It's 2015...

And, what a whirlwind 2014 was! As always I have been busy!

Last year my work was shown in over 25 locations. From Lexington, SC to Baltimore, MD and was featured in many shows. Proud to have been a part of so many shows and gallery events. Check out several of the flyers below.

Throughout the year I performed at art show openings and festivals. As an abstract expressionist painter I have always felt a duty to teach through example and open discourse. Thus enabling audiences a better understanding of art. My live painting performances provided a wonderful opportunity to teach intuitive painting and sound methods of Abstract Techniques at public schools throughout SC and live performances with many bands and musicians.

I love an adventure and had a wonderful time traveling and plein air painting, both on my own & with the South Carolina Artists Group.

Onomatopoetic Art Inspiring Art: Music Made Visible

Art Show & Silent Auction

Onomatopoetic is the collaboration between music composer Dr. Jesse Jones and multiple painters from the Midlands organized by Sarah Winsted of Trenholm Artists Guild.

Opening night; on Thursday September 4, 2014 at Certus Bank in Columbia, was a superb cavalcade of artistic styles and beauty. Guests were able to walked through rows of ‘for sale’ inspired works of art treated to wine and heavy hors d'oeuvres, viewed a wall sized slide show featuring each work of art with a brief description of exhibited artists, a band, silent auction and live painting.

Music was performed by band The Prairie Willows while regional artist Abstract Alexandra inspired by the band, painted a large-scale work of art. When asked ‘what she enjoyed most about the project’ Visual Artist; Abstract Alexandra stated “painting to music is akin to when one sees the color blue, pure harmony”.

This collaborative event between painters and music was took months, if not years to create. Various artists in the midlands were selected from a call-to-artists listing. Artists were provided with a copy “In Dulcet Tones”, by Dr. Jones’ with instructions to create works of art while listening to the music. The object to draw inspiration while creating paintings.

After the art show "In Dulcet Tones" made its North America premier on Sept. 28, 2014 at the University of South Carolina School of Music and performed by Dr. Rebecca Hunter (violin) and Dr. Lynn Kompass (violin).
