Spring has Sprung!

If you have spring fever you are in the right place. We have plenty of readings, art exhibitions and fresh artwork to listen to, and to see.

Magic Savanna - Lion, Baby and Mommy Gazelle presents ideas surrounding lust, love, sacrifice, and acceptance. Like all of Kathleen Zimmerman’s animal tales/poems, bring along your sense of humor, and love for all living creatures.

In the studio, Kathleen Zimmerman finished the drawing, Lunar Lovers. It is the sixth in her Universe Series that uses a variety of animals to represent life as they ponder the latest scientific theories concerning the Universe. In Lunar Lovers, this loving couple finds themselves living in a cave on the Moon while the Sun and the Earth are seen in the distance. Will happiness truely be found by leaving their home planet?

Kathleen Zimmerman’s full collection of YinYang drawings is finally finsihed, and ready for exhibition. This lovely series was started during her residency in China. She lived there for five years, gaining an appreciation, and better understanding, of this rapidly changing ancient culture. This series consists of twenty-six pairs, one pair for every letter in the alphabet. Each pair shows two ways of looking at an idea, or place. For the titles, dimensions and a better look, go to the menu on this website, and select drawing. They along with China, the first drawing Kathleen created in China. All of these images make up a lovely book, titled China Through An Artist’s Eyes, which is shown above. It presents the YinYang Series along with the ideas behind each drawing. It can be previewed by following this link: https://www.blurb.com/b/11514233-china-through-an-artist-s-eyes .

Magic Savanna - Elephant, Hyenas, and Birds presents ideas about ‘live and let live’ as long as one has ‘consideration for the rest of us all’.

‘Word-Art’

DATE: April 21 - MAY 20, 2023

Location: Gallery on the Green

Theme: The concept for the “Word-Art” show is to explore the synergy between writing and the visual arts. The show may include paintings or sculpture that incorporate text or were inspired by the written word; it may include written pieces inspired by visual arts; or it may include pieces of video art, dance, or theater. We envision a show that will exhibit all media, and may include screenings, readings, and the publication of a chapbook of the written work.

Kathleen’s poem Bear, Porcupine and Me and her intaglio print Zoo Series - Forest will be in this exhibition.

March-ing Onward

March started with Kathleen Zimmerman reading one of her animal tales/poem Bird, Wolf and Deer. This poem plays with ideas surrounding acceptance, and empathy. Click on the arrow below.

On March 8th, we released a short video/power point presentation, which Kathleen Zimmerman was asked to make for an upcoming interview. This interrview will be available in May both here, and on the National Association of Women Artists channel (@theNAWA) as well as Kathleen’s new channel (@kathleenzimmermanartist) on YouTube. The National Association of Women Artists organization is the oldest national women artists group in the United States. Kathleen is a signature member. Note: The recording was quieter so be sure to turn up volume on this one.

On March 10th, Kathleen finished the drawing Wolf, which is the third in her Blockhead Series. This series looks at the aesthetic beauty of forms in the natural world and abstract forms. Like the other two drawings, Otters and Monkey, it will be the basis for a small edition hand-made serigraph that we plan on releasing later this year.

On March 20th Kathleen Zimmerman read her animal tales/poem Beavers, Squirrel and Bird. This poem expresses the need for coexistence with others for a better life. Listen by clicking on the arrow below.

We hope you enjoy these creations! Feel free to contact us to let us know what you think, or if you want more information.

Monkeys, Boa, and Crocodile... Birds... Bear, Porcupine, and Me... Oh My!

Kathleen Zimmerman released two new readiings from her Magic Circles Series of animal tales/poems in February. Magic Jungle - Monkeys, Boa and Crocodile was the first and was shared on February 4th. This fun two minute reading plays with ideas surrounding age, and taking care of one another.

The above images are of Kathleen’s latest drawings. Salt and Fresh. They are the first pair in a new series playing with ideas concerning equals by celebrating their differences, and their common traits. The use of charcoal along with the graphite give them an added contrast, and texture, which is unique to this series.

Magic Forest - Bear, Porcupine and Me was the second reading and was shared on February 20th. This sweet two minute reading plays with ideas exploring different living creatures shared, and unique, characteristics.

In the above image we are showing a detailed view of Sweet Dream, to help you see the sheep, and the emerging figure, that are done in relief as part of the base that the figure is fused to. This sculpture plays with the connection between our unconscious and our conscious mind.
