Adelman Fine Art

Cheyenne Bottomns found it's home. This painting has been off market for awhile, It wasn't ready but when the buyer came forward, it couldn't have been a better fit. It looks as though it were made for her space. Not only do the colors compliment her interior environment, they reflect the ocean she can view from her downtown balcony and living room, where the painting resides. Thank you Adelman Fine Art and the Adelman Women who tirelessly work to set up art lovers with art and artists with those who love their works.

Two wonderful works of art have left California, Jur's Woods went to Ketchum Idaho and Looking Up now resides in New York City. Both these paintings went to a wonderful collector. I am so honored to have my works a part of his world. Both of these works sold through Mitchel Contemporary in Idaho. Thank you Tim Mitchell for the support you have shown me for the past 6 years, in Palm Springs and Ketchum Idaho  

Twenty Women Artists May 2021

              Twenty Women Artists

Pictured at the Oceanside Museum of Art for our exhibit, NOW

I have been in the collective of women artists for the past 5 years. We are ethnically and age diverse, yet our strong commitment to powerful art, makes us quite a cohesive group. Our monthly meetings help keep us in tune with current and historical events; and allows for a sharing of our personal struggles and triumphs. Comradery, information and encouragement for a population who frequently work in isolation.   

We have written and presented programs and exhibited together at: the Canon in 2018, 17 on Being Seventeen, Fresh Paint Gallery in 2020, 20/20 Twenty Women of Vision, and the Oceanside Museum of Art in 2021, NOW exhibit.

 Social commentary. I believe it's the artist's obligation to interpret the social, natural, personal and political environment and interpret her impression through her medium. It's easy to see  my point of view from my paintings, however, instead of turning off others with a dissimilar view, I hope it opens the door to introspection and conversation. We are one nation, and we need to work together to make it more equitable, and safe for all our people.

The art clothing is really well presented on this beautiful model.

Rip Tide

                                      Rip Tide120"x24" mixed media 2020

From the small collage came the 10 foot works. This one, Under Tow , was my first attempt. This one did not get placed on exhibit, as a matter of fact, I tore it off the canvas. At the time, I felt it inappropriate to appropriate someone else's story, certainly without showing the causation. This work shows the devastation, but not causation. I wish I had saved it, it was very powerful and as an ally, I have a voice and an obligation but I do feel, there needs to be more to the story.

The first collage for the exhibit, shows doctors and nurses working diligently over patients ad infinitum while many of the public, in lock down, were still secretly getting together for parties and gatherings.

Storm July 2020

 

Storm 24x48" thrown and splattered paint on canvas 2020

Another from the black and white series. At this time, the artist collective I belong to in San Diego, was preparing for an exhibit at the Oceanside Museum of Art. It had been in the works for 2 years (total). I was still confused as to what I would exhibit. The title of the museum exhibit is, NOW. I was intending, like  most of the artists, to express where I was as a female artist at this time in my life. Instead, 2020 had a different idea. It seemed trite to continue in the vein I was working, while all the world appeared to be collapsing around us. After working with the black and white paintings, and collaging my way through some of the darkest days, I was gently directed , by the museum curator, to incorporate the two.

Milky Way June 2020

 

        Milky Way   24x48" thrown paint on canvas   2020

Once again in an attempt to discover and interpret our place in the scheme of things. We are there somewhere. It also looks a lot like the amount of covid germs expelled during a cough. Frightening times.

Looking Into the Sun April 2020

                 Looking Into The Sun  48x30" thrown and splattered paint on canvas 2020

Looking into the sun is part of a collection of paintings from 2020, many black and white, when we were all locked down, within our walls, our minds and our hearts. It was a fearful and isolating time. Many artists diverted paths at this time, to try and interpret what was happening through their art works. I was one of them.

Sophie's World August 2020

              Sophie's World  30x48"  thrown and splattered paint on canvas 2020

Sophie's World was commissioned for my youngest client. She hadn't appeared yet, when her parents asked for a painting, for her. Sophie is now here, and this painting is hung above her changing table, where I understand it gives her great contemplation. This one really warms my heart.

The Flames We Throw is part of a TWA Exhibit at the Fresh Paint Gallery in La Jolla.

TWA  stands for Twenty Women Artists (of San Diego). I am very fortunate to belong to this collective of diverse, strong and talented women. This exhibit was titled 20/20, Twenty Women of Vision and focused on our interpretation as female artists. Unfortunately, opening night was the last night of freedom from Covid, and the gallery, and life, shut down promptly afterward. I was fortunate that my painting had been seen by a collector, and was purchased soon after.
