Karen Loomis

TRIAD at Gallery in the Woods Extended through August!

 

Three artists exhibit together for the month of July with an opening reception on 
Friday, July 1st from 5 - 8 PM.

Deborah Garner, Alicia Hunsicker, and Karen Loomis are close friends and creative collaborators who have worked in tandem for decades. They draw inspiration from the natural world to create distinctive visionary reflections of the macro and micro in oil, acrylic, alcohol ink and other media. 

Deborah Garner's artistic process is about letting go. Her spontaneous interaction with the materials is an organic flow which she allows to happen rather than following a preconceived end result. Her work expresses a sense of freedom and loose gestures that appear in motion.

Alicia Hunsicker's art fuses her interests in science, consciousness, and spirituality. She sees repeating patterns in nature as the framework of a divine connective language and often references particles in her paintings to express something common from the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the universe.

Karen Loomis creates work that reveres the beauty in broken or damaged objects by emphasizing the transformation that occurs in repair.  Her sculptural pieces express love expended on mending and value in what is imperfect. Her paintings in this body of work investigate cellular, dendritic, and crystalline patterns that occur in nature.

Come meet the artists during Gallery Walk on Friday, July 1st from 5 - 8 PM  at Gallery in the Woods, 145 Main Street. For more information go to galleryinthewoods.com or call (802) 257-4777.

Adobe Suite Associate Certification Complete!

 

I created a logo as a small part of my final project for the year long course for Adobe Suite
Associate Certification through Salem State University. I am pretty proud to have completed this course, where I became proficient in five Adobe programs Adobe Photoshop,  Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and Animate
I may or may not use this logo for my graphic design business but I do like it so I won't rule it out.
The triangle shape is symbolic of the A frame I live in here in W. Mass.

 

 

 

 During the Covid times I have had to take a break from my art practice because art venues for shows are closed and workshops that I teach have been canceled.  I thought I would make the best of this break to polish my skills.  I will soon complete the Adobe Suite Associate Certificate program and have also taken some great Marketing and Branding classes. I have worked as a graphic designer in the past and I would like to reactivate my own freelance business to help other artists in the future. Below is a piece I designed for a job I recently completed for GCC. All these new classes and trainings have gotten my skill set up to date with the new technology. I hope I can share some of them with you soon. Until then I wish all of you good health and safety in these uncertain times. much love, Alicia

Photos from SHIFT

Gallery Director Anne LaPrade Seuthe writes; 

On view in the main gallery space are a forest of tree sculptures,
a garden inspired meditation floor painting, a painting of a sparkling waterfall,
alcohol-ink paintings on tiles, and paper flower sculptures in a variety of sizes.

Hunsicker’s ethereal, open ended paintings made their first appearance in a
solo show at Hampden Gallery 10 years ago. In this new body of work,
aptly titled “shift”, the artist’s signature orbs and floral motifs have
have shifted from two to three dimensional.

 Her process involves  gathering together materials that are headed to be discarded.
This body of work is comprised 80% or more of recycled materials.
Hunsicker repurposed these materials in unexpected ways -- all while
 keeping notions of a lush edenic garden somewhere in the mix.

 Of the shift that has occurred in the works in the exhibition, Hunsicker writes,
“ By keeping my studio practice in line with my spiritual practice I trusted
that the resulting works would in some ways express my view of the  world.”

 

 

 

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SHIFT Now showing at Hampden Gallery

 

 

 

Please join me on April 22nd from 2 to 4 pm at Hampden Gallery, UMass, Amherst
to see the show and celebrate Earth Day!

  Come witness the SHIFT that has taken place in this body of experimental work.

This show is an exploration into new and unpredictable mediums which include

 alcohol ink on tile, epoxy resin on glass, cut paper, vinyl, mixed media sculpture, 

and acrylics including metallics and interference paint on paper.  

Using forms such as trees, flowers, and circles, this work addresses color, frequency, 

and vibration with underlying themes of living in harmony with the natural world, 

reverence for nature, and spiritual ascension.
