Oceanside Museum of Art NOW March 13 through Aug. 1 2021

NOW   

An exhibit that highlights the perspective of Twenty Women Artist to the political and social atmosphere of 2020. TWA proposed the exhibit in 2018, unbeknownst to them that 2020 would be a year of radical change. The commentary went from our personal lives as female artists to illuminators of our country and world's challenges. 

My work highlights the plight of  marginalized people, the January insurrection and climate change as it pertains to wildfires.

This exhibit was such a strong showing of women artist examining and translating through art,  the world in the crisis of 2020.

Two paintings sold recently at the open studio event at the, Rebecca Molayem Gallery in Los Angeles. Both clients were people who appreciate and relate to my work and what it is I am trying to discuss, both with technique and style. I say discuss because I have a certain intention when making my work, once it's viewed however, the viewer has his own interpretation and intention. It is a back and forth conversation with the painter, the work and the viewer. 

Rebecca Molayem Gallery has represented me since 2017

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.

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.
