LISA MYERS BULMASH, Erica Armstrong Dunbar, Ona “Oney” Judge and Mount Vernon

Inspired by historian Erica Armstrong Dunbar’s book “Never Caught: The Washingtons’ Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge”, Seattle-based artist LISA MYERS BULMASH created her collage series “Manticore and the Mermaid” centering on the self-liberation of Ona Judge in 1796, an enslaved woman who escaped from George and Martha Washington and was never caught.

Sneak Peek of ROSEMARY FEIT COVEY’s “Self Conscious” – opening Friday 2/13/15

About SELF

            CONSCIOUS:

In this new series of work, ROSEMARY FEIT COVEY explores expressions of sadness, grief and loss. Inherently a  narcissistic and self conscious construct, COVEY challenges the concept of “selfie” to a level of artistic and universal impact. She uses her own face during times of personal internal grief to replicate the emotions she has seen on the faces of others during periods of loss. This body of work is comprised of a combination of painting, photography, and printmaking based on the quick capture of her image.

About ROSEMARY FEIT COVEY (Washington, DC b. South Africa):

ROSEMARY FEIT COVEY was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. In a career spanning three decades she has exhibited internationally and received countless awards. Ms. Covey’s work is in many major museum and library collections, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the New York Public Library Print Collection, the National Museum of American History, Harvard University, the Papyrus Institute in Cairo and 512 works in the permanent collection of Georgetown University Library. There was recently a retrospective of Ms. Covey’s wood engravings and installation work on display at the Evergreen Museum in Baltimore.

Amy Morton curates INTO THE LIGHT : ESTHER YI and VICTORIA SHAHEEN at The Anthenaeum, Alexandria, VA

Morton Fine Art is pleased to curate Into the Light, an exhibition of artwork by Esther Yi and Victoria Shaheen at The Anthenaeum in Old Town Alexandria, VA. 

Curated by Amy Morton for Morton Fine Art.

Into the Light will be on display from Thurs, 8 December 2011 – Sun, 22 January 2012 at:

The Anthenaeum
201 Prince Street
Alexandria, VA 22314

The opening reception is Sunday, 11 December from 4-6pm. Both artists will be in attendance.

Gallery Hours:

Thursday, Friday and Sunday: 12pm – 4pm

Saturday: 1pm – 4pm

About Esther Meena Yi: 

(photography, Washington, DC):  Studied Fine Art Photography at the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Yi has an interest in working with existing images and exploring the use of black and white darkroom techniques to create a new image; images which allude to different content and context and that question the status of the original. The darkroom process she explores, mordançage, consists of a solution that makes the gelatin surface detach and pliable causing the degraded and veil-like aesthetic.

About Victoria Shaheen:

(ceramics; Washington, DC):  A recent graduate of the Corcoran College of Art + Design, Shaheen is currently pursuing an MA in Ceramics at the prestigious Cranbrook Academy of Art.  Shaheen’s accomplishments include the 2011 Fine Art Faculty Award for Recognition of Excellence in the Study of Fine Art andthe 2011 Anne and Ronald Abramson Award for Excellence in Ceramics. Her piece on exhibition White Light, White Heat, constructed in stark white porcelain that transforms the light, is in deliberate contrast to the classic architecture of the Anthenaeum.New ceramic installation work by Victoria Shaheen will be on display at MFA’s spring 2012 *a pop-up project, DC NOW, which will take place in Bethesda this April.

Amy Morton, Curator’s Notes:

As an advocate for emerging artists, I feel that it is vital to highlight and reward exceptional talent coming out of our nationally renowned art schools. In this case, the artwork of both Victoria Shaheen and Esther Yi piqued my interest last spring when I viewed Next at the Corcoran, the senior thesis exhibition for the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Primary to MFA’s mission of promoting national talent is a strong bent toward  launching regional talent into the national arena through various innovative art projects in the area.  Into the Light is a striking display of artistic mediums, featuring an oversize ceramic installation piece compromised of life-size light bulb clusters which cast shadows as well as a series of photographs that appropriate classical fine art images with unexpected scale, surface and technique. An emerging artist show of this caliber offers an exciting opportunity for collectors to view and acquire work ahead of the curve by these two exceptional young artists.
