WPW Monthly Members’ Meeting

Speaker: IVA GUEORGUIEVA

April 10 at 1 pm

https://www.theodosia-marchant.com/

Her multi-media experiments are conscious strategies questioning the boundaries of mediums and her relationship to techniques, materials, identities, and histories of resistance. Using collage to disrupt the “terrain” physically and conceptually, she makes painting environments and intricate relief paintings that widen the scope of being embodied and living in connection. Her project constructs visual experiences that are intensely tactile: open to physical interaction and play, collaboration, and joy.

Speaker: Andrea Moni

May 8 at 1 pm (a short presentation)

https://www.andreamoni.com/

In 2015 Andrea was seriously burned in a traumatic accident and the impetus of her work shifted towards collaboration and healing.

Lately Andrea has been working on a series of large-scale canvas paintings using organic earth pigments, the natural flow of water, and egg tempera (a very permanent technique utilizing non-toxic materials). She not only addresses issues of sustainability by carefully selecting and minimizing the use of raw materials but more importantly, Moni collaborates with individuals who have also experienced trauma. Together at the ocean shore, they create movable tapestries that later become the backgrounds for the finished piece.

Speakers: MEET THE NEW MEMBERS

JUNE 12 at 1 pm

See and hear from each new member about her work.

Future books
March 20 -” Oil and Marble: A Novel of Leonardo and Michelangelo” by Stephanie Storey
With extraordinary empathy into the minds and souls of the two great Renaissance artists, Storey offers a stunning art history thriller. From 1501 to 1505, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti both lived and worked in Florence. Leonardo was a charming, handsome fifty year-old at the peak of his career. Michelangelo was a temperamental sculptor in his mid-twenties, desperate to make a name for himself.
