Message from Angela

Forgive me folks…as I have not written in a while. I have been wildly neglectful of my newsletter. Last year was a bit of a rough year as my family suffered a lost and I had to take care of family business. As I grieve the loss, I cannot help but think this is a rebirth for me in all things. I want to make things simple and impactful in my life. What comes to my mind is just to keep working and keep creating. So, that’s what I will do. The new year is exciting and holds lots of creative adventures for me.

What’s happening…New Work

Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) Annual Exhibition 2024…Earth Moving

Since I sold 2 pieces at RoCo 6×6 show this year, they invited me to send a piece for their Annual Exhibition. I was just finishing Earth Moving so packed it up and sent it on.

Earth Moving (2024)

So, Earth Moving will run for $300. As you know, I have talked about my viable pricing before which is that I adhere to practices in the studio that keep my prices lower and more affordable. I think this is important in this day and age.

The show is running – December 6, 2024 – February 15, 2025 through RoCo Art Center. So, you can purchase from them during that time. If you do, then 25% will go to support this art center and then 75% will go to my studio. It is really a win-win.

Painting & Digital Surface Designs

Project section on the website

I’ve been pulling together materials to present as a “Project” section on the website. This is a way to consolidate the creative process and research projects that I complete. Check out this section here – https://angelaheathart.com/projects/

Opening my Painting Studio again

The last time I painted was in 2017. So much life has happening since then. My time lapse in painting wasn’t really because of being busy. It was because I just felt that I had nothing to say. My recent Earth series has really inspired me to re-explore some of the last paintings packed away in my garage. I have been sketching my ideas for what I want to explore with my painting in the coming year.

Working on new digital surface designs

My goodness, it has been a long while. Actually, I’ve been creating surface designs on and off for the past few years. I am finally ready to release a small collection of designs and prototype them as fabric at Spoonflower. I’ve been organizing my collections in my online Spoonflower store and working on branding my surface designs as a separate effort. For a long time, I’ve been looking to split off my digital surface designs and present them across various platforms. So more to come on this endeavor.
