A graduate of VCU with a BFA in Painting and Printmaking, she teaches at several venues including the new Visual Art Center at the Globe, the Miles B. Carpenter Museum, and Chesterfield Adult Education. A Chester resident, she says that she enjoys what she does with a passion and hopes she can always continue to renew that creative spark not only within herself, but her students. Of her recent work, she says: "Most of the paintings I have been working on this year have been a challenge for me. I was looking for a different way to express the way I paint landscapes. What I decided to do was to paint the landscapes on a board or canvas that I built up the underlying texture on. Then after layering the color with a few brushes, continue to build up the color and texture with palette knives. I find that this brought a renewed excitement to the process of my landscape painting." 6:00-9:30 pm. Don’t miss!

Art Underfoot
On the sidewalks in the 200-block of North Sycamore Street; for information call Kimberly Ann Calos at (804) 586-1633, or email her at kimberlyanncalos@aol.com
New Public Art: Original works of art created by some of the premier artists in the area—on historic Old Town sidewalks. More than fifty artists have painted nore than sixty concrete "canvasses" with designs ranging from abstract to realistic, creating a carpet of color that connects Old Town to the newest venues for local art further south on Sycamore Street. Participants could be dubbed Petersburg’s "Rainbow Coalition" not only because of the vibrant hues that now adorn the once ugly and cracked sidewalks, but because of the diversity of the painters themselves. They range in age from infant to 70 and are a kaleidoscope of ethnicities, beliefs, and professions. For some, art is their sole livelihood; for most it is their favorite pastime. Some folks painted one piece, others several. Some worked on their designs for days and days; others were done in a few hours; most came from Petersburg; others from Richmond, Hopewell, Colonial Heights, Matoaca, Chester, Midlothian, Disputanta, Charlottesville,West Point, and Ettrick. Students from VCU, VSU, and Blandford Academy participated. Some artists have disabilities but all are tremendously talented visionaries who transformed images from sketches, photographs, or their imaginations onto the rock-hard, bumpy surface with seemingly little effort. All of the artists donated their time and talents. Organized by Kimberly Ann Calos, Gail McCann, Barry Roebuck, and Mark Pehanich, in collaboration with the City of Petersburg, Franklin Development Corporation (who donated $1,000), and Palmore Decorating Center (who provided the paint at cost). Don’t miss!

Petersburg Area Art League
7 E. Old St., (804) 861-4611, www.paalart.com, open Tuesday-Saturday, 12 noon to 6 pm
Opening Reception: Main Gallery: Advanced Glassworking: Coefficiency of Expansion. Work by the Advanced Glass students of Virginia Commonwealth University, as they share how they’ve stretched, pulled, melted, molded, fused and pressed glass from its raw, liquid form into a survey of work titled the COEFFICIENCY OF EXPANSION. All thirteen students in this class are bound together by their fascination with glass as an artistic material, but that’s where the collective imagination stops, and their individual creativity takes over. All pieces vary in technique, formal quality, and concept, as each student has his or her own feeling of working with glass: ". . . Unforgiving and seductive . . . . A ghostly representation of mundane objects . . . . A reflection of femininity and beauty . . . . A way to unite found and discarded objects . . . ." Like working at the potter’s wheel, with this material there are always plaster-disasters, happy accidents, and impeccable outcomes. It is the mastering of the technical steps and hardships involved in glass working that have gotten each of these students hooked. It is a material like no other, as it continues to challenge and bedazzle, breathing new interests and life into the works created. Artists represented in this exhibition will be Joan Biddle, Andy Cobb, Rose DeRatto, Brittany Felter, Vanessa Fernandez, Lindsey Ferrar, Erika Koch, Kiersten Marshall, Julian May, Erin Quinlan, Meghan Resler, Ryan Tanner, and Kristi Totoritis. The VCU faculty member for the class is Sayaka Suzuki. Don’t miss!
