If you could give voice to anything, what would it be? If anything were possible, what would you give voice to? How would you do it? What do you wish was possible, and how would you bring voice to that? In the fast paced life we live in often people feel unheard.
I have 4 works in this group exhibition that artistically addresses these questions through poetry and art. Join us for the opening reception!
This exhibition will be on view through June 29th.

Inliquid Art and Design is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) membership organization dedicated to providing opportunities and exposure for visual artists and designers, serving as a free public hub for arts information and resources, and making the visual arts more accessible to a broader audience through a continuing series of community-based art exhibitions and programs. The organization is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This past Feburary, I participated in their Annual Fundraiser entitled inliquid benefit v. 12, which included a juried art auction (jurors this year inluded Julien Robson, Curator of Contemporary Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Annabelle Rodríguez-Lawton, Founding Director of ~ The curARTorial LAB and Buy Shaver, artist). Two of my origninal works, Inflight and Celebrate were selected for the fundraiser, which occurred during several events that began on February 10, 2012. Check out the photos from the events here.
Good news….Inflightsold….bad news….Celebrate did not! But Inliquid is expanding the opportunity for unsold works by offering an online option for collectors. Check out all the artwork, including Celebrate at this link. The online auction is on view for purchase until March 16, 2012.
During the Open Studio event on December 4, 2011, I did a series of videos of my fellow artists to give the public a peak into the kind of artwork that we do at Passageways Artists Studios. During the next few weeks, I will be posting a video of one of the artists so you can learn more about them and their specific mediums.
About Passageways Artists Studios:
Passageways came together in 1991 when a group of local artists found a large open space for rent in conveniently located Riverdale Park, Maryland. The artists rolled up their collective sleeves and constructed ten airy studios – learning to make drywall partitions, and other construction tasks. Four of the early members are still active in Passageways.
Passageways functions as a cooperative, providing: a congenial working environment for creative artists; an opportunity to interact, collaborate, and learn from colleagues; and an opportunity to show work with other members of the group. The various members work in painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, stained-glass, sculpture, tapestry, quilting and fiber arts – wherever the muse directs.
We host an open-studio event twice a year – in the spring and in the fall. We heartily invite you to come to the open-studio to see the latest work of our artists, and chat with them about art, while enjoying light refreshments.

This week’s featured Passageways Artist is George Tuggle. Enjoy!
