Featured in Still Point Arts Quarterly Magazine

kreed — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:52:44 +0000

I received a call late this summer from Christine Cote, editor of the Still Point Quarterly and owner of the online Still Point Art Gallery.

She wanted to feature me in the fabulous art magazine she writes!!!

Right before we left for Paradise City, I received my printed copy of the magazine.

What a great piece she did on me. The quality of her writing and art choices just blows me away. On two pages she wrote about my life and featured My Drum, My Beat, My Reality. The next 10 pages are full-page reproductions of my artwork. It is printed on fabulous heavy paper with just the right amount of gloss.

If you are a fan of my work you might want to take a look at what Christine has to offer. You can buy a single issue or subscribe. Click here.

My work has now been featured in Mumbia India; Paris France; along with various US publications, including The Boston Globe and Chronicle Magazine.

Back From Paradise (Northampton)

kreed — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:13:21 +0000

We had only seen our full booth on paper so the morning of the show we had to set everything up and it was a hectic start. It came out great as you can see from the photos and we got loads of compliments. More importantly, people felt they could spend as time as they wanted in our booth–some even coming back multiple times with friends!

As with everything, it was a learning experience. I think the next show, we are going to tweak it a little and set up a little more private work area.

Although well attended, the 80 degree weather made me think of running through a sprinkler but it was a little late in the season for that!

The good news was that we still did well. Larry and I met art lovers and buyers, collectors, gallery owners and professional fellow artists from all over.

I want to thank all the people who helped us and made it possible to physically pull this off. This includes the good folks who loaded and unloaded our two trucks as well as the friends and family who helped with the set-up and breakdown of the booth. We could not have done it without you.

And while there was no changing foliage to speak of on the way to the show, on the return home, the color had begun to blossom. Clearly a good omen for our upcoming Paradise City Marlborough Show Nov 18-20.

Anticipating Paradise City – Northampton ’11

kreed — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 18:42:07 +0000

Paradise City in Northampton is next weekend. I am excited and nervous. [Click here for more info]

Oct 8, 9 & 10, 2011
3 County Fairgrounds
54 Old Ferry Rd, off Route 9
Northampton, MA 01060

I’m not sure if you got a copy in the mail, but I ran an ad in the Paradise City Fall Guide 2011. What do you think? Do you think that describing my work as “Vibrant Colors, Geometric Shapes and a Touch of Humor on Canvas,” captures their spirit?

Even more thrilling, I am pleased to report that My Drum, My Beat, My Reality is featured in the first article in the Fall Guide. The show within a show is “Picturing the Music”.

Read my poem in the original painting:

“Don’t listen for my drum. It exists only for me!
The beat I follow unknown to others…
A steady cacophony beats in my head….
My drum, my beat, my reality.“

What synergy!

I hope to see you there!

Pawtucket Open Studios & a Visit to Seven Stars Bakery

kreed — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 16:32:50 +0000

My next Show is Pawtucket Open Studios. A mere 45 minutes from Newton.

I grew up in Rhode Island and feel very at home there. If you need something fun to do come visit.

My location is Riverside Lofts #101, 16 Exchange Court, an artist live/work studio. Lots of fun art and a wonderful bakery down the road. Visit Seven Stars on Hope Street in Providence. Pecan rolls to die for. Fabulous breads and wonderful coffee. Make a day of it and have dinner on Federal Hill. A wonderful Italian neighborhood.

Hope to see you there!

Greenrooms and Woman of Words

kreed — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:16:23 +0000

Just in time for the September 1st Opening, Larry and I installed my Woman of Words show at VideoLink. Actually Larry installed and I supervised.

The staff at VideoLink were wonderful in helping us with the installation.

My ladies do not get intimidated or star struck because they feel comfortable with who they are. In fact, my ladies are proud to be showcased in VideoLink’s three greenrooms and feel free to advise visiting celebrities who are there to film their promotional spots, TV appearances, marketing films, and so on.

The show has 21 Giclées as well as two original paintings: Babylonian Voices #1 and Follow Your Heart To Realize Your Dreams, which greets you in the front lobby. It is four square feet but there’s plenty of “white space” around it on the enormous wall.

The show is open by appointment. Feel free to contact me and I can arrange to show you the exhibit.

Getting into the Pawtucket Yearly Juried Exhibit

kreed — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:35:01 +0000

The limitations for this exhibit were the size of the artwork. The maximum size was 36″ on any side. Because my canvases are so large, my Woman of Words paintings wouldn’t qualify. So what to do?

Showing my work in the area that I grew up in is important for so many reasons … sentimental, pride, wanting to give back, to stay connected … just to name a few.

My first love was oil painting so I went “into the vault” and picked two pieces to enter. When I delivered the painting for jurying, the gallery was filled with artwork. But I had no qualms. I knew one of my paintings would get in. It did.

The piece is called “On Firm Ground“. It is part of my celestial attachment.

The painting is for sale for $4,500. I love it. It was painted when I was painting only in oils. Much of my current work, like Woman of Words, is tight, geometric, acrylic work. Soon, I plan to “dip into my oils” and create some of the free flowing pieces.

It’s a interesting that the controlled work brings one kind of satisfaction & the other brings relaxation; yet both involve painting. I sometimes think I’m taking a break from my painting to paint.

Going to John Barradas’ Show

kreed — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:11:44 +0000

Larry and I went to the opening of John Barradas’ show. At 95 he is still actively painting. We only could stay a little while but I was sure to tell everyone that he is my new boyfriend. His daughter told me that he has been raving about my work! So John and I have a Mutual Admiration Society going on.

“I still get excited about painting, and I still get inspiration,” said Barradas. “As long as you feel good, you know. Painting is what keeps me going.”

Barradas is bringing some of his finest paintings of scenes from Taunton. He is known for attention to detail, having owned a sign making company for decades.

In 1999, Barradas created two works of folk art that captured the essence of bustling community atmospheres in Taunton.

He painted an 8-by-22 foot mural of the Polish Picnic, a colorful festival that had been a tradition in Taunton, with games, pierogies and dancing at Holy Rosary Church. Most of the dozens of people depicted in the mural were actual members of the church, sort of Rockwell-esque.

He also painted 10-by-35 foot mural depicting an early 20th century scene of the Weir village on the side of a building in the center of the neighborhood.
