2022 NEW JERSEY ARTS ANNUAL: REEMERGENCE EXHIBITION.
Exhibition Preview Reception, Thursday, June 16, 2022 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm (if COVID conditions allow)
Exhibition On View, Saturday, June 18, 2022 - Sunday, April 30, 2023

At the start of 2022, the world remains devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic, political and ideological polarization continues to divide Americans, and our collective reckoning with systemic racism remains critical to achieving the country’s promise. Artists, like most New Jerseyans, are taking steps to reemerge into an altered landscape. How has this change landscape manifested itself in artists’ practice? Do the works reflect hope, despair, resignation, something else? Have artists altered their style, worked with new materials, embraced technology? How has isolation and tentative reemergence been reflected in the works created during this period? Four hundred artists submitted 2,021 works for juror review. The jurors had a difficult task as there was such extraordinary work from which to choose, coupled with the normal limitations of the exhibition space.

BLACK & WHITE TO MAGNIFICENT COLOR
March 13 - April 9, 2022
Two years of the Covid pandemic has left us feeling like we are living through an endless winter where our eyes are tired of the long nights and empty trees.

The intention of this exhibition is to bring back the hope and excitement, that this dark period is almost over, and soon we’ll be surrounded by the magnificent colors of art and life again.

Come and see my installation of portraits, also a number of sculptures. I had fun curating this exhibit with Carol Black-Lemon.
Four women artists, two working in fiber and two in paint, come together in this eclectic exhibit that celebrates life and the threads that connect us. The viewer is presented with a novel way of looking at our world and is given a new realization of the beauty in everyday encounters, experiences, and objects. An emotional connection and strength runs through the work; there is an awareness for detail, the use of color, light and shadow, for rhythm and for human emotion. The ordinary becomes extraordinary; the viewer is inspired to look at the surroundings with wonder and appreciation for the small things, all the more apt due to the challenging times we are living through.

Reception: Saturday, August 7, 2021: 3pm - 7pm

In 1964, Jasper Johns wrote himself a note: “Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.” Since then, this set of instructions has referred to artwork that uses everyday objects and other non-fine art materials and describes the revolutionary approaches to art-making that developed from the early 20th century to the late 1950’s,1960’s, and beyond.
For this exhibit, artists were invited to submit work in any medium and in any genre including abstract. However, an object must be used as the primary subject and inspiration of the work.

Denim, with all its symbols and dualities, is a common item of clothing that unites many around the globe. Dad Jeans, skinny jeans, low riders, bell bottoms, boot leg, wide leg, no leg, 501s, 504s, button fly, stretch jeans, the American dress code writ large across centuries. With so many styles available and ways to accessorize/manipulate the fabric, denim has historically allowed for a freedom of expression representing both individuality and shifts in cultural movements. Denim comes in a wide range of blues and other colors, washes, fades and textures making it a perfect, but not obvious, medium to create fine artwork. Denim that was discarded can open up a new way of looking, a startling way of seeing past the everyday. What we have abandoned, will be presented again, re-purposed from the lives we lived, to moments we experience together “forever in blue jeans.”
Monmouth University’s Center for the Arts is pleased to present The Fine Art of Denim, a juried exhibition of artists who use recycled denim in new and creative ways. The works featured in this exhibit come from artists all over the United States and abroad.
Pieces were selected from almost 100 entries by juror Vincent DiMattio, an accomplished artist and Monmouth University Professor in the Department of Art and Design, where he has taught for over 50 years and served as department chair and as gallery director for more than 20 years.
Exhibiting Artists include: Michele Fandel Bonner, Howard Brandenburg*, Kerstin Bruchhaeuser, Emily Budd*, Don Coulter, Allison Dent, Debra Disman, Heidi Drahota, Shelley Gardner, George Gianakopoulos, Sabine Heinlein, Malka Kutnick, Tanya Lucadamo, Bob Mosier, Johanna Norry, Janice Patrignani, Leah Poller, Mary Schwarzenberger, Ashley Thomas, Ann Vollum, Shirley Wagner

I was excited to have an installation of my knotted and soft sculptures in this exhibit which drew a lot of press coverage. The exhibit was curated by Carol Black-Lemon, vice-chair of the West Orange Arts Council at the West Orange Arts Center (WOAC) at 551 Valley Road. She was excited to create this exhibit because she believed that everyone needed something "different, whimsical, silly, thought provoking and inspiring" to get through the monotony of being quarantined at home.
The exhibition can be seen virtually.
