SUMMARY:Kim White
DESCRIPTION:‘Parade of One’ by Kim White\nArtist’s Statement \nI am interested in how “story” works in our experience of ourselves. We are inherent story makers in the sense that our experiences become stories when they move to memory. Once an experience has passed it becomes an echo of itself; either fading away if we don’t note it\, or becoming a permanent part of the fabric of the perception of ourselves as we repeat the story\, consciously or unconsciously. In my work I want to capture\, not the specific details of a story\, but rather what it feels like as all the pieces and complexities of a story are in motion within us. In these works on paper\, I use water-based mixed media to explore a few different ways that we create story in our human experience. \nMuch as flower notes are brought to life in a perfume blend by “fecal” undertones (think Jasmine)\, I like to contrast bright color and joyful movement in my works with imagery that feels a little off or maybe uncomfortable. As we move through life trying to create happiness and peace\, we struggle with anxieties\, frustrations\, traumas\, secret fears and shames. I include these discomforts of existence in my work to bring light to them\, not letting them fester in the dark. They are a part of life. As we open to these darker parts of our stories\, releasing them to the day\, we can better allow ourselves to enjoy our successes and pleasures. \nBLACK GROUP – Subconscious Stories\nExplores dreams\, fears\, unexamined stories\, stories that run in the background of our awareness\, shaping our experiences of ourselves and reality. \n\n In the Dark 1\n In the Dark 2\n In the Dark 3\n\nWHITE GROUP – Conscious Stories\nDepicts the act of telling\, expressing our story. Stories that we actively tell ourselves\, or that we tell another\, and that we constantly express and recycle as we move through our days. \n\n Emergence (Self-talk)\n Parade of One\n Listen to Me\n\nSILVER GROUP – Fairy Tales and War Games.\nCompares and contrasts the stories of children’s worlds and grown-ups’ worlds. \n\n Little Spirit\n Neptune Picnic\n Inner Conflicts\n Holy Wars\n\nTEAL GROUP – Stories for Fun and Entertainment\nSometimes stories are told for enjoyment\, comic relief\, or simply relaying random\, strange\, funny\, or happy events. \n\n Cornucopia\n Beach Worm\n\n  \n  \n\nView the show on Artsy\n\n  \n\nPlease visit the Bull Run’s website for their hours of operation. This show is in the artist’s walkway at the Bull Run through December 2024.

SUMMARY:Priscilla Levesque
DESCRIPTION:‘Red House on the Harbor’ by Priscilla Levesque\nArtist’s Statement \n\nI am intrigued by the relationship between buildings and their surroundings\, and how light changes the appearance of brick\, wood\, stone or glass. When I go walking near my home in N. Chelmsford\, I watch for landscapes or houses which I can turn into an interesting composition. Rather than paint on location\, I take photos and then paint in my studio.I like this procedure because I can consider the  whole composition\, rather than dwelling on small details which may change quickly. \nFor the past several years I have used the pointillist technique\, which was developed by the French painter Georges Seurat in the 1880’s. He built up colors by juxtaposing tiny dots of various hues\, which merge together when seen from a distance.  In this technique of “optical mixing”\, the color mixture occurs in the eyes rather than on the palette. \nThe painting medium I use is casein\, which is an opaque water-base paint. The advantages are that casein dries fast\, needs no special solvents and\, since it is opaque\, colors can be overlaid very easily. For many years I used transparent watercolor which is tricky\, because once an area of paint is too dark\, it’s very difficult to fix. In my painting process I often change my mind\, and I find that color changes are quite easy with casein. \nView the show on Artsy\n\n\nPlease visit the Bull Run’s website for their hours of operation. This show is in the artist’s walkway at the Bull Run through November 2024.

SUMMARY:Peter Stultz
DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Statement \n\nI believe that art is a 3-way communication between the artist\, his work and the viewer. A photographer uses his artistic vision to place a frame around a scene in order to say to the viewer “Look what I see here”. He will then use whatever technical tools and skills he has at his disposal to emphasize his vision of the scene. In my photography I prefer to not make any significant changes to the scene through the addition or removal of parts of the photo\, but rather through emphasizing or lessening contrast\, saturation and sharpness to better share my vision. Those changes may be somewhat dramatic or more subtle. In some cases the results can blur the boundary between pure photography and painting which is why I prefer the term “photo art” rather than photography. My hope is that these enhancements serve to better communicate my feelings of the scene and provide a new perspective to the viewer.  \nView the show on Artsy\n\n\nPlease visit the Bull Run’s website for their hours of operation. This show is in the artist’s walkway at the Bull Run through December 2024.

SUMMARY:James Proctor
DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Statement \n\nMy brush strokes are fast and non-deliberate. I have no predetermined result. I paint how I feel at that moment. My paintings can be enjoyed up close. Most important is to take your time and let the painting emerge for you. \nView the show on Artsy \n\n\nPlease visit the Bull Run’s website for their hours of operation.
