On Exhibit: Bird Grrrls at Vitrine Gallery

Hi Folks! And hello, 2024! I’ve been busy creating new art, spending lots of time making messes, and creating in the studio. It’s amazing what a deadline can do. (Sometimes. Why do I feel I need a caveat here?).

A series of my new large-format screen prints on fabric, plus several new paintings and prints, will be displayed at Vitrine Gallery in Winston Salem, NC, for March and April. I’d love it if you came by and said hi during one of the two meet-the-artist receptions this March. And if you can’t swing that, the gallery is viewable from the street 24/7, so you can walk up and check it out any time you like.

For my non-local types, I will have more photos to share soon. Scroll for a few works-in-progress photos, detail shots, and if you’re curious, here’s a short video slideshow of building the layers for one of my large format prints: Surviving the Year of the Tiger Studies: #1.

Thanks, and take care of each other out there.
❤ Woodie

Poster Street Art exhibit in DT W-S

Check out A/perture Cinema turning their movie poster space into a street-art exhibit for our community curated by SECCA! Proud to be among the talented artists creating work for this project.

Check out instagram for process shots from my poster. Visit the exhibition on a Spring walk through downtown Winston (practicing safe social distancing), and see all the artists and their work at aperturecinema.com. Thanks to everyone who worked to pull this together. May it bring brightness to a strange time in our community life.

If, like me, you’re leaning on art right now to get you through, remember to support the people who create it and places who bring it to you. We’re vulnerable right now. Be well and take care of each other.

love,
Woodie

On Exhibit: 100 in 2020

I’m honored to be one of 29 artists participating in this juried exhibit celebrating women and voting rights.

100 in 2020: Musings on Women & Voting Rights
Opening Reception will be: Fri, Feb 14, 5:30-7:00 pm
On exhibit: Feb 10 – April 25, 2020
Salem College Elbertson Fine Arts Center, 
Winston-Salem, NC

The artwork in this exhibition generally falls into three categories: Activism, Celebration of Women’s Achievements, and Quiet Portrayals of women doing ordinary things. Some of the works were created specifically for this show and other pieces are part of an artist’s larger body of work created over several years. Each piece accepted into the exhibit represents a feeling or an idea about women: their strength, their resilience, and their quiet resolve. It is very moving. 

The League of Women Voters will have a table at the Reception with information about upcoming elections. Attendees will also be able to register to vote. I hope to see you there!

Intersections + Transformations Exhibition Opening

Every year for six years, ANWS has hosted an annual exhibition of visual art that inspires us. In the past, we have explored local emerging artists, the art that inspires local artists we know well, work from emerging artists throughout North Carolina, and most recently in 2016, exciting work by installations artists in North Carolina. This year, we return to work created closer to home featuring local artists some we have featured before and some entirely new to us and, we hope, to you.

Please join us in celebrating the following talented locals at our opening reception on Friday, October 13th. The exhibition will be up through November 7th.
