New Postcard Design

 



I had to make a few changes on the post card design and I quite pleased with the new version and see it as an improvement.  My show is going to be longer than previously thought and will run at Gallery in the Woods from November 6, 2015 to January 31, 2016.  The opening reception will be held during Brattleboro's gallery walk night on Nov. 6th from 5:30 to 8 pm.  Hope to see you there!

I really love designing postcards for myself and other artists. If there is an artist or gallery that needs some help with this, I am available for hire at reasonable rates.

Zenith @ Gallery in the Woods

I will be having my third feature/solo show this Nov/Dec. at Gallery in the Woods, Brattleboro, VT.  Zenith will include around 10 of the paintings completed in 2015.

If you missed the show at Omega and can’t make it to the Geissler Gallery in Greenfield, MA this month, you will have one more chance to see my work in person this year, unless you stop by the studio which you will be welcome!
The opening reception take place on the first Friday gallery walk in November.





Pictured here on the card is "Dance of the Cosmos" 30"x30", acrylic on cradle board.

Geissler Gallery Show

Here is one of the wall installations from my current show "Transcendent" at the Geissler Gallery. (one wall of 5) This show will be up through October 28th and is located at Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield, MA.

Showing in this massive space was such a wonderful experience as it allowed me to see my work
for the first time from such a far perspective.  The paintings in this photo are large at 30"x 30" and they look decievingly small.  This space also granted me the opportunity to see a large body of my work together in one space.   The gallery hours are 9am to 4 pm Monday -Friday.  I hope you will stop in and enjoy the show.

Supernova

Supernova, Alicia Hunsicker, 2015
12" x 12" x 1.5", acrylic on cradle board

A little studio update:
I have been painting but not as proficiently as I would like. I am still waiting for my new glasses and stronger lens prescription to arrive (any day now!).    I have been working on a large 30"x30" painting which will be done soon and I finished this one to the left "Supernova" this past week. 

I will be having an interview released with Whole Terrain Journal on this coming Monday the 15th.  I will put a link in when it is posted. If you are interested in reading other interviews that I have done over the years you can find them at this Link.

Musica Universalis

Musica Universalis, Alicia Hunsicker, 2015
12x12, acrylic on cradle board

 Painting has been slow going over the last month as I have discovered that I need to upgrade my eyeglass prescription. I am painting much smaller and more detailed panels these days and maybe that has something to do with the amount of eye strain that I have been experiencing. I hope that when the new glasses arrive it will improve the length of my painting sessions and I can make up for some lost time toward my next show deadline.  I have been really enjoying weaving these lines and forms into a multi-dimentional space.

I am pleased to finally present the painting I have been working on for the last several weeks. It is the next painting in the 2015 Cosmic Bloom series, titled:
 "Musica Universalis" (Music of the Spheres in Latin)


from Wikipedia:
Musica universalis (lit. universal music, or music of the spheres) or Harmony of the Spheres is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies—the Sun, Moon, and planets—as a form of musica (the Medieval Latin term for music). This "music" is not usually thought to be literally audible, but a harmonic and/or mathematical and/or religious concept. The idea continued to appeal to thinkers about music until the end of the Renaissance, influencing scholars of many kinds, including humanists.

Galileo

Galileo, 5" x7.5",acrylic on cradle board
Alicia Hunsicker, 2015

 

I took the week off after delivering my work to the show at Omega and now I am getting back to work painting for my next show at the Geissler Gallery.  I just finished this little one (5" x 7.5") that I am calling "Galileo" after
Galileo Galilei, an Italian physicist, mathematician, engineer, astronomer, and philosopher. 

Galileo played a major role in the scientific revolution during the Renaissance. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy  the "father of modern physics", and the "father of science"^.
