An Evening at Arts Wave

Posted on by

On November 9th of 2010, Arts Wave invited me as a guest artist to be apart of their Board Member Training Class. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with potential board members who were graduating in to Cincinnati’s premier art organizations. In addition to sharing with the group my experience in art education and its services to diverse communities, I engaged the class with the interactive magnetic quilt project, which originated from one of my lessons from Contemporary Connection at the Contemporary Arts Center. Thank you Arts Wave for inviting me and my magnets.

Remembering Tom Shaw

Posted on by

From the Corcoran Gallery of Art to the Taft Museum of Art’s Duncanson Artist -in -Residence to the first local Black solo art show at the Cincinnati Art Museum, Thom Shaw has a remarkable list of achievements, but I believe for anyone who knew Thom up close or at a distance knew his drive – his dedication and his pursuit of truth in all that he expressed. The personal search to communicate clearly what and why, not only with fractured social images like Poverty’s Paradise, but also with his own health developments – The Big Hurt. His solid black and white imagery was clear to any viewer, regardless of opinion. Even in a work like Thugzilla, Thom referenced ideas that were so predominant they had a life of their own.
Thom’s health did interrupt him repeatedly through out his career, but every time he got back up, we were all waiting for that next piece that reminded us that life and the time we have on this earth is sacred and that we must make are mark in the time we have. Tom made his mark on all who knew him and his work. We thank you for sharing your vision with us.

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who came out to see my exhibition Urban Rapture at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center. I would also like to thank the students that I worked with in the Eva G. Farris Educational Center whose work was on view in the Carnegie’s children’s gallery.
