A Photo Gallery from My LASM Exhibition Trip

in , , , ,

I have a few more photos to share from my LASM exhibition and associated demos/events!  This was a fantastically fun trip, all thanks to the amazing Dr. John Pojman.

The Baton Rouge Ebb & Flow Festival

in

Dr. John Pojman and I had a demo station set up at the Ebb & Flow Festival today in Baton Rouge - a student of his joined us and we formed part of the Louisiana Art & Science Museum brigade and demonstrated the non-Newtonian fluid behavior of cornstarch plus water as well as QuickCure Clay.  We also got a chance to take in the rest of the festival, and I happened to see two friends of mine had an art booth selling their own paintings!  It was a beautiful day (I managed to get sunburnt!) and I topped it off by getting a snowcone from one of the vendors.  The festival will continue tomorrow, but our booth was a Saturday-only event.

I have a full schedule of demonstrations, lectures, and interviews for the next couple of days associated with the Polymers in Art Through the Centuries exhibition going on at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum (LASM) - the first took place earlier this evening!  An LASM public relations staff member posted livestream video to Facebook throughout the night - here's a snippet:

My collaboration with Dr. John Pojman and his company 3P (Pojman Polymer Products) has led to my exhibiting in this amazing show!  Polymers in Art Through the Centuries is a fantastically interesting exhibition held at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum (LASM) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Goppert Gallery Exhibition Photos!

Here are some images of the show!  I got sidetracked by an alumna when I was walking around photographing so I haven't taken pictures of the whole of the show yet, but that just means there's more to experience if you want to stop by - the show's up through the 15th.

Recent Art Sale at First City Photo & Frames

in ,

I recently participated in a art sale on November 11-12 in downtown Leavenworth's First City Photo & Frames.  I had a stand at this artist-run event last year as well, but this year I had even more of a selection available for sale.  The greeting cards were particularly popular!  I have plans to expand my reproduction sales to my website, so stay tuned... 

Reminder: All Things Animals! at the Boston Children's Museum

in ,

If you're in or passing through Boston this Friday, consider stopping by the Boston Children's Museum for the reception for the All Things Animals! exhibition I'm participating in (two of my paintings are on display).  The reception runs from 6-8pm on Friday, October 21st.   Here's some more info directly from the museum itself:

We hope you can join us to celebrate! Due to museum policy, we unfortunately cannot provide food and beverages at the reception. Museum admission is only $1.00 after 5:00pm on Fridays, so bring the family! Adults attending without kids, be sure to bring your IDs- as part of the museum's "Unaccompanied Adult" policy, they ask that you leave a photo ID at the Admissions desk for safety reasons while visiting.  To get to the gallery, you can take the stairs or elevator to the second floor. Once you reach the second floor, take a right and follow the hallway to the Keva exhibit. In Keva, continue right, which will lead you straight into the gallery. Here is a link to the museum’s floor plan, just in case you would prefer a visual: http://www.bostonchildrensmuseum.org/visit/floor-plan.

Here are the Spring 2016 Student Art Exhibition photos!  We invited local artist Beth Snider to be our guest judge in handing out Miller Awards, so you can see her presenting those in a couple photos.  44 students exhibited in the show (which ran from April 29 through May 5).  Classes I taught that were represented include Typography, Printmaking, Painting I & III, and Advanced Studios in Mixed Media and Tattoo Design.

Sierra Club Annual Fundraiser

in

If you're not attending the University of Saint Mary's SpireFest this Saturday, you should consider visiting the Sierra Club's 2016 Annual Fundraiser!  For the second year in a row, I've donated artwork - this year I donated an aluminum print, a matted paper print, and three packaged greeting cards - for their silent auction.  I raised $300 last year through my donation of an original drawing on panel, so I'm interested to see what the reproductions bundle will go for! 

2016 SpireFest

in

Every year, the University of Saint Mary holds an event called SpireFest which is aimed at raising money for student scholarships.  There's a silent auction, student performances and entertainment, food and drink, and even dancing.  This year, I've donated a signed, matted print and five greeting cards as an artwork bundle, so keep your fingers crossed it gets some good bids!  I'll be there for the third year in a row, so if you're interested in keeping me company, check out this flyer - but hurry, as SpireFest is this Saturday...
