    Showing. Charlotte & Sacramento!

    Hiya! I have a couple more shows opening this month to tell you about, just in case you missed them on my social media feeds.

    SHELTER, a mixed media, group art exhibition featuring new works from Janet Eskridge, Kim Ferreira, Lesley Frenz and Duy Huynh. We explore various themes of ‘shelter’,  from man-made and naturally occurring structures that nurture and protect, to symbolic spaces that offer emotional respite and refuge.

    Also, a bunch of new work is coming to J. Rinehart Gallery in Seattle next month! I am super pleased to be joining the roster of artists in this new Pioneer Square gallery and happy to add a retail gallery to my Seattle representation!

    Stay tuned for more on that new round of work– it’s an exciting bunch!

  • What Dreams May Come: Duy Huynh

    What Dreams May Come: Duy Huynh

    Welcome to 2012!  As much as I love the sparkles and coziness of the holidays, with a new year comes time for thoughtful reflection on what was, along with plans and hopes for what is to come.  To kick off the year, the work of Charlotte, NC artist Duy Huynh ( pronounced yee wun ) is just the right combination of quiet contemplation and dreaminess to fit the mood of a new beginning.

    Metamorphosis of a Metaphor, acrylic on wood, 40×40

    Duy Huynh is no stranger to new beginnings, having come to the U.S. from his native Vietnam in the early 80s.  Finding himself immersed in a completely new world and language, he learned to use art to make connections.

    He continues to engage through his work by using symbols such as butterflies, boats, pianos, etc to create narratives just enigmatic enough to allow the viewer to imagine their own visual tale.

    The Organ Donor, acrylic on ceramic tile, 16×16

    His work is beautiful in its ethereal simplicity, like the small coo of a dove or the drifting of a feather on the wind.  This is an artist who works with a gentle, light hand and the results are peaceful and reflective painted stories.

    Boundlessness in Bloom, acrylic on canvas, 36×36

    I hope the coming year will be a time when you paint your own story.  Make this year exactly what you want it to be.
