Weekly Update

I am getting more done in the world of paperwork than the world of sculpture this week, because of much needed resting (but when sitting still I have an innate need to do something so hence all the paperwork…like deep diving our finances and budgeting in addition to the depths of my email.) Below are the usual updates and a beautiful scene from my studio early this morning.

Current Exhibitions

As Above, So Below at Arch Enemy Arts is up through this Sunday, September 18th.

Spectrum 3, also at Arch Enemy Arts, opened last Friday, September 9th, with an opening reception on First Friday, October 7th. I am happy to report that my piece Bluebird of happiness… (Hold it all in) has sold!

I do still have a sculpture (The Alchemist (2021) which is really a favorite of mine) available from Spectrum 2.

The Alchemist, 2021

Upcoming Exhibitions

Paul and I have both started prepping for our show in Nov 2023. I am casting and sculpting and testing. He is buying and gessoing panels and thinking about frames. It’s always exciting to see how different our processes are, but how similar at times. At this point, it is really wonderful to gather images and ideas and throw them out there to see how they change and develop.

Upcoming Workshops

There are only a few spaces left in my upcoming Animal Sculpture Workshop at Union Hall Arts in Atlantic City, NJ!

Work in Progress

I am not making much this week, but rather taking a much needed rest. Though I am still casting bird heads, now just one a day, which is nice.

Upcoming Miscellany

Sale of available work // November 1st, 2022

Sip & Sketch at the Wagner Free Institute of Science // December 8th, 2022

Weekly Update

Back to School! We dropped Olivia off to school today (7th grade!) and later today I’ll start my semester teaching at PAFA. I teach Foundations Experience, a class for first year students where we dive in to the resources at PAFA in the first semester and resources in Philadelphia during the second semester. It’s a class I’ve been teaching since it started and I may have said this before, but I try to make it the class that covers everything I wish I learned in school about the Art world.

Current Exhibitions

As Above, So Below at Arch Enemy Arts is in its last week, so if you are able to see it, be sure to get there before the 18th!

Upcoming Exhibitions

Here’s the full sneak peek for Spectrum 3, also at Arch Enemy Arts, and this show opens this Friday, September 9th, with an opening reception on First Friday in October. To request the preview for the show email Lawren at INFO@ARCHENEMYARTS.COM

Paul and I are continuing to talk about thoughts and ideas for our solo show in 2023. Expect more on that as we head into the end of this year.

Upcoming Workshops

There are only a few spaces left in my upcoming Animal Sculpture Workshop at Union Hall Arts in Atlantic City, NJ! Tomorrow I’ll talk more about the specifics of what will be covered so stay tuned.

Work in Progress

Most of my in progress works have been packing related. I did finish up the last of my Tangle sculptures this week and am looking forward to starting new work. I suppose Eddie Bunson is still lurking around, so I’ll finish him too. (It’s silly how much that little sculpture makes me laugh.)

Upcoming Miscellany

I’ll be planning a sale of available work for late October or early November, in advance of the holiday season. I’ll be sure to share it here first.

That’s all for now!

Weekly Update

As I try to squeeze the last bits out of this Summer by running around with Olivia, I am also looking forward to the Fall. The change of weather is of course most exciting but the change of pace is helpful too. I always do better when there is some structure to my days and the Fall schedule always seems to snap things back into place. (Mom guilt looms when it’s a perfectly nice Summer day that I had planned to spend working on the house or in the studio and Olivia asks “What are we doing today?”… so my days are more unpredictable right now because having fun is also important.)

As I mentioned, I’ll be teaching less this Fall, only having taken on one class at PAFA and workshops. I’m hoping to use this time to plan for the future and finish up some things around here.

Current Exhibitions

I’m happy to say that my sculpture, Am I flying? // Am I falling?, that is featured in As Above, So Below at Arch Enemy Arts sold! There is some really beautiful work in this exhibition, but my favorites are:

Upcoming Exhibitions

I’m working on a piece for Spectrum 3, also at Arch Enemy Arts, and this show opens in September with an opening reception on First Friday in October.

Paul and I are also both in the planning stages for our solo show in 2023, so there that has been discussions and the beginnings of ideas.

Upcoming Workshops

There are only 3 spaces left in my upcoming Animal Sculpture Workshop at Union Hall Arts in Atlantic City, NJ! I am so excited for this workshop. It’s going to be a really packed two days, full of information and sculpting (my favorite things.) I’ll also be making a sculpture tool for each participant and we’ll talk about things like moldmaking vs. firing clay work, composition and making narrative work using symbolism.

Work in Progress

I’ve started a sculpture but in the chaos of redoing the studio, it’s dried out! So it looks like I’ll be starting again.

I also have a much neglected Eddie Bunson left on my table that I should finish for miss Olivia.

Upcoming Miscellany

Back to School Seconds Sale is scheduled for September 1st! I’ll photograph the sculpture this week for a sneak peek so stay tuned!

Weekly Update

As we head full speed back into the upcoming school year, I am trying to get back online with consistency in my life and in my studio (as much as is possible.) I’ve shifted my schedule dramatically and will only be teaching minimally this semester in order to give myself a chance to sort out some things. Keep an eye here for upcoming shows, sales, bodies of work, etc.

Current Exhibitions

As Above, So Below 4 opens this Friday, August 19th at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia, PA . Paul and I both have works in the show and each piece is meant to work both right side up and upside down. Here is a preview of my piece Am I flying? // Am I falling?

Upcoming Exhibitions

Next month will be Spectrum, also at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia, PA. I’ve chosen the color blue this time so stay tuned.

Upcoming Classes

I’m very excited about the upcoming Animal Sculpture Workshop at Union Hall Arts in Atlantic City, NJ. The space is run by my friend Jim Dessicino and is really wonderful. Because I’ve dialed back my teaching so much, this is one of only two animal sculpture classes that I’ll be teaching in 2022 (and the only one on this coast!).

Work in Progress

Right now it’s really just my studio that is in progress, though I am finishing up the very last of my ‘Tangle’ casts and getting ready to start 2 new bodies of work for solos in 2023!

Upcoming Miscellany
Back to School Seconds Sale coming soon… September 1st, 2022

I’ll list the remainder of any “seconds” I have (sculptures that did not make the cut for one reason or another that are offered at a lower price than normal.)
