juried

Upcoming: People and the Planet Exhibition at Touchstone Gallery

My Aedes aegypti mosquito painting Hosts was juried into the upcoming People and the Planet exhibition at Touchstone Gallery in Washington, D.C. There is both a more selective in-person and a larger virtual gallery, and my work was accepted for both. When I applied, I thought given the show dates that I could make their mailing deadline after my return to the US, but they’d like it earlier than I expected so I had to elect to only exhibit in the virtual portion. The show will be on view from August 2-August 27, 2023!

"Functional Aesthetic" Reception Photos

The reception for my Functional Aesthetic juried group show at the Le Mars Arts Center was really nice! I met some of the other exhibiting artists, and a group of my friends attended as well - then afterwards, we went out to dinner!

Here is an exhibition advertisement and a few photos of my five pieces in the show. In both the ad and the show design, my ceramics earned center stage! I was pretty pleased about that, since this is my first professional juried exhibition of ceramics; I only began working in the discipline in 2020 so it’s fulfilling to have my work in this field be received well so quickly. I haven’t even finished editing my portfolio images of all of my newest raku ceramics, so these pictures give you a sneak peek at some of my most recent ones.

Functional Aesthetic is still up for another couple of weeks, so please check it out if you’re in the area!

Red Bluff Gallery's Vibrant Landscapes Exhibition

My chromatogram “Literal Landscapes - Whiterock Conservancy 7, Fig Ave” was accepted into the juried online group exhibition Vibrant Landscapes hosted by Red Bluff Art Gallery (which is located in Red Bluff, CA).

You can check the virtual exhibition out here! For anyone who finds that virtual exhibition format hard to use, I’ve included a screenshot of my own “wall” in the Lovely Landscapes room of the Vibrant Landscapes exhibition below.

Current Exhibition: Rhode Island Watercolor Society's Painting Through the Pandemic

I have been juried into the Rhode Island Watercolor Society's Painting Through the Pandemic national online exhibition. They had just over 500 total entries and accepted 100 of those including my newest painting Velocity! The juror for this show is Jack Haran, former president of both the North River Arts Society and New England Watercolor Society.

The show will be posted online on their Facebook page on Saturday March 6th, 2021, with a virtual opening on the 6th at 7pm via Zoom - visit the show page on their website for more information and for the link.

Second Place Overall in the 24th Arts in Harmony 2019 Annual International Show

I’m happy to share that my painting Reconnaissance won Second Place Overall in the 24th Arts in Harmony 2019 Annual International Show! Arts in Harmony is a broad juried international exhibition with no discipline restrictions or show theme. As you may have read in my previous post about the show, it will continue to be viewable at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, 1111 Mainstreet, Hopkins, MN 55343, through Sunday, February 17, 2019. There are two subsequent traveling shows as well, so we’ll see if my work is selected for either or both of those once the main show ends.

Winning this award was a particularly pleasing result because for a couple weeks I thought Reconnaissance might not have even made it to the gallery space and instead ended up in a pile of undeliverable mail somewhere! For the first time ever in many years of shipping, the UPS staff member who created my shipping labels accidentally voided the first label - sending it from my address to the show pickup location - from UPS’s system when they created the prepaid return label instead of adding the prepaid return to my account as a second label. This meant that even though there was a shipping label on the box, UPS itself had no tracking ability or even any documentation at all that I had shipped a box with them, and scanners wouldn’t register system information about that label either. Luckily, the workers who handled my box’s transit must have relied on the good old-fashioned paper label with addresses in order to get it to its destination, because it clearly arrived on schedule!

Upcoming Exhibition: The 24th Arts in Harmony 2019 Annual International Show

My artwork Reconnaissance has been juried into The 24th Arts in Harmony 2019 Annual International Show! The main show will be at Hopkins Center for the Arts, 1111 Mainstreet, Hopkins, MN 55343, with show dates of Thursday, January 10 – Sunday, February 17, 2019.

There are awards and two subsequent traveling shows as well, so we’ll see if my work is selected for any of those too!

So if you happen to be on or near Penn's campus from May 11-25, you should stop in to the Burrison Gallery to check them out.

From their website: The Gallery, located in the University Club at Penn on the 2nd floor of The Inn at Penn, 3611 Walnut Street, is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
