ARTIST DEMONSTRATION<\/p>\n

“Jane Davies: Fresh Paint, Works in Progress”
\nArtist Demonstration at Edgewater Gallery
\nat the Falls in Middlebury
\nSaturday, February 3, 11AM-3PM<\/h2>\n

This free artist demonstration is an opportunity for viewers to observe abstract painter Jane Davies\u2019 dynamic artistic process as she creates her colorful mixed media compositions.<\/p>\n

Jane Davies says about her work:<\/em>
\nMy process involves a back-and-forth play between spontaneous, intuitive mark-making, and careful deliberation and intention: I think of it as letting things happen, and making things happen. I make a move, and then the painting reveals something new to respond to. Each move changes the whole piece and sets up a new set of challenges. It takes practice and continued effort to stay present to this dialog and not get carried away by the desire for a quick result or an easy resolution. It requires trust in my own intuitive responses, and a willingness to not-know, to not have the route laid out like a road map.<\/p>\n

I usually start a piece either by getting some color down on the surface with paint, and then start adding collage elements, or the other way around: starting with collage, and then adding paint. I generally build layers of collage and paint this way until the piece is almost finished. Then I put it aside for at least a day in order to look again with fresh eyes and see what it needs.<\/p>\n

About Jane Davies:<\/em>
\nA former potter and designer of textiles and paper goods, Jane Davies is a full-time artist, teacher, and writer, now working in collage, paint, and encaustic. She maintains a studio in Rupert and teaches workshops there and nationwide. Her book, Abstract Painting: The Elements of Visual Language<\/em>, is available through Edgewater Gallery.<\/p>\n
