Evolve Urban Arts Gallery Pierce School Lofts 1375 Maryland Avenue NE Washington, DC 20002 Märchen:  A folktale characterized by elements of magic or the supernatural, such as the endowment of a mortal character with magical powers or special knowledge; variations expose the hero to supernatural beings or objects. The German term Märchen, used universally by folklorists, also embraces tall tales and humorous anecdotes; although it is often translated as "fairy tale,” the fairy is not a requisite motif. Encyclopedia Britannica EVOLVE Urban Arts Project presents the work of three Washington artists, Jill Finsen, Kay Fuller and Alexandra Sherman.          Jill Finsen:  "With allusions to the works of early 20th century American painters and the Fauvists, my modern paintings embody a tension between familiarity and abstraction." Kay Fuller:  Art is my passion.  I live to create art that brings joy to the viewer using watercolors, acrylic and collage.   Alexandra Sherman:  "Nature provides countless symbols through which the artist expresses truth, meaning, and can explore the interior landscape of the self."   The exhibit runs Sunday March 30 thru Friday May 23, 2014. The Project space is located in the Pierce School Lofts at 1375 Maryland Avenue, NE, in the H Street Arts and Entertainment District.  The artist reception is free and open to the public.

2014 Ikebana Show at the Art League Gallery

What an honor it is to have my painting, Crossroads, selected to be in this show.  And, what a coincidence that my friend and colleague, Paula Coupe's, vases used for the arrangement that was in front of my painting.  Paula and I work together at the Smithsonian Castle information desk.
  Here are some of the arrangements.

Patricia Painter did a wonder Ikebana arrangement in Paula Coupe
s vase and my painting in the background.
