I incorporated printed material from websites that published articles on Ai Weiwei's situation. As of today, May 24 2011 - the latest news is the Chinese government is accusing <a href="http://english.ntdtv.com/ntdtv_en/news_china/2011-05-24/supporters-say-ai-weiwei-being-treated-illegally-by-chinese-authorities.html">Mr. Ai of tax evasion</a>.

The opening reception is on May 6 from 5pm-9pm, though the exhibit will remain up until May 29.<br /><br />"The Art of Recovery" is organized by members of the Kenmore Club, a psychosocial rehabilitation program operated by the RASCB. The show will feature original artwork of adults with mental illness. There will be approximately 35 pieces in the show in a variety of mediums including drawings, paintings, sculpture, textiles, and mixed media.<br /><br />May is National Mental Health Month so come show your support and enjoy the great artwork.Scarlett and Gabriel Ponshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183997743309300906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28816441.post-16822092015327349282011-04-12T14:56:00.016-04:002011-04-15T16:13:06.668-04:00Artwork from "Public/Private"Here is some of the artwork from the "Public/Private" exhibit that is up on the walls of the PONSHOP until April 30.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlcrMAl99Kvsa-LmjXyPurk5vDEUqJ3DwJ_ED60WyOg2MuzhnwU4OpGPCn6Fp6VGyBNZcDh-ZTzKsRM2OkJHy7y0AuK1M8a_IocgS37PFEr57Llgf78MMc9hDF00C9kJLM1LU/s1600/long+night%2527s+work.JPG"><img style="display: block;

The theme of the event is Public/Private where artists explore the relationship between the public and private realms of our lives and how those associations manifest themselves in in our everyday environment.<br /><br />On Friday, April 1st from 6pm-10pm we will hold the opening reception. At 7pm there will be a presentation of awards (cash prizes) and an informal gallery talk.<br /><br />Also, at the opening reception there will be a performance by "The Undeniably Adjacent" improv comedy troupe from the University of Mary Washington. From 7:30-9:30 the actors will perform skits in our storefront window. The storefront window will be transformed into a stage only visible from outside the store. The performances will correspond to the theme of Public/Private and will act as a literal "window" into the actors' private lives.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_hISxLdBpO1MBDjd9qOEHL8XHuFGZTagtA49TfU26kPHqJ2W41pGwphrusWf1VuWEoVwS2Ocd3XsZaZ3scj_yEkHB8G6xJAe_TzdWrw7UPgVNj8f_Ioap19-m-lGLN6REEMOq/s1600/Undeniably+Adjacent01_bw.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_hISxLdBpO1MBDjd9qOEHL8XHuFGZTagtA49TfU26kPHqJ2W41pGwphrusWf1VuWEoVwS2Ocd3XsZaZ3scj_yEkHB8G6xJAe_TzdWrw7UPgVNj8f_Ioap19-m-lGLN6REEMOq/s400/Undeniably+Adjacent01_bw.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585523056222829090" border="0" /></a>"The Undeniably Adjacent"<br />Participating actors in the event will be:<br />Rachael Wonderlin<br />Kyle Dratwa<br />Mattson Fields<br />Annie Blaine<br />Elsa Lee<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Come out on April 1st to see this exciting new exhibit and enjoy a collaboration of art work and live performances.</div></div>Scarlett and Gabriel Ponshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183997743309300906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28816441.post-83313492495328708192011-03-17T16:05:00.008-04:002011-03-17T17:26:17.587-04:00World Water Day: Saturday March 19, 2011<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFApLzBjJFWEZnSC1ki0-H8N2AJQf9th46Z6sua13e7xJj-V_qv-f7HNYrbVa7Nc-RINhMHYMg0MAcSxyFKJMcei3FBWYhB3ax3gy-KmPyQMhXdtLkWF0vLFeUgLj6qCprMqFq/s1600/agua+barrel_detail01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFApLzBjJFWEZnSC1ki0-H8N2AJQf9th46Z6sua13e7xJj-V_qv-f7HNYrbVa7Nc-RINhMHYMg0MAcSxyFKJMcei3FBWYhB3ax3gy-KmPyQMhXdtLkWF0vLFeUgLj6qCprMqFq/s400/agua+barrel_detail01.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585160531052033810" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I'm excited to have contributed to Fredericksburg's first annual World Water Day event coming up this weekend.

Juried by Kathleen Walsh, “Public/Private” will challenge participating artists to explore the relationship between the public and private realms of our lives and how those associations manifest themselves in our everyday environment. PONSHOP invites artists working in all two-dimensional media to participate in this month-long regional juried exhibition.</span><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 328px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563946713180788786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9nkqK5rbPyoOkc2w1KoPFPnTY9qAdK8muz7XqMdX2FpvfEWDoQYobPnbDSUf1PXiO5XgEYDnqbLPhyphenhyphennqQp0wiUK8rrQBvcXIcfQ3H010fzdUmlE_f7CkPSnXw2RmYGKrO6bzU/s400/Public_Private-LOGO_web-2011-01-15.jpg" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><strong>Eligibility</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">This exhibit is open to all artists (professional and emerging) in the Virginia Region. “Two dimensional” artwork is inclusive of mediums including but not limited to: painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, digital graphics, textiles, ceramics, screen printing and lithography.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /><strong>Deadline for Submissions</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Hand Deliver to PONSHOP Saturday, March 26 (10-6pm) and Sunday, March 27 (noon-5pm)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /><strong>View the Complete Prospectus Below:</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijFpXUd-SKkFJps8H-cDR7qmG1hifU_69vAAZAeeWMhfEZHWXz_WLI1UgF-MMNj3-KnsdrvYz18Ok1_OIMF7GvY9JjEtEZenjYdIZxqZmiUsZaXtgcH8WW5tJ5nnDw_gZXP1lS/s1600/Public_Private_prospectus_1of2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563946707927977010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijFpXUd-SKkFJps8H-cDR7qmG1hifU_69vAAZAeeWMhfEZHWXz_WLI1UgF-MMNj3-KnsdrvYz18Ok1_OIMF7GvY9JjEtEZenjYdIZxqZmiUsZaXtgcH8WW5tJ5nnDw_gZXP1lS/s400/Public_Private_prospectus_1of2.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"> Page 1 of 2 (click the image above and "save as" the image to print)</span><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7TKxXSu6EVl625eODqENymicaGx_FBTDoDNzKQ3DWDU853pO0H9jtfCRxIlHSet90fqL9Y0cwaeGE6RWQfP4Pik88yfezUr4tJ2Kxxzc6FLMLDyTS4n3Oq-WN5Bfk0U4dVGL-/s1600/Public_Private_prospectus_2of2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563946702816422338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7TKxXSu6EVl625eODqENymicaGx_FBTDoDNzKQ3DWDU853pO0H9jtfCRxIlHSet90fqL9Y0cwaeGE6RWQfP4Pik88yfezUr4tJ2Kxxzc6FLMLDyTS4n3Oq-WN5Bfk0U4dVGL-/s400/Public_Private_prospectus_2of2.jpg" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"> Page 2 of 2 (click the image above and "save as" the image to print)</span></p><p><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjINi4joAJELtt0mxKQXFOQQ9pv_xQijAmjDTthgQvF9QeNaVoZRJPOMgaRAOGxW7EXU_P8oI_aVWu-kFr-qC7qT84DxJjUSWvE8gLOWuh_b8KUTOqRuehgm0pDE9WmD7Cy7tMs/s1600/PONSHOP_Public-Private-submission-req-2011-01-15.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 303px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563946697052721058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjINi4joAJELtt0mxKQXFOQQ9pv_xQijAmjDTthgQvF9QeNaVoZRJPOMgaRAOGxW7EXU_P8oI_aVWu-kFr-qC7qT84DxJjUSWvE8gLOWuh_b8KUTOqRuehgm0pDE9WmD7Cy7tMs/s400/PONSHOP_Public-Private-submission-req-2011-01-15.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Gallery Hanging Requirements (click the image above and "save as" the image to print)</span></p><p><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><strong>Theme: Our Public and Private Lives</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">What delineates the public domain from our personal space? Is it the manifestation of a physical threshold such as a wall, door, or curtain? Or can it be something much less tangible or even invisible? This exhibit seeks to examine how cultures around the globe acknowledge publicity and privacy in their environment and how the two worlds can be blurred. One example of this can be found “online”. Today more than ever, our world is getting more connected and we are able to share (or not share) our daily lives through digital social networks, cell phones, and other media. How does this hyper connectivity affect our personal relationships? Where is the boundary between intimacy and the public stage? </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br />If you have any questions regarding this show or would like to be included on the mailing list for notice of future exhibition opportunities, please contact us at event[at]ponshopstudio.com</span></p>Scarlett and Gabriel Ponshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183997743309300906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28816441.post-38162924014052821232011-01-12T15:39:00.007-05:002011-01-12T16:35:00.765-05:00More Commissioned Work<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGhzW4rLkCCvzNEr5nPIo_4y7iBcFCtX1WeqeKzCzF6n0HDGV52cm0QwXrgLs_RISe_KEoLrnF6LHzUo17eInnf8zjpBKmxOQnHWf4dNr8Svg9NptLlTDLI5KawoYuep_e3hSR/s1600/Cornett+Mural01+2010-10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGhzW4rLkCCvzNEr5nPIo_4y7iBcFCtX1WeqeKzCzF6n0HDGV52cm0QwXrgLs_RISe_KEoLrnF6LHzUo17eInnf8zjpBKmxOQnHWf4dNr8Svg9NptLlTDLI5KawoYuep_e3hSR/s400/Cornett+Mural01+2010-10.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561402660764088130" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Admittedly, I've been a behind schedule on all the Blog Posts.

Having studied architecture at Virginia Tech, Huebner eventually came to realize that the confines of her concentration did not allow her the creative voice she was seeking. Through her art, Huebner is able to capture fleeting moments in a way that will enable others to learn, appreciate, and grow from them.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Encaustic painting – one of Huebner’s primary mediums – involves applying melted beeswax to a prepared surface, usually wood in Huebner’s case.

Our building, Pink Dog Creative, <span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.pinkdog-creative.com">www.pinkdog-creative.com</a></span>, sits in the heart of the district, and also houses the Asheville Arts Council, renowned artist Randy Shull, and other talented and committed artists. The RAD is the epicenter of Asheville's art scene and is emblematic of what art (and all creative endeavors) means to Asheville and surrounding region. The RAD hosts a bi-annual Studio Stroll which over the course of the weekend invites the public to view and purchase work from the hundreds of artists housed in these studios. The art scene is a real source of pride for locals and an asset to this community.</span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >In addition to my own studio work in the district, the school I founded, Roots + Wings School of Art, holds custom art studio sessions and art workshops at this location. Root and Wings School of Art serves in many capacities and offers classes by myself and other RAD artists, to kids, adults and families. It was my intent to bring together these talented artists and be the conduit that allows them to share their passion and skill with others.</span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" > </span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >Q: We have read about how you strive to represent events and emotions through your artwork.

First, we begin with a conversation to explore their ideas for the piece. I ask for descriptive words, colors, dates, imagery that might be significant, places / maps, etc... Then I spend time creating a preliminary sketch with colored pencil and pen that my client can comment on. I then create the layout of the piece with actual imagery, text, etc... and send a photo of this to my client. Again, they are welcome to comment on changes they might like to see, or present new ideas that have been sparked by the process. Finally, I go ahead and create the final work. It is always a fulfilling and unique experience. For most artists, this may seem an unorthodox approach, but my work has always been about connections.</span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" > </span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >Q: You graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in architecture.

I credit my years there with learning how to think creatively, learning how to truly see things differently, and developing confidence in my creative talents. Specifically, the combination of my second year professor Mark Blizzard's spontaneous gift of a set of chalk pastels along with learning from his inspiring teaching methods (and his own beautifully crafted drawings) sent me down a path that has led me where I am today. As my third, fourth and fifth years unfolded, my own 'drawings' became another language for expressing not only my studio projects, but translating other elements of my life. I don't think I have ever really verbalized this until now, but in many ways, my early professional career as an architect (listening to clients ideas, shaping them into a uniquely personal work of "art", letting them be an integral part of the creative process) has also shaped my artwork. </span></span></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQM52Ej3ZB63hx9WPnYgpSP03BNyskzNFkFrlb3Lr6lctbq3jW2ANKY8aitvQWX0IXGMCWZrCy6E8Uvyqwk0ZtoOVFbet8Wk3BWjXNxtWDujV1JFkQ8j9CGkc0706wdLlLGtS5/s1600/Huebner1.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQM52Ej3ZB63hx9WPnYgpSP03BNyskzNFkFrlb3Lr6lctbq3jW2ANKY8aitvQWX0IXGMCWZrCy6E8Uvyqwk0ZtoOVFbet8Wk3BWjXNxtWDujV1JFkQ8j9CGkc0706wdLlLGtS5/s400/Huebner1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533517310426645442" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 369px; height: 400px; " /></a></span></span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >"Expand" Collage, Encaustic on Wood 15"x16"</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >Q: We have a number of your encaustic pieces here at the PONSHOP.

Encaustic provides a way to layer the collage elements with translucency as well as be a tactile protector of the piece. The process involves melting the medium, applying it with a brush, then re-heating it with a heat gun. You can infinitely adjust the texture and thickness of the encaustic medium. Since my work of collage and pastel is largely 2-dimensional, the addition of the encaustic medium adds dimension to the work that I could not otherwise achieve, as well as providing opportunities for carving into or adding texture.</span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><span class="Apple-style-span" > </span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >Q: Throughout your years as a student and artist, did you have any mentors who assisted or influenced your work?</span></b></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >A: As I mentioned above, Professor Mark Blizzard was certainly one of my first mentors. The artwork he was creating at the time directly influenced my own experimentation. Also, I had the pleasure and privilege to meet and spend a weekend with Sambo Mockbee between my second and third years of school. He greatly influenced me on an emotional and 'bigger vision' level, which I will always carry with me. The final two years in school at Virginia Tech's Washington-Alexandria Architecture Consortium, Ron Kagawa and Susan Piedmont-Palladino were both elemental in moving my work beyond the pure emotional toward work with greater depth and clarity. Artists Romare Bearden and Joseph Cornell are meaningful inspirations. </span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><span class="Apple-style-span" > </span></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >Q: It seems that the work we have featured at the PONSHOP alludes to reflections on the environment and the natural world.
