I’m Speaking
ding ding ding It’s LIVE, and so very awesome!
I’m thrilled to have three of my favourite artworks from the Alienlandscapes series featured in the PXP Contemporary Gallery x ALL.SHE.MAKES Summer Exhibition, “I’m Speaking: The Language of Art”
The exhibition is curated by the very cool Alicia Puig @puigypics, and it’s immensely satisfying and all kinds of warm & fuzzy to see my work in the show alongside that of the many talented womxn artists.
The show will run from July 15- Oct 15 2021 and is now open to view at pxpcontemporary.com
Happy Art Surfing! ❤️
Note from the curator::
As both an avid writer and reader, I’m fascinated by language and how we use it to communicate. While I didn’t begin this jurying process with a theme in mind, in considering the collective work of the selected artists, I believe language is the common thread that ties them together. In this show, you’ll see art with text included directly in the work to convey an idea, pieces that utilize a specific medium as a means of expressing a message, and in others, the subject or use of color is the foundation of the artist’s visual language. When looking at art, I am often most drawn to craftsmanship, detail, and technique. In this case, however, what I truly wanted to discover and experience was each individual artist’s voice – and I did.
Especially because of the mission of All SHE Makes to serve as a platform elevating the visibility of womxn artists, I felt this theme was both fitting and timely. These womxn artists deserve to be seen and heard. Vulnerable, poetic, insightful, poignant, bold, and honest. I hope you both look and listen carefully because it’s very likely you’ll be inspired by or resonate with what they have to say.

The PXP Contemporary Gallery regularly invites art collectors and curators to select some of their favorite works in an ongoing Exhibition. Art Collector, Writer & Curator- Christina Peters was invited to pick a few artworks from the current “I’m speaking” show and I’m thrilled that one of the works she picked was mine.
I’ve never had my artscapes described as dangerous and yet the description sounds just right, very much like the vibrant show-offy dangerous creatures of the wild. I’m so intrigued by this perspective of my wildling.
What do you think? Do you agree with Christina? How would you describe my art? View the curator’s other lovely selections here. Cool, eh?
