“As Things Are.“ 36 x  48 inches. Acrylic on canvas.  2017
Katherine Johnson    Here and Now
Today is where I want to be in this life, for better or for worse. Painting is my grappling with the reality of the present moment and how to live in it.

Wynne Reynolds   Words that Wound: The Language of Misogyny
A visualization of the effect of language on thought, from the forgotten vocabulary of our ancestors to current phrases that create harmful perceptions of femininity. Wynne’s amalgam of traditionally masculine hardware and feminine fiber arts reminds us that such stereotypes are artificial, in fact “man made.” A combination of 2-D and 3-D works, as well as audience participation pieces, creates a dynamic show not to be missed.

Juror:  Dr. Gwen Chanzit, Curator Emerita, Denver Art Museum, Professor of the Practice and Director of Museum Studies, School of Art and Art History, University of Denver.
