This December : Solo Show

Observed and Recorded Permutation of The Holy Spirit XI

(36 inches x 81 inches-pastel and powdered graphite erasing on dura-lar)

When I lived on the West Coast, life as an artist was very different. I had an agent that would connect me with galleries, museums and arts institutions. She was amazing. We got along very well, it was like having an older, wiser sister in charge of my career. When I moved to the South East, everything changed. For the past 3.5 years, just like everyone else, I had to hit the pavement, make connections, in search of shows.

I am happy to announce that just a few weeks ago I signed a contract with a gallery in Atlanta, Poem88.net. For the first time in my career, I will be represented by a commercial gallery. This is the thing that most artists covet and it came just when I wasn’t looking. I received an email from Robin Bernat, Gallerist, starting this process. As a result, I am having my first solo show in Atlanta, Georgia titled:

An idiosyncratic path toward…

El Show

/

El Show was the first Latin American Contemporary, Pop Up Show in Atlanta in recent years. Esteban Patino, Colombian born, Artist and Curator, was the mastermind behind this exhibition. Esteban gathered 8 Atlanta local artists. I was very fortunate to be invited, I had just met him a few weeks prior. Luckily, he enjoyed my erasings after visiting my studio and included them in the show.

Esteban Patino states, “A small , yet important show. El Show, a group exhibition at Open Space, is a survey of contemporary work by Latin American Artists living in Atlanta. Participating artists include Anjie Jerez, Carla Contreras, Karen Lamassonne, Lucha Rodriquez, María Korol, Pamela Diaz Martinez, Ignacio Michaud, Rolando Vasquez, and Esteban Patino and will include video, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and installation."

If you weren’t able to attend, hopefully there will be more shows like this in the near future.

Monster Drawing Rally

Every two years or so, The High Museum of Art hosts the Monster Drawing Rally. Approximately, 75 artists are asked to participate.

There are 3 - 1 hour shifts, the artists choose the shift they want to draw in. The artist can make as much art as they wish and then it is given for sale to raise funds for the museum.

All works of art are $75. Its a great way to start a collection on a budget.

My Process •

Steps 1-7 featured in the pictures here occurred 5 times in 50 minutes •

My friends that were watching said my hands were shaking due to nerves for the first 4 minutes • Then, they visibly witnessed me get into a groove •

Thanks to all of the people who purchased my pieces, support artists and came to the event.
