Hallie Rae Ward: ART

Water Wheel Mixed Media 3' - This piece is currently available at Gallery 701 at the Long Center. PM if you are interested! - I am interested in power - whether it is the power of relationships or the literal interpretation of power that makes things run. This piece is my take on the water wheel that has played such a major role in our history, from the windmills that provided water to the rural communities, to the paddle-boats navigating through the rivers. I have created this work for the viewer to spin, and have fun with the interaction it provides.

Hallie Beams: On & On Mixed Media 73" x 15" - This piece is currently available at Gallery 701 at the Long Center. PM if you are interested! - Everyone has a beam of light inside themselves, and that beam travels from you to each person you meet, going on and on. Everything we do involves people in one way or another. You have to discover what makes you happy, and extend that to others. In the meantime, like it or not, your life journey continues, and, with each step you take, you must decide who stays in your life, and when you need to move on. #hallieraeward #austinart

Waterfall Mixed Media 6' x 15" - This piece is currently available at Gallery 701 at the Long Center. PM if you are interested! - People have all types of experiences with their environment. A major relationship I have had throughout my life is with water. I grew up swimming in my parent’s pool, swimming in the Pedernales River, going to Port Aransas, Texas, and going to college in St. Petersburg, Florida. This piece plays with my sense of being connected to water, and seeing the energy of water in a new light. #hallieraeward #AustinArt #Gallery701 @longcenter @aftpgallery

My man, Stephone Brown, inspires me! Dancer - Videographer - Concept Director - One time he asked me to be in one of his music videos. This was the first time I had ever done something like this! It was such a great experience to experiment with another medium! He has such an incredible energy and I love his passion and drive!

Wanderlust Wednesday! On my big adventure to the South Pacific, I traveled to Fiji and stayed in Natewa Village for part of the time. One of my favorite things while saying there was relaxing on the porch. The people there were so welcoming and I love how family oriented they are. Thank you for sharing your home with me :) #travel #lovelife #lifeisgood (at Natewa, Northern, Fiji)

Serial Strip Tease linocut print 17" x 21" - This piece is currently available at Gallery 701 at the Long Center. PM if you are interested! - "It’s that young and fun aspect of a relationship. It’s fun and silly. It’s raw and natural. It’s lightweight. It’s pure." (at Long Center)

You & Me: Time Will Tell Mirror, watches, wood frame 16" x 20" "The true test of a relationship is time. Time will always tell. You have ups and downs with people, but time will determine if it is a good fit or not. At one point, you will decide whether a relationship is worth the journey it is taking you on. Are you willing to accept that person for who they are, and vice versa, or are they going to make the change you would like in order to make the relationship stand the test of time?" This piece is currently available at Gallery 701 at the Long Center. PM if you are interested! (at Long Center)
