Got a Grant!

Yesterday I found out that I've been awarded a grant from the NC Arts Council to pay for a brochure for my up-coming solo show at the Hickory Museum of Art all of next summer. The money will also cover an exploratory trip to Savannah to check out galleries there. My taxes at work.

Skipper

Here is my latest. After painting the girl cannon-balling off the end of the dock in "The Optimist and the Pessimist" (which just sold!), I wanted to try my hand at one more motion painting. Is this one girl skipping or four? It doesn't matter. What matter is that she/they bounce!

Solo Show at Turchin Center for the Arts

I just got an invitation for a solo exhibition at the Turchin Center for the Arts in Boone, NC!! This will run in conjunction with teaching for Cheap Joe in September, 2013.

Oh, My DVD, Master Disaster, is now available through Artists Network. Google Susan Webb Tregay and this comes up 4 or 5 times.

Another Award for this Series

Thank you Miami Watercolor Society for your gracious second place award in your 2011 Online Exhibition. The prize money will be well spent. Thanks for supporting the arts.

Moving Heaven and Earth

Being an artist is great. I moved both heaven and earth yesterday in this painting--and came out with a better painting. These are "The Optimist and the Pessimist." (acrylic 40 x 30) Before (bottom) and After (top). Are you an Optimist or a Pessimist?

Museum Show!

I just got an invitation for a three-month solo exhibition at the Hickory Art Museum NC. This will be the perfect place to show the best and the brightest of this series.The opening will be May 26th, 2012. If you are in NC mark your calendar!

Charleston!

Painting a specific city, in this case Charleston, on a grid was a challenging experience. What do you need to give the feeling of this wonderful city? What do you need to change in order for the overall design to work? This was a fun painting, but in some ways agonizing. Enjoy.
