HOPE CHEST: emerging women artists



HOPE CHEST
: a young woman's accumulation of clothes and domestic furnishings (as silver and linen) kept in anticipation of her marriage; also : a chest for such an accumulation


Join us for a special event featuring artwork by DC/Baltimore artists Mariah Anne Johnson, Becca Kallem, Chandi Kelley, Michelle McAuliffe, Erin Murray, Elle Perez, Katherine Sifers, and Dafna Steinberg. These emerging artists challenge and reinvent tradition, romance, gender roles/expectations, and sexuality. Their work also investigates what we keep, save, and treasure in contrast to what is discarded. Photography, installations, mixed media work, and paintings present the domestic, nostalgic, and personal in new contexts.

September 15, 2011, 6-9 pm
@ GreenHouse 11
1123 11th St NW
Washington, DC
work on view September 15 - November 15 by appointment
**another special event will be held on September 24 to coincide with Shaw's NUIT BLANCHE Art All Night and the (e)merge art fair.**

HOPE CHEST is curated by Becca Kallem and hosted by Michael Schaeffer and Taurus Development Group. GreenHouse 11 is a unique new work space designed to grow small businesses and non-profits. Limited space is available.

Little Invented Landscapes













To get revved and going at the Vermont Studio Center, I did a bunch of little invented landscapes (abou 4 x 6 inches on panel). I'm doing some larger, more sustained work here, but these are just for fun...

VSC Studio Shots
















What a great studio I have the honor of using all this month at the Vermont Studio Center. Here are some pics!
