The Great Lakes Art Festival website has been created to help the many fantastic Michigan artists who would normally be exhibiting their work at the hundreds of art shows held around the Great Lakes through the course of the year. Especially those artists who don't have other venues to showcase and sell their work.
Four pieces of my most recent work are a part of the Great Lakes Art Festival. Although they are not currently for sale, I hope to update this soon! Take a peek!
Hard to Choose, Hard to Lose features over 25 Detroit artists including Brandon Altman, Austen Brantley, Cydney Camp, Josué Emmanuel Fierro, Laura Gibson, Ryan Herberholz, Waleed Johnson, Lauren Kalman, Joshua Kochis, Jennifer Lindemer, Laurie Longtin, Lorenzo Lorenzetti, Ian Machett, Miles Marie, Luke Mack, Nosey42, Hayden Richer, Sareytales, Marshall Sass, John Sippel, Rebekah Sweda, Darryl DeAngelo Terrell, Rachel Elise Thomas, Zach Thompson, Wade Tullier, Joanie Wind and Rosamaria Zamarron.
The title speaks to the difficulty in choosing the artists amongst many submissions that demonstrated artistic potential and excellence and also references the initiative’s timeliness in light of the Coronavirus pandemic, which has directly impacted artists.
The arts —although widely considered a luxury market—is one of the hard-hit industries when the economy stands on shaky ground. Artists and their work hold the power to simultaneously inspire and heal, making it especially worth celebrating and supporting now.
A portion of all artwork sales from Hard to Choose, Hard to Lose will be donated to Gleaners Food Bank.
Temmoku clay and porcelain slip
6x11x14 inches
2020
This is the first piece I made when my kitchen became my quarantine clay studio. It is a sculpture made by using a coil and pinch technique. Since I can’t glaze or fire, I gave the surface extra attention. All of the pieces I have made during quarantine have been decorated with slips or finished by burnishing. For this sculpture, I left the texture from the pinching movement of my hands and accentuated it with white porcelain slip.
