Nipped up to Derry to see Art Arcadia’s latest exhibition curated by the wonderful @paola.bee and featuring a video and sculptural paper work by my bestie @gailfm it was well worth the trip. Loved this work by Pascale Steven - herself and Gail suitably in the naughty corners. Great to catch up with some art pals. #contemporaryirishart #exhibition #artarcadia #gailmahon #pascalesteven #artlife #contemporaryart #making #performance #nomoremonkeybusiness #installationart #installationartwork #irishart #irishartists #derry #londonderry #artpals #artistslife #northernireland #northernirelandart #staugustineschurch https://www.instagram.com/p/Boobn9Ogzfo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g74t8l08lzyg

Hey there! This is my painter friend Ellen Burgin @ellenburgin (swipe to see her work). We had a fun studio visit and talked about our work and the art world, things that inspire us, upcoming projects, family, and so much more. We took this selfie in front of a commission that I was finishing up, and it was nice to have a second set of painterly eyes on the piece before I sent it out into the world. Ellen and I are comrades in our love of color and use of frisky shape and pattern. But we part ways when it comes to approach. Her paintings are built with loose gestural brush strokes and layered bold shapes. I just love the immediacy of her work. Oh, btw, you can see more of Ellen’s work at the upcoming @superfineartfair in March 3-6, 2022 @fortmasoncenter. Hope to see you there! Images: * Me and @ellenburgin in the studio. * Fertile Crescent by Ellen. We both had work in an exhibition called Wild Lands curated by the ever-groovy artist @ginatuzzi for Arts Alliance an organization created by @jentoughgallery in Santa Fe * Details of my commission titled Inside the Land of Magic (more on that soon;) #artpals #studiovisit #talkingart #exchangingideas #painters #contemporaryart #acrylicpainting #shapeandform #colorful #landscapeabstract #abstractpainter #sanfranciscoartists #oaklandartist #carrielederer (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZSw9BQPoe7/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s such a gift to have a studio visit with an art pal that leaves you inspired and uplifted. Mel Prest is one of those special unicorns who does it all—she’s an amazing artist, a curator and educator, and all around amazing human being. Thank you for the heartwarming visit! We talked about our daily art practice, her incredible show @kimperialfineart, our love of the natural world and the Bay, climate change in Cali, our families—the whole ball of wax. Feeling so grateful…🙏 I can’t wait to see what’s up in Mel’s studio next month, stay tuned! 🍃💚🍃 @mel_prest_k #artpals #artworldwomen #contemporaryart #natureinspiredart #theshapeofnature #californiaart #surreallandscape #landofmagic #bayareaartists #contemporarypainters #studiovisits #artpractice #carrielederer (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-s23ihw0V/?utm_medium=tumblr
