So close!

A few postcards are about to go out in the mail, if I have your address from a past exhibition I'll be sending one along. Otherwise I'm relying on this page & my blog to get the word out!

Fall Along the Canal: Press Release

Fall Along the Canal
Rockhill Bakehouse Cafe,
19 Exchange Street, Glens Falls, NY
October 9 - November 5, 2011

Reception: October 20, 2011, 5-7 p.m.

Rockhill Bakehouse Cafe in downtown, Glens Falls, NY will present an exhibition of photographs, large format altered digital prints, and polymer clay jewelry by Queensbury artist Sara Pearsall entitled, Fall Along the Canal. The exhibition will open on October 9 and continue through November 5, 2011. A reception will be held at the cafe as part of the Third Thursday Art Walk on October 20, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Fall Along the Canal will feature ten photographs, four large format altered digital prints and six polymer clay jewelry sets inspired by the Feeder Canal trail from the Feeder Dam to Haviland’s Cove. All of the artwork incorporates the autumn colors, textures and beauty seen along the path. The photographs and large format altered digital prints are a variety of landscape and macro images. Each of the polymer clay jewelry sets is designed using different polymer clay beads that intrepret the textures and colors of the waterway. This section of the canal has played an important role in the artist’s daily life and this exhibit captures the autumn beauty along the water. A portion of the sales from the exhibit will be donated to the Feeder Canal Alliance, a local not-for-profit that preserves, promotes and maintains the canal.

Sara Pearsall works with three distinct artistic pursuits; photography, printing inks & polymer clay. The photographs & prints are vibrant images of the Adirondacks & the outdoors. The jewelry features handmade polymer clay beads incorporating the colors & textures found in nature. Sara has been working with photography and digital imagery for over 14 years and has balanced her studio work with polymer clay jewelry since 2002. The prints and polymer clay designs are often linked, sometimes the connections between the mediums are as obvious as an image transfer or as simple as a color. Sara has had numerous group and solo shows in the greater Glens Falls region and recently had an altered digital photograph included in a national juried exhibit in Blue Mountain Lake, NY.

Still working!!!

With an upcoming show at Rockhill Bakehouse Cafe in October, I've been working on both new altered digital prints, photographs and polymer clay pieces.

Fall Along the Canal will open on October 9, 2011!

Photographs have been sent to be printed, three of the four digital prints are finished and the first set of beads are waiting to be sanded. Some sneak peaks coming up soon!

New show schedule for August!

It looks like August plans have changed a bit. I won't be up at the Lake George arts & crafts show. I'll be in Saratoga, Tuesday August 23rd from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. for the Art in the Park Festival that is part of Travers week. Hope to see you there!

A fabulous day in the park!

What an absolute gorgeous day! Saratoga's Art in the Park was a great festival, I so enjoyed meeting new people and talking about my artwork. Thank you everyone who stopped by. I hope that the jewelry pieces that were purchased garner many, many compliments for the wearers!!!

Saratoga on Saturday!

Two new pieces that will be added to the booth for the arts & crafts show in Saratoga Springs this Saturday. The Art in the Park is sponsored by the Saratoga Arts Council and will be held in Congress Park on Saturday, July 9th from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. If you are in the area, stop by I will have my jewelry, prints and photographs in the booth. Hope to see you there & keep your fingers crossed for good weather!

It's all about the space!

Our local paper, The Post Star just published an article about my artwork, the studio and what is inspiring about the space where you create. It was quite fun to talk about organization and the process of my printing, polymer clay and photography working together all in one studio. The interview and subsequent photo shoot also proved to me how much of a family space my studio is becoming with my little one running in and out and 'doodling' picures as the reporter, photographer and I talked! Such fun!

Here's the link to the Saturday, June 25th article.
Queensbury artist keeps a space for creativity.

And now it's back to work for the Saratoga Art in the Park show coming up on July 9th.

Accepted!

I just received word that my altered digital print, Trillium II was accepted into the national juried photography show, Diversity Through Many Lenses. I based the print on the original photograph I took for the Tannery Pond exhibit in 2010, but worked through many, many more layers and effects for this print. I'm so excited!

The exhibit will be shown August 26th thru September 24th, 2011 at the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. The gallery reception will be held in Blue Mountain Lake on September 24th, 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m.!
