (birth; sustainability). The deer is about innocence, of politeness, beauty, grace. Hawk is a messenger, a protector of the air, and is associated with temperance. The gryphon, while a mythological creature, is a guardian, a conduit, on the path toward spiritual enlightenment. As the viewer moves his or her eyes from left to right across these three canvasses, he/she can read this path. It is not a death of innocence, but a movement out of -- the innocence sustains the vultures, which purify and move it forward into something else, something weightier, from land, through fire and water, and into air. The hawks watch over and protect during this transition, and the gryphon is present at the end to urge and guide, representing ultimate spiritual enlightenment, a self-awakening.
I welcome any and all thoughts on what you as a viewer may have read from this piece. Artist intention is only one part of the artistic process.

"Seeing Green: Environmentally Conscious Art" - New Exhibit
May's 1st Friday is a big one.
Just last evening I hung a show at the Stage 1 Gallery of the Albany Barn (46-48 N. Swan St., Albany). "Seeing Green: Environmentally Conscious Art" will feature seven pieces of mine, as well as works by four other artists. As you may know, all of my artwork is created from very small pieces of paper cut from celebrity gossip and fashion magazines, transforming the magazines into collages focused on the four natural elements and totem animals, that make a larger statement about how we live in our natural world and how we connect with each other. My art is dually environmentally conscious.
Three of my new pieces are on display; one is a triptych I created when I was away in Austin, TX for three weeks. The piece is called "The Path" and features five vultures, two hawks and a gryphon. Really, it's about purification, a movement away from a stage of innocence, through a self-awakening and on toward spiritual enlightenment. (A picture is below, but unfortunately it came out a bit blurry, so you'll really just have to get on out to the show.)
As I said in my last post, about fifteen of my pieces are currently on display at Mingle (540 Delaware Ave., Albany). Though I do not have new pieces there, likely there are pieces you have not seen, so I recommend getting out there, having drinks/dinner, and checking out some artwork. Support local business and local artists at the same time!
