NEW!! Online Studio Sales Page

I am pleased to be able to offer my paintings now online through PayPal!
I have created a new blog page called "Online Studio Sale" which can be accessed in the link that appears in the upper right of this blog.

This page will feature a seasonal selection of studio inventory at clearance prices (plus shipping) with an easy check out process through PayPal.

For my first Spring Sale Specials I am offering the last 4 pieces available in the Inherent Divinity Series which were painted in 2009/10.
This series explores humanity's divinity and the expansion of consciousness.

These pieces are mixed media archival paintings on paper. The paper has been sealed on both sides and they are set into a reverse cradle board which is painted black for display. These pieces would transfer easily into a frame and put behind glass or stay as is.  The paper is sealed with acrylic varnish and can be gently wiped with a damp cloth when dusting is needed.

April Studio Notes

 

 

 

It has been a busy month!

 

These 3 paintings found new homes. One went to Brooklyn, NY and the other two went locally to Greenfield, MA.

Rewards update:

I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!
I still have some coasters to finish, and I am painting the last round of about 12 or so  5x7 mixed media paintings now.  I will soon move onto the 8x10’s and then the 3 eye portraits.  

I am happy to have gotten such positive feedback from those of you who have received your rewards.  It means the world to me to have had your support!

Show news:

This fall, I will be showing a few paintings with the D. Fleiss East West Artist Foundation at the Municipal Museum of Art Satu- Mare, Romania. The paintings will be incorporated into the museum’s permanent collection at the close of the exhibition.

 

The Omnia Scroll Collaboration and Exhibition III, Curated by Penelope Oakley, will also be on display for the month of May at the Brighton Jubilee Library Gallery in the United Kingdom.

 

 

Xerox Transfer Workshop News:
The date for this workshop is being worked out with the venue this week. I will announce the details soon.

I have had lots of interest for only a 10 to 12 person workshop.
The Cultural Council which is sponsoring the workshop has informed me of its guidelines of participation.  Leyden Residents will receive priority with second priority given to Franklin County Residents.

For those of you that are out of the area who were interested in this workshop please consider hosting me.  I would be happy to give this workshop in other locations.

Spring Renewal

As you can see my blog has a new and improved look!  One of my "spring" projects has been to update the appearance of my blogs bringing them into the new formats provided by blogger and clearing out the clutter on them.  All of this reorganizing is in anticipation of a new website that will feature my portfolios!  Yes, It is about time I get my online presence in order and I am looking forward to having an official website again!


Eye to Eye project blog header: Vincent Van Gogh eye painting Alicia Hunsicker, 2008

 

In 2008, I traveled to Shanghai, China as a part of a collaborative project called “Eye to Eye”. While there we presented our project in the Intrude: Art & Life 366 Interdisciplinary Art Exhibition at the Zendai Museum of Modern Art. We created a blog about it that I recently gave a face lift to.....You can check it out at: http://eyetoeye-intrudes.blogspot.com/


Time is flying by.........

The time has been flying by!  I apologize for underestimating the time it would take to finish my rewards. There have been a few obstacles that have taken me by surprise and have pushed back my timeline. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

 Rewards Update: 

Coasters:
I had the last bunch of coasters cut this week after  having some problems with the wood splitting in the previous batch.  I am sanding them now and will seal and paint them over the next two weeks.  I have just 6 more sets to do.

 5x7 works on paper:
The paper has been cut to size and 75% of the xerox transfers are done.  The next step has been to seal them with clear gesso which I hope to be finished with this weekend.  Once they are all processed, (about 50 of them!) I will start with the color flourishes and send them out as I finish them. 

The 8x10's and eye portraits:
I am estimating that the coasters will need 2 weeks and that the 50, 5x7 paintings will take a little over a month to paint. Then I will be on to the 8x10's and the eye portraits. I will update you as I get closer to working on them.  My goal is to complete this project during the spring.

Thanks again for your wonderful support and patience!  I look forward to completing the rewards and sending you a beautiful token of my appreciation.
