I recently went to the "Art Heals" show at the Da Vinci Art Alliance in Philadelphia. The show was hosted by the Artistic Circle, and showcased last years winners of Art Heals.
What an awesome show and a great gallery space. I met so many wonderful people including Jenna the director of the Artistic Circle and her husband.

I been doing research on different lighting materials, since I'm trying to make this light sculpture. I've even asked a few of the guys from the exhibits department at work for advice. One suggested checking out this artist Olafur Eliasson who works with light. His art is totally inspiring. I love they way he uses light to create an intimate atmosphere that surrounds you. This is the experience that I've been looking to create in my work.

If you haven't checked out this guys work I suggest you do, because its wonderful!

Today my paintings received "Special Recognition" for abstract painting by Light Space & Time online gallery. Last month I entered the 2012 Abstract Art competition. Though I didn't win the grand prize, I am very honored to be a part of the exhibition. Thank you Light Space & Time gallery for the recognition!

Light

Spending my day off working on some drawings of a light sculpture I want to build. I know exactly how I want it to look, shape, size colors. I can see the whole thing in my head. I just need to figure our how to use the materials I want to work with. Looks like i'll be doing a lot of research today on LEDs, Neon and plastic tubing!
