Tina Bohlman will be at the Art League of Fort Bend, in Rosenberg, Texas, January 23-25, 2013.

The workshop will be a combination of indoor/outdoor painting for intermediate to advanced painters, using whatever medium you are most comfortable with. We will work on location for the first day and a half, gathering information in plein air studies, then Tina will show us techniques for turning our outdoor studies into studio paintings on the third day. The cost of the workshop is $250. If you are interested in attending, please contact Sue Zelko at suezelko@att.net for more information. There are still a few openings, but you will need to send a check to guarantee your place.

LIGHT BOXES

Demo and Mini Workshop by Candice Goodwin

Saturday, September 15, 2012

10 - 12

Grand Lakes Presbyterian Church

6035 S Fry Rd (Peek & Fry)

Candice Goodwin has been showing professionally in the Southeast Texas area for over ten years. One style does not define her work. On any given day Candice may be found at the studio creating through several different methods. From collage & decollage, abstract painting, textural pieces, wall & freestanding sculptures, to light boxes, she is always reaching to create outside the normal.

In her quest to generate unusually shaped works, Candice manipulates canvas, screening or other materials, then layers them with luminescent paints. The hues are acquired from the natural and unnatural such as floral & fauna, forestry, volcanoes, fires, oil slicks. In other efforts, wooden panels are conjoined and layered with found objects and mixed media. One of Candice’s favorite technique: distinctive texturing, invites viewers to touch. When she crafts light boxes, she encompasses textures, layering, photographs, philosophical writings & images.

When not in the studio, Candice is an avid amateur nature photographer, carrying a camera with her at all times.

Candice is a member of BCCKT Collaborative – a five member artistic group that meets once a week. In those sessions, collaborative works, as well as individual pieces, are created & critiqued.

Candice spent many years as the Education Chair of the Art League Houston Board of Directors and volunteers throughout the art community, currently at Lawndale Art Center. In 2010 Candice joined Guiton Street Artists, Studio 212, 4848 Guiton Street, Houston, TX.

The selected public artwork for this project will be located in Albuquerque’s Northwest quadrant at 57th Street and Central Avenue in City Council District 1.

PROJECT INTENT/THEME: The Fire Station #7 Art Selection Committee and the Albuquerque Arts Board seek to commission a work of art that explores the numerous possibilities for LED/Neon inspired lighting that enhances the facility so that it becomes a cornerstone for the community in which it is located on western historic Route 66.

Central Avenue is home to several Art Deco and Streamline Moderne buildings,
historic/vintage motor lodges, trading posts, gas stations and classic neon signs from the heyday of Route 66 and the car culture that has surrounded it. Fire Station #7 will be an integral part of the life of Historic Route 66, the surrounding neighborhood, and the City of Albuquerque.

PROJECT FUNDS: $70,000 is available to commission, construct and install a work of art for Fire Station #7. These funds provide for artist design and fabrication, engineered drawings if needed, transport, installation including all needed equipment, and supervision of installation. Eligibility: This project is open to artist/artist teams residing in the United States.

Deadline: August 10, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time.
