Artists2artists Social Networking for Artists

Mary Ahern Artist Posted on June 9, 2021 by Mary AhernJune 9, 2021

As an artist member of the Artists2artists Social Network, I posted some of my work in their online gallery.

Their resident curator, Kristen T Woodward* saw my work and wrote about it. She has allowed me to share her review. 

Here is her review of my work:

It was a joy to discover your series of large-scale flower paintings on view this morning.  Subtle Exuberance- Tree Peony held my attention the longest, with it’s delicately curling petals, and contrasts of value.  The lower chroma hues within the areas of shadow- variations of brown and muted violets, are a surprising color scheme in the giant bloom.  The colors beautifully contrast with the complementary yellow center’s delicate stamens, which provides striking textural variation against the smooth petals. The abstraction of the flowers presented in large format grants them an otherworldly quality.  I find the peony works, including Worth the Wait are particularly effective in their restraint of color. Thank you for sharing your work. I look forward to viewing more over time.

Subtle Exhuberance – Tree Peony 36×36″ Oil on GW canvas

 

* This is Kristen Woodward’s bio:

My name is Kristen T Woodward, and I am the official resident curator for Artists2artists. Please view my short bio below:

A Professor of Art at Albright College in Pennsylvania, I have exhibited my mixed media paintings in over 200 venues since 2000.  I currently teach introductory through advanced levels of undergraduate printmaking & painting, including oil and water media, and encaustic. I have also team taught interdisciplinary courses on Latin American graphic art, and gender and the visual arts.

Guild Hall 83rd Artist Members Exhibition 2021

Mary Ahern Artist Posted on March 18, 2021 by Mary AhernMarch 18, 2021

Proud to be a Member Guild Hall in East Hampton NY.

Our annual Members Exhibition live this year! How exciting in the time of Covid that we can begin once again view art in person. It’s a very different experience than seeing art online.

Given the limitations, Guild Hall has done an outstanding job in creating a gallery walk through in 3D or in Augmented Reality for those who can not make it to see the exhibition in person. You can view the 3D walkabout online gallery tour at their website.

The in-person exhibition is on now through Saturday April 20, 2021

Guild Hall
158 Main Street
East Hampton NY 11937

You can book Covid compliant reservations by calling their office at 631-324-0506 M-F.
Drop-ins are also welcome though.

Due to the wonderful popularity of this exhibition, over 400 artists participate each year. In such esteemed company we were asked to limit the size of our artwork. To comply with their request I am showing my newly completed oil painting, “Waiting Patiently – Cherry Hibiscus”.

Painting my the artist, Mary Ahern.

“Waiting Patiently – Cherry Hibiscus” Oil on deep cradled hardboard. 12×12″. $850.


This is the blurb from the Guild Hall website:

This year Guild Hall celebrates its 90th Anniversary and its 83rd Artist Members Exhibition, and we are thrilled to announce Gagosian Director and Curator Antwaun Sargent as the awards juror.

The first Artist Members Exhibition took place in 1938, shortly after Guild Hall’s inception in 1931. The exhibition is the oldest non-juried show on Long Island and one of the few non-juried exhibitions still running. Deeply rooted in the history of the East End artist colony, early participants included Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Alfonso Ossorio, Perle Fine, Bill King, James Brooks, Charlotte Park, John Little and many more, showing their support of Guild Hall and its role as their community Museum, Theater, and Education Center.


Due to the wonderful popularity of this exhibition, over 400 artists participate each year. In such esteemed company we were asked to limit the size of our artwork. To comply with their request I am showing my newly completed oil painting, “Waiting Patiently – Cherry Hibiscus”.
