@nancymooreart Unconventional Women series is a tribute to the resilience of women and their ability to reinvent themselves.
.
“Fearless” and “Wellspring” featured in the Spectrum Renewal exhibit. Watercolor, wax crayon and metallic paint.
.
“Women are so often called upon to renew their inner resources in response to the many roles they play.
And, on a meta-level, the very act of painting this series during the #metoo era, the pandemic, and intense political upheaval has provided this artist with a renewed sense of purpose.”

ARTISTS: Submission deadline is May 8 at midnight.

Visit the gallery & see Sarah Blacombe’s three pieces in the Spectrum exhibit. Oil, acrylic and charcoal on canvas.
.
“A complex relationship to the environment and an interest in displacement and memory has dominated my art. Carving into a canvas of oil and acrylic, applying, removing and layering with charcoal, I explore how landscape imprints upon its inhabitants. Born in London, UK, now living in coastal Connecticut, landscape has been my singular continuity, supplying seemingly infinite, yet eroding iconography. As I distill, I narrate that cycle and renewal of seasons, color to monochrome and back again.

“Feather Light” by Adair Heitmann in the Spect

“Feather Light” by Adair Heitmann in the Spectrum Contemporary Art Show. Clay monotype with chine collé.
.
The feather is a sign of connection to nature and the divine. Feather helps me lighten up even in the midst of despair. It shows me redemption, resilience, and a connection to something far greater than me. There is a magical and mystical element to feather. It literally dropped into my world over the past two years. In my clay monotype with chine collé, the feather can be spiraling down or floating up. If it lands — it is safe on the ground. If it lifts up — it has ascended, both are right!

“The natural world inspires me. My daily practice, for more than two years, has included a meditation on time and nature consisting of daily walks to the nature center near my home. As a painter and printmaker, I find inspiration in fragments of nature held close for reflection. I employ a personal vocabulary of fluid marks and organic imagery to express the sensual pleasure and ephemeral quality of the natural world. These pieces were inspired by the very early growth of plants.”
