\"This<\/a><\/p>\n

New year. New month. New gallery. New show. All of this means I have been busily and happily painting in plaster, oil, and cold wax.<\/p>\n

\"WIP<\/a><\/p>\n

I wrote about my new gallery last month<\/a>, sharing the happy news that I was joining with Tory Brokenshire and Bonnie Hull to be the new owner-artists of the Compass Gallery<\/a><\/em>. Our January show, Magnetic Pull<\/strong><\/em>, represents what art is tugging at our hearts as we begin 2016. All three of us recently wrote briefly about our individual magnetic pulls. I thought it would be fun for me to share what all three of us wrote:<\/p>\n

Bonnie Hull<\/strong><\/p>\n

A person who makes art experiences the magnetic pull of the creative urge every day. As she goes on with it, the methods and media change, overlap . . . . collide maybe. \u201cMark-making\u201d has become the single thread on which my own art practice hangs and I\u2019m in the midst of discovering the commonality of what mark-making really means across a spectrum of activity. In 2016 my idea is to continue examining the relation between drawing and quilt making.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tory Brokenshire<\/strong><\/p>\n

Magnetic pull is more than just a thought, it is a reality for anyone who is passionate about anything they do. I\u2019m pulled towards the human figure, drawing, sewing, or sculpting in clay. Teaching and sharing figurative sculpture has also become a very important part of my passion. I believe everyone can feel a little bit of that pull to create.<\/em><\/p>\n

Texture. Intersections. Excavation. Layers. Marks. Lines. Words. Color. Scratching. Scritching. These are the things that have pulled at me for the past several years. During 2016, I am hoping to dig deeper, incorporating more marks, more lines, more layers. A year of more, seeing how far I can push the processes I love.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"WIP<\/a><\/p>\n

The newly formed Compass Gallery<\/a> has a fresh show in January with a fun twist. Throughout the month, weekly Wednesday – Saturday, from 11 am – 3 pm, one of us will be in the gallery working on our art and available to chat about our process, inspiration, and techniques. The show, Magnetic Pull<\/strong><\/em>, runs January 11-February 3, 2016.<\/p>\n

Throughout January, join us as we work on our art in the gallery from 11-3 on Wednesdays through Saturdays. Here is the schedule:<\/p>\n

January 13-16 Bonnie Hull will be stitching and drawing (and she invites people to bring their own projects and join her).<\/p>\n

January 20-23 Tory Brokenshire will be creating whimsical characters in polymer clay.<\/p>\n

January 27-30 Dayna Collins will be painting with her favorite mediums on pre-plastered boards: oil, cold wax, and oil pigment sticks.<\/p>\n

Here are photos of some of my new work that will be included in the show:<\/p>\n

The exhibition begins January 11 and the artists will host a simple reception in the gallery on Thursday, January 14, 5:00-7:00 pm, as part of Art After Dark<\/em><\/strong>, when the second floor studios will be open and Max Marbles<\/a>, bookbinder, will be in his first floor studio demonstrating a publishing technique. These events are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday-Saturday, 10:00 am \u2013 5:00 pm. The exhibition will be on view through February 3.<\/p>\n
