Hello My Sweet Darlings! Many apologies for being away...I've been so busy that I decided to put my blog aside for a few days to make sure all of my retailers and web customers get their orders on time! And, In related news...to take some time out. This weekend I managed to steal a day off on Saturday...as those of you who follow my (often absurd) twitter feed, may know...on Saturday, I went to a bunch of gallery shows that Should Not Be Missed.
For any of you who are in New York City...or who will be, in the next couple of weeks, I highly recommend heading to the Zach Feuer gallery to see the Sister Corita Kent exhibition; which I was lucky enough to do this weekend.
I was new to Sister Corita's work...but fell instantly under it's spell. This artist (who was a nun for a time, an activist, and a teacher) used pop art vernacular to convey uniquely joyous, meditative, social and spiritual sentiment...with works titled " Come Alive" and "Power Up"...you can just feel the energy, the life, and the humanity in her mindset. I found this work refreshing, positive, and so energized...what a way to zap myself back into the present.
Anyway, I wanted to share some of Sister Corita's screenprints and work here, and to introduce you, if you haven't heard of her yet. These pieces brought me such joy...and the phrases she uses, often funny, meaningful, and always full of life...made me feel like a whole human being!
