2010 Artist in Residence Exhibition

So... I want to finally share some images of the 2010 Artist in Residence Exhibition. Jill Greene, Arrowmont's in-house photographer captured the exhibition and the opening reception for us, and we are so lucky for that! Check out what the Thaddeus Erdahl, Martina Lantin, Kent Perdue and myself were able to accomplish in our eleven months spent in Gatlinburg, Tennessee as resident artists:

Two of our most favorite people on campus- Darren and Maxine!

Hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of what we worked on. I'll be adding more images to my flickr and crafthaus pages soon! Time is ticking here in East Tennessee, we will be parting ways this weekend... it seems like only a short time ago that we were all meeting each other for the first time on campus at Arrowmont. Next post: where are we headed?

Resident Open Studio

Our days are coming to an end here at Arrowmont, so the residents got together to throw an Open Studio one last time. It was an all day affair, to make sure we could visit with as many people as possible. We grilled, had a fire in the pit, ate good food and laughed. It was awesome to see old students, Arrowmont staff and Board members, and friends.

This is my studio- and some new work...

An Arrowmont family photo- with Bill Griffith, the Assistant Director here at Arrowmont.... and Zoe- Bill's dog, our mascot! It was a great day. Thanks for coming to visit everybody!

Soon I want to share our resident exhibition with you all. I posted a video Kent made a while back, but I'd like to show photos of the exhibition, and share some of my new work, and where I'm headed next.

Two weeks to go here in the Smoky's, time to get busy art making and trail blazin'!

2010 Artist in Residence Exhibition

Kent Perdue has been busy.... check out the video he made of our exhibition!

It shows a little from each of us. I'll be posting pictures of the exhibition soon. Things have been a little hectic for me, I've been running around the south visiting places and showing work. I can't wait to share a bit of what I've been doing very soon! Until then, please enjoy the show!

In the works...

This week the residents here at Arrowmont have been preparing for our exhibition- to showcase the work we have created during our time here. The exhibition opens Friday... so you can guess that we are working hard and around the clock to make sure everything is done- well done! Each day the space is drastically changing. It is neat to see how well our work fits together, and I am excited to share images of the show with everyone very shortly!
