New Beginnings

Studio wall 2017

I began this blog in 2009 with "some of this and that about art " and also featured artists working their studios. I have always been interested in artists' inspirations, story, personal history,point of view and studio life.

What inspires you? What makes the hair on your neck go up? What do you take pictures of? What is your personal history? What artist's work turns you on and why? What do you see outside your window in the studio? What's on your bookshelf? What do you listen to? Thoughts in the studio?

Those are the kind of questions I will be asking myself and others again.
Stayed tuned but meanwhile here are some interesting posts from the past:

Exhibitions

Snow day in Spring! Hoping all is well where you live and you are enjoying art full days! Lisa Happy to be included in the first show at the Jen Tough Gallery, Vallejo, CA open until April 8th Free Passage at Addington Gallery in Chicago through May From Dan Addington: I'm really excited to announce that Addington Gallery will be featuring noted abstract painter Lisa Pressman in our upcoming group exhibition "Free Passage: ).Lisa is a fantastic painter and a leading practitioner in the US of encaustic painting, although she often incorporates oil and other wax-based mediums into her work. These paintings are deep, layered, and visceral, yet somehow they always remain fresh, immediate, and vivid! Lisa is a true colorist, and when you see these pieces in person (as I hope you do, here, on March 3) you will be captivated by how she speaks the language of color, and how clearly you can hear her voice. These gem-like paintings (many are 12x12) are capable of taking you on long journeys (hence the title of the show "Free Passage"). I know this, because one hangs in my kitchen, and it helps wake me up every morning. - Opening March 3, 5-8pm at Addington Gallery, 704 N Wells St. Interview with Abstract artist Lisa Pressman I have  decided to create a Facebook group that would be : updates on my exhibitions and workshops, a place to share art, information, ideas, thoughts  and discussions. A little more interactive than a blog and a Facebook page and no politics. Just Art! So if you are interested: please ask to join MORE PAINT on FB. See you there.

Invitation to Join

It has been way to long since I have posted on this blog. Between being in the studio, teaching and all of the other social media,  the blog has gone to the side. I decided to create a Facebook group that would be : updates on my exhibitions and workshops, a place to share art, information, ideas, thoughts  and discussions. A little more interactive than the blog.

So if you are interested please ask to join MORE PAINT on FB. See you there,
Lisa
