Anahata (heart) 12x24, encaustic
Just finished this piece yesterday, which is going in a show being hosted by our high school in Portland. It is the first time in a long while I've worked with adding images and words to a painting; most of my other work is non-representational and focused on texture and color.
Below is more info about the show cut from a recent newsletter. We'll be going down next weekend for a visit with the parents, a baby shower, and to go to the opening. Looking forward to it!
"Matthew Lyon's death last June has moved those who knew him and worked with him to honor his memory and his life by organizing an art exhibit that celebrates the theme of Seeking Spirit, a guiding force in Matt's life and art. Artists who knew Matt were invited to contribute original artwork inspired by his work, friendship and influence. Proceeds from any sales will be donated to the Matt Lyon Memorial Scholarship Fund. Over 30 artists, 12 of them alumni, will be participating. Everyone is welcome to attend the opening reception from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 9, in the new Gallery at Oregon Episcopal School."
