Peggy Kirkwood tells The Rickie Report how she was able to arrange  partnering with the Georgia Watercolor Society for this premiere workshop with Pat Dews.  Peggy said,”During our COVID-19 reopening, while preparing for my Online LIVE! ZOOM watercolor classes, I’ve been admiring Pat Dews “Discoveries in Watermedia” book along with multiple images I’ve come across in past issues of Palette Magazine and Watermedia Focus by Skip Lawrence and Christopher Schink. I came across an article about Pat Dews and began reading. The article mentioned she lived in Hobe Sound at the time. I think the article was written back in 1995 or so. I emailed Pat to ask her if she might be interested in doing a workshop with The New Studio in 2021. The very next day Pat called me in tears. A new friendship was immediately formed”!

Peggy continues, “Pat said, in tears, “You have no idea of what you’ve just done!” I’m thinking, “She’s in tears ut oh…What have I just done?” Pat explained that she has never been involved with the South Florida Artist Community because she travels so much doing her workshops throughout the world. She and her husband just signed a contract on their home of over 45 years in the North East. Pat and her best friend have shared a studio in this Northeastern town and have painted during the summers together over this 45 year period. She cannot travel north to pack up her home and studio because of the COVID virus. All of her workshops have been cancelled through the end of the year due to the virus. She was so happy to hear about The New Studio. I explained to Pat that we were just down US1 in Jupiter and now open with social distancing and wearing masks. I invited Pat to come to the Studio on Friday of the week to see our space and how I am set up for my Online LIVE! Zoom classes. I suggested we could possibly partner with her and the other organizations to do her workshops from The New Studio via ZOOM Online LIVE!. Pat’s first cancelled workshop was to be in August”.

 

 

“Unnamed” by Pat Dews

 

It was organic, as Peggy describes, “Pat came to the Studio, loved the space, loved the light,  and enjoyed meeting our “Social Distancing with Masks” students. We scheduled a ZOOM meeting with Viviane Van Giesen, the new President of the Georgia Watercolor Society. Another friendship immediately formed”!

 

“Viviane saw our set up via ZOOM and suggested she meet with her Board of Directors to see if they would be interested in reinstating the workshop and offering it Online LIVE with Zoom from The New Studio. I’m pleased to let you know Pat is doing a LIVE! Opening Ceremony Awards Presentation on August 22nd for GWS’s Member Show Opening along with a 3 day “Abstracting Nature” workshop via ZOOM and NSVA on Aug. 27, 28, 29, 2020. Times for the workshop are 9 am to 12 pm. The cost is $200.00. Registration is through GWS”.

 

 

The excitement continues!  Peggy shares, “In addition, Pat will be doing another workshop via ZOOM and NSVA with an organization in Indiana sometime in Oct. 2020 along with another workshop to be announced soon!  Pat called me last week to tell me, “I just want you to know that you are never getting rid of me!” Such an amazing blessing and opportunity for future collaborations creating win/win situations for all!!! I truly believe this was not a coincidence but by the Grace of God”!

 

Pat Dews shares, “Rather than painting the realistic image before me, I paint the abstract essence of my subject. I am drawn to the abstract shapes and textures of flowers, rocks, water, bridges, old and rusted metal and crumbled walls.  In my three day online workshop, streamlined with Zoom through the New Studio for the Visual Arts, Inc. in Jupiter, FL we will cover much ground.  The main focus is design, which is everything. Through lectures, demos and design projects, students will learn how to compose paintings based on the Principles and Elements of Design. Critiques of my paintings in progress will significantly help you on your painting journey. 

 

I love to share what I know and help make better painters.  I give 150 % and students often tell me, that they never work the same again.  There will be an opportunity after the workshop to have private critiques with Pat from her home through FaceTime.
Hoping you join us for a dynamic journey”.

Lighthouse ArtCenter Satellite Exhibition, “Art Of The Figure” Opens On the 22nd Floor Capitol Gallery, Tallahassee, FL, Featuring Sam Perry, Terre Rybovich, Purvis Young

Posted on May 10th, 2018 • Category: Acrylic, Art, art event in Leon County FL, Art in Public Spaces, Florida State Capitol Gallery Tallahassee FL, Galleries, Lighthouse Art Center, Local News and Events, Mixed Media, Museums, Oil, Pastel/Drawing, Polymer Clay, Pottery/Ceramics, Water Color, Weaving/Fabric Art, Wood

If you’re traveling to the State Capitol this summer be sure to visit the artwork of three native born Floridians who surprise and delight us with their entirely unexpected viewpoints, talents and techniques. The Lighthouse ArtCenter, based in Tequesta, is proud to present these important testaments to our shared humanity. These accomplished artists translate their individual life experiences using only pencils and paint on paper and canvas, or in the case of Purvis Young, anything he could get his hands on. Highlighted are: Sam Perry, Terre Rybovich, and Purvis Young (Florida Artist Hall Of Fame, 2018).   The Rickie Report shares the details and some sneak peeks. Many thanks to Janeen Mason for curating this seminal exhibit, available now through August 31st.

Sam Perry

 

Sam Perry grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida, and is now one of the area’s most accomplished artists. He achieved success as an abstract artist in galleries in Miami, New York and elsewhere. Then, in the wake of 9/11, Sam chose to focus on the human figure. “It was a paradigm shift for me,” he explained. “I became more aware of humanity and its frailty.”

Sam is an active proponent of the arts in his community. A member of the faculty of the Armory Art Center since 1987, he is now the longest- serving person there. He also taught art at Florida Atlantic University, Palm Beach Atlantic University and Dreyfoos School of the Arts, in addition to giving private lessons.

Sam received all of his education in Florida. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Art at Ringling College of Art and Design and his Master of Fine Art at Florida Atlantic University.

“I like to draw in public spaces because it connects me to my community.” Sam added, “Palm Beach county is significant to the arts in Florida and becoming more so as the population continues to grow and evolve into sophisticated art-lovers.”

Sam Perry is the recipient of the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship. His work has appeared in numerous solo exhibitions and is collected by museums, universities and private patrons.

 

 

Terre Rybovich

 

Each of these large drawings began with Terre Rybovich charcoaling the entire surface of the paper and then lying down on it. The idea came to her years ago while delirious with the flu. “Drawing backwards” is how it initially presented itself. In other words, she removes charcoal to create an image instead of adding charcoal to paper.

Focused on figurative work, the body seemed like the most promising means for removing charcoal. The imprints are subtle but powerful, even edifying. She explains an unexpected outcome of this technique is how the mind reacts when confronted with creative input that it did not generate. Every new drawing requires a period of slow absorption, or acquiescence, before the mind can yield to the body’s input. Then the imprint guides the process of completing the drawing.

Ultimately, the result of the body calling the shots at the drawing board is that she creates artwork that the mind could not have imagined. This means she works in a state of perpetual wonder.

Other artists have imprinted their art with their bodies since the earliest cave paintings. What captivates us is the unadulterated impact of this most literal means of making the immaterial material— which is the essence of art.

Terre’s formal education covered politics and economics. Her first career was in social justice activism and grant-making. That activist experience forged an enduring commitment to this world. It also instilled a courageous drive that she channels into art-making where she is happiest when she ventures beyond what is known.

She is the daughter of Tommie Rybovich, the noted boat designer and builder. Ms. Rybovich proudly claims an inheritance of self-guided vision and ambition for the work.

 

Purvis Young 1943-2010

Inducted into the Florida Artist Hall of Fame 2018

 

Born in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood, visual artist Purvis Young is most associated with the Overtown neighborhood where he settled in the 1960s. A major figure in the world of “Outsider Art,” his work may be found in the collections of the American Folk Art Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the High Museum of Art, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as Overtown’s Black Archives History and Research Foundation of South Florida, among many others.

A prolific creator, Young served three years in prison as a teenager, where he began drawing and studying art books from the prison library. “I didn’t have nothing going for myself,” he said. “That’s the onliest thing I could mostly do. I was just looking through art books, looking at guys painting their feelings.”

His work, highly influenced by Western art history, is colorful and vibrant, often serving as social critique and a call to action for social justice. Young painted and drew on a multiplicity of objects including found wood, discarded cardboard, doors, old utility bills, and printed pages from books. His installation “Good Bread Alley” consisted of multiple works affixed to the walls of a vacant alley in Overtown. Artworks were often sold or removed, then replaced with new works, and the installation/mural soon attracted the attention of the media and Bernard Davis, owner of the Miami Art Museum, who became an early patron, providing art supplies to the artist.

LAUGHING OUT LOUD  Annette Margulies

 

 

N.A.W.A. is the oldest professional women’s fine arts group in the United States, and The Florida Chapter of N.A.W.A. was the first regional chapter in the country. It was founded in 1995 by Liana Moonie, recently deceased resident of Palm Beach, a past president of the national organization and Madeline Weiss, who was the first president of the Florida Chapter. All artists wishing to join the prestigious Florida Chapter must first be juried into the Association Headquarters in New York City.
