I have this sense that 2011 will be a year filled with great and inspiring art exhibits that I will travel to see. Exhibitions that move away from traditional and/or shock, but rather whose intent is to honestly educate and invites the viewer to participate in a conversation about the art and the artist.

Last night was the artist reception for Patsy Lowry at Riva Yares Gallery and I stopped by to say hello to my new and very impressive friend, and to enjoy the brilliance of her work. When I arrived Patsy was standing outside of the gallery greeting each visitor with her joyous smile and energy. A great show with an appreciative crowd.
Painting by Brian Kershisnik at The Mesa Art Center
What I appreciate most about Brian Kershisnik’s Paintings, is his uncomplicated way of telling of a story. Most of our lives are void of heavy drama and are filled instead with simply unnoticeable and fulfilling events. His paintings are about these events that we acknowledge only as we look back at what gave us the most joy.
Nice Words an exhibit of paintings by Brian Kershisnik, On view until Sunday, February 27, 2011 at the
The Brooklyn Museum is still in my opinion a secret New York treasure. The museum is not located on museum row therefor it is a pre-meditated visit and it is a place that more people should think about visiting.
Young African by Consuelo Kanaga
There is current exhibit that ends Oct. 17th that is worth a drop by for anyone who wants to get a better and different handle on the history of this country.
