Art show at the DreamLight Gallery Nov. 1 - Dec. 13

I just wanted to let you know about the art show I have coming up. It's at the DreamLight Gallery in Englewood NJ. It's a new gallery showing my work for 6 weeks beginning November 1 at 6 pm. I'll be showing about 25 pieces of my abstract figure and equine artwork. The press release and poster is below.

---Press Release---
The works of NJ artist Nancy Soulliard will be featured at the New Light Art Exhibit at DreamLight Gallery, 150 Engle Street in Englewood, NJ. The opening reception is November 1 at 6pm. The show will run through December 13, 2008. The exhibit includes a collection of painterly montages of the human and equine subject radiating energy, texture and form.

Nancy Soulliard’s passion for horses began as a young girl in Pennsylvania. Receiving an Associates Degree in Equine Science from Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, PA, Nancy began her exploration of form and figure. In 1999, she earned a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts (Communication Design/Illustration) at Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, working primarily in pastel, watercolor and acrylic. In 2006, Nancy joined the Equine Art Guild and began actively showing figurative and equine artwork. Currently, residing in Clifton, New Jersey with her husband, dog and horse not too far away.

This unique collection offers selections that are perfect for home or business, reasonably priced to reflect the challenges of the current economy. Homemade refreshments will be offered.

DreamLight Gallery provides a venue for local artists to show their work in a space primarily used as a photo studio and marketing office. The ambiance of the gallery floor is unique; complimented by two candle-lit fireplaces, ornate moulding, hardwood floors, 12 ft high tin ceilings within a Victorian building built in 1850 located the boutique section of Englewood. Designed and operated by photographer Frank Aiello, its purpose is to encourage forums of artistic stimuli, and to offer the public exceptional works of art for every budget.

St. John view and new art show

We returned from St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands last week. We had a wonderful time on a beautiful island. I painted this small watercolor while sitting on the deck of our house one morning. Our house was called Grandview and you can certainly see why. That's the view overlooking Cruz Bay.

I also have another show coming up on Saturday September 22. The skateboard show that's currently at Avenue.A is moving to the new york-tokyo music festival for the day. It's a big skateboarding and music festival in Central Park.

Reflections Equine Art Show

My artwork is showing in an online equine art show sponsored by the Equine Art Guild. In this show you were to have 2 pieces– one you created before joining the Equine Art Guild and one after you joined showing how you've improved or changed through your affiliation with the Guild. I chose one watercolor I did years ago of Rose chasing Thief down the fence and the second was from the show in Maine last fall where I used the driven horse as the subject for some abstract pieces. It's a really interesting grouping of artwork that shows the growth and changes in many artists since they joined this group. I've certainly gotten a lot out of the Equine Art Guild after joining just 2 years ago.

And it's really cool that my artwork was used in the banner too. :)

The banner above links to the show but here's the actual link if that doesn't work for you.

It's in alphabetical order. My work is on page 4 at the bottom.

Treedancers Skateboard

So I finished my skateboard! You can see where I went from the original sketch. The bottom of the board has some tree roots on it that are kind of obscured by the bent end of the board. It was painted in glazes of acrylics and some shellac. I tend to use a good bit of shellac I suppose. I think it's an underused medium. If you're in NYC on Thursday August 30, come down to the show at Avenue.A. My friend Rosa's skateboard will be hanging in the show as well. The flyer with all of the details is in a previous post. This skateboard is for sale as well.

Next weekend we're heading off on vacation and I'm bringing my watercolors. Hopefully I'll have some lovely plein air island paintings for you when I get back.

Avenue.A Art Show

Some of my abstract figure work is showing at the Avenue.A Japanese Restaurant Art Gallery at 103 Avenue A in New York. The opening was on Thursday August 2 and the show runs until the end of August. I attached a photo of what I have there. To see larger versions of these, you can go to my website at www.nancysoulliard.com and click on the link for Drawing & Painting then the Figures link. And they're all for sale if you're interested.

My work will also be in the show after this on August 30. The flyer is below. I'll be painting a skateboard. It should be fun! I'll upload a pic once I have it done.
