Still Life Lives! @ the Fitchburg Art Museum

Happy Fall!  I'm so happy it's (almost) Fall in New England, my favorite season! But I think I may have OD'ed on pumpkin spice already, and it's not even October!  Anyhow, in between lattes, I've been busy preparing two pieces for a very exciting show that I am thrilled to be a part of!  Still Life Lives! at the Fitchburg Art Museum is a group exhibition that celebrates the vitality of the still life tradition and its themes of beauty, bounty, darkness, fragility, and fleeting moments. Still Life Lives! features paintings from FAM’s permanent collection – gorgeous florals and fruits by Nell Blaine, Marc Chagall, Henri Fantin-Latour, William Harnett, Walt Kuhn, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Marguerite Zorach, to name a few – surrounded by striking examples of the genre by over twenty contemporary New England artists.  I will have two pieces in this show, the first is a new piece, The Birds and the Bees, which I've never shown before, and the other is a work from 2010, Altar #4.  Both are dressed up in brand-new frames, and I'm so proud to have them alongside some really amazing artists.  Hope you can join us for the opening reception on Sunday, September 22nd from 1:00-3:00 pm.  (Please note: if you do decide to attend, Museum admission is required for the opening.  But, this gives you full access to the Museum, and is very reasonable at $9.00/adult.  Come early, check out the FAM's permanent collection, then join us for the party at 1:00 pm!)
