Beth's Ponderings
2022 has certainly
been quite the year for me so far.
I was invited to
exhibit at the Donalda Gallery for the Arts July19 - August 2, 2022. The Gallery hours
are 10 - 5 pm daily (note: if the door is locked, go to the museum across the street
and they will let you in to view the artwork).
It is hard to
believe that this is my second solo exhibition this year (in my life!) as I
never imagined that I’d ever have artwork of mine in an actual gallery.
My exhibition is
entitled: Exploring My Artistic Voice: a journey without a map and my selection
follows my journey from my very first (acrylic) painting, through various
artistic explorations including:
• baskets out of
old newspapers
• a sample of food (patterns
used from “Tasty Crochet” by Rose Langlitz and “Yummi’Gurumi” by Christen Haden
& Mariarosa Sala)
• acrylic
paintings based on whimsical drawings
• a simple daily-panel
cartoon strip in ball point pen in handmade folded books
• card decks I
produced digitally - including the font
• printed
canvases showcasing a selection of my many sky drawings - produced on the ipad – as well as
printed canvases of recent watercolour play explorations
• archetype
dolls in crochet
• and more ;)
Most items will be
available for purchase.
I will be at the gallery both weekends for a meet & greet -
not sure of times yet so check https://www.facebook.com/donaldaartgallery to find out
more details.
I hope you are able to view the exhibition, and I look forward to seeing you there.
