SHAWN CAMP: Equal and Opposite
Gallery Shoal Creek is pleased to present Equal and Opposite, a solo exhibition of new work by Austin artist Shawn Camp. The exhibition opens on Friday, October 17, with a reception for the artist from 6 to 8 pm. Equal and Opposite will be on view until November at the gallery's eastside location at the Flatbed Building.
In his newest exploration of light and surfaces, Camp continues to think in polarities as he addresses what arts writer Erin Keever calls "the existential back and forth of figuring out our place in the world."
"Equal and Opposite," says Camp, "is a collection of paintings that explore the boundary between the physical and the transcendent. Each is an aesthetic reaction to our tendency to comprehend reality through an elaborate construction of systems and precepts that divide our experience into diametric poles of existence."
The paintings in this show explore dualistic, cyclical relationships through translucent and reflective light and the application of geometry to the physical world. They portray earth and sky as an historical record of marks - our interpretation of which decodes our story. History exists on a grand scale through decisions and chance events that radically affect our place. And it continues in an unbroken line to the most intimate level through fragments of memories that enter our consciousness like a dream and can dissipate just as fast.
Included in the show are back-lit paintings that vacillate between transparency and opacity. In darkness, the physicality of the opaque white paint surrenders to the immateriality of translucent light. The prominent surface is simultaneously a solid wall and an innuendo of expanse.
Other works play on the exaggerated reflectivity of metallic paint and subtle transitions of color. Through the capriciousness of reflected light, heightened extremes of light and dark emerge from changing planes sculpted into the surface, mining veins that run between artifice and honesty.

Visual conversations, both personal and universal, pose thought provoking imagery in the exhibition of three Austin based artists: Marc Burckhardt, Rebecca Cohen, and Sydney Yeager. The work, diverse in style and medium, gives rise to a discussion of identity, conflict, and fragmentation.
Marc Burckhardt's paintings are at once foreign and familiar. His figurative paintings embrace tradition as a means to explore private realities and perhaps the larger American contemporary condition. Burckhardt is an artist with one foot planted in illustration, the other in art historical academia, poised to leap into his own brand of deeply personal art and symbolism. "I'm not interested in art for art's sake; I want to say something about identity. Instead of my work being dictated by external forces, it is more and more an internal conversation, something personal and even universal."
Rebecca Cohen's current works of small scale collages are first and foremost about the formal elements of composition, color and texture. Both writer and artist, Cohen combines diverse imagery borrowed from newspapers to create a new and unique whole, one that expresses, with empathy, concern for the chaos that is happening in the world. "I strive to make them painterly in appearance, luring viewers with their surface beauty before confronting them with intimate and sometimes painful detail. They are the stories of strangers made personal through my retelling."
Sydney Yeager's large abstract paintings suggest a state of suspension, where hierarchy yields to endless associations and connections. The idea of independent parts coalescing into a whole, only to collapse again into singular units is of particular interest to this contemporary painter who draws on the pages of art history-decaying frescos, Italian mosaics, pointillism, and process paintings, for example-as inspiration. "These diverse influences hold in common the theme of fragmentation. The question is whether these fragments are nostalgic reminders of a past presence, or conversely, the beginnings of a new form. The answer is never clear, which is why I remain interested in the question."

Gallery Shoal Creek presents an exhibition of two artists-Karina Hean + Erika Huddleston- who address the changing landscape. Hean's interest lies in nature's whole; Huddleston's in the urban environment. Featured in the late summer exhibition are Wonder/Wander, Hean's latest series of invented landscapes, and Huddleston's new series of large scale paintings, Views of Shoal Creek.
KARINA HEAN's artwork, grounded in drawing, explores responses to the landscape and encourages conversation about how we conserve, preserve, reshape and utilize our environment. Featured in the exhibition is her newest series, Wonder/Wander. The works on paper, she says, "draw on what is seen and thought while wandering, often by walking, in open space. I imagine the floating landforms in several of the prints to move through the atmosphere untethered, as if I could take a beautiful contour of land, dislodge it and set it free."
Hean's process in creating her monoprints is multifaceted, incorporating monotype printmaking, linocut and collage techniques. Each print is hand pulled with several passes through the press. Working light to dark, translucent to opaque, she creates the layered imagery. "There are," she notes, "some recurring subjects generated from the same template or matrix, making each print another version, location, or moment within the invented landscapes."
Karina Noel Hean is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and teaches at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design. She has served on the faculty at the University of Montana, Fort Lewis College and New Mexico State University and holds a BA from St. Johns College, a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate from Studio Art Centers International and an MFA from New Mexico State University. Karina has worked with SITE Santa Fe on exhibitions and educational programs and for the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts as the Visual Arts Coordinator. She received an American Artist Fellowship at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Ireland, has completed several artist-in-residence opportunities in the US, and is included in the Drawing Center's Viewing Program.
ERIKA HUDDLESTON focuses on the study of nature in urban settings. In particular, she is interested in better understanding how perceiving changing natural processes in an urban park setting can affect human psychology. "There's a psychological benefit to seeing the result of this dynamic process," Erika stated. "You know there was this flooding, and rushing water, but after a while, the creek calms and becomes peaceful again. It's reassuring knowing that no matter how chaotic nature gets, it always becomes peaceful again."
As artist-in-residence with Shoal Creek Conservancy, she has created a series of large scale paintings, a continuation of her study of the central Austin creek that empties into Lady Bird Lake. "I am currently working downstream from Duncan Park (9th Street) and along the trails where I paint life size on location," she says. "Sometimes the creek is truly a shoal of dry limestone pebbles, sometimes there is a thin skim of water, and at other times there is 5' of water from a flood." Huddleston's earlier study of Shoal Creek focused on the site near 24th Street and Lamar.
Huddleston holds a BA in Fine Arts from Vanderbilt University and a Masters degree in Landscape Architecture from University of Texas-Austin. Her interest in Shoal Creek and its natural aspects began in graduate school. "As Austinites, we have this great wilderness in such close proximity. I realized that I could merge my art background with my landscape analysis. Painting provides a complimentary data-collection counterpart to digital mappings of landscapes and is a tactic for recording temporal change which is traditionally considered difficult to depict in plan."

TONY SALADINO and KAREN HAWKINS
Gallery Shoal Creek is pleased to showcase Tony Saladino and Karen Hawkins in an exhibition that opens on May 16 and runs through June 14. The gallery, located at the Flatbed Building, will host an opening reception on Friday, May 16, from 6 to 8 pm.
Diverse in medium and direction, the current work by Mr. Saladino and Ms. Hawkins stands in contrast yet creates an integrated presentation of the intersection of form and movement. The exhibition will feature large scale abstracted paintings and monotypes by Saladino alongside sculptural installations created from decommissioned books by Karen Hawkins.
Working on flat surfaces, Tony Saladino moves with ease between painting and printmaking. Movement and fluidity are the foundation for both as he strives for spontaneity in his mark making. "Inspiration," he says, "comes from encountering the verticals and horizontals of a sometimes vast, other times immediate view. Although I call my current work abstract there are, to me, obvious markers or signs of what is real on the roadside or my studio yard."
A sculptor, Karen Hawkins' work explores "the book," a rapidly declining composition, and how, or whether, it remains purposeful in a digital age. "I begin changing the book's structure," she notes, "by expanding the physical properties of the book; folding, cutting and excavating it, rendering each page largely unreadable, and each book shape-shifted into an object, not of literature or science or history any longer, but an object of art."
TONY SALADINO, who lives and works in Hurst, Texas, begin his association with Gallery Shoal Creek in the 1980's. First showing his mezzotint prints, he moved his focus to painting. In paintings, one saw the same landscape and still life compositions present in the mezzotints, yet in a large scale format. Soon, those landscapes took a turn as the artist moved toward abstracted imagery; landscape elements that were depicted with the mere suggestion of form and geometric references. "The evolution has been fascinating to watch," says the gallery's owner Judith Taylor. "Over the course of twenty years, the need for structure has given way to spontaneity."
"I leave out a lot of visual information while retaining what is essential to convey my reaction to a subject or scene, knowing that the viewer will fill in the spaces and hopefully will engage with the work on a personal level. In the Earth Forms Series of both monotypes and the large works on canvas, I seek to contrast the flat vastness of the landscape and the detail of what is near. The cooler pieces describe visually how water on the land changes with the sun's light and how the wind creates water movement or placid mirror like surfaces."
"I go from working with the inks of printmaking in doing the monotypes to the paints that have a much more fluid response. I enjoy the challenge of moving from one to another medium. As in everything, there are connections. The pigment left on the plate I use to make a monotype often leaves cognate images upon which I start another piece getting many serendipitous passages. Similarly, when painting, I wipe my leftover brush paint on the next blank canvas providing an amorphous background spread undeliberately over the new canvas. As I paint, I move between brush and spatula - consider the areas that need to be more quiet and peaceful using them to juxtapose the detail and highlights of a focal point where I want the viewer's eye to travel."
Austin artist KAREN HAWKINS loves books. She finds materials and inspiration for her sculpted forms from books that have been decommissioned, pulled from shelves and discarded. "In creating small and large-scale sculptures from the pages of [these] old, forgotten books," notes Chris Cowden (executive director, Women and Their Work), "Hawkins deconstructs and re-purposes the meaning originally found there. The authority and significance of the printed page-harkening back to the first mass printed book, the Gutenberg Bible-is becoming obsolete in the digital age. In Hawkins' work, the page assumes a different role, becoming a vehicle for nostalgia conveyed through form. Her process (like reading) illustrates the passage of time but meaning is perceived as visceral rather than cerebral."
As viewers, we marvel at the transformation, the structural elements and the forms that emerge. For Hawkins, though, it is the process that drives her artistic focus. "I begin by changing the book's structure-folding, cutting and excavating it-and rendering each page largely unreadable. Each book shape shifts into an object, not of literature or science or history any longer, but an object of art. As the meaning of each book is subjugated to [this] objectification process, a shifting beauty transpires, aside from any language or text or etching held between the endpapers. . . I like seeing the type turn into something else when I'm folding it, and the letters switch from vertical to horizontal and take on new shape. My work can only be created by absolute perfection in repetition, and that appeals to me. There's something very meditative to me about this motion."

Gallery Shoal Creek will showcase new work by Aleksander and Lyuba Titovets in an exhibition which celebrates the classically trained duo's artistic success each has achieved in their adopted country. The Titovets will be in Austin for the opening reception on Friday, April 25, from 6 to 8 pm.
In 1992, Aleksander and Lyuba Titovets left their homeland and the city of St. Petersburg to resettle in El Paso, Texas. Summarizing the couple's journey, a former professor of Aleksander's at the St. Petersburg University pointed out, "You got your education in Russia, but you became an artist in the United States." The two signature pieces for the show, Sunny Texas and Secret Garden, capture the life they have built for their family in the arid region of their adopted country.
Inspired by the light and landscape of two worlds, Aleksander's impressionistic work reveals his classical training while creating a warmth and energy reflective of the artist himself. Lyuba's talent lies in her visual narratives. The elements she gathers for a still life tell a story awash in vibrant colors, while her festive village scenes conjure the folklore of her childhood.
Aleksander, the youngest of three boys, grew up in a cabin in the woods of western Siberia. "We did not have much, but we had a big family and were very happy." His work, he acknowledges, is derived from his childhood experiences of "sitting in a cabin in the forest in winter, watching the last light of day, [I felt as if I] could melt into nature."
Today, Aleksander continues to gravitate to the natural world of his youth and the classical training of the Russian School of Oil Painting. Stylistically, he combines the genre's powerful, realistic involvement with the soft, lyrical looseness of impressionism to create what he calls "quiet paintings" – paintings which reveal a reflective and optimistic spirit. His strong, confident brushstrokes and harmonic use of color create inviting warmth that dominates all his work, particularly the signature winterscapes.
Lyuba grew up in St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) amidst the city's rich cultural heritage. The only child of two engineers, she describes her parents as "Russian intellectuals ... known for their love of culture. I was surrounded by it. At five, I began my first art classes; at 10 years of age, I began art school. My dreams were different from my friends... for me, painting was almost like breathing."
The Titovets met while students at the State University in St. Petersburg where both received a BA and MFA from the College of Fine Arts. Exploring a range of creative expressions, Lyuba worked in stage and costume design, illustrated books, and was involved with the development of an art history program which integrated history, philosophy and the arts.
In paintings and drawings, Lyuba relies on her love of visual storytelling and her observations centered on universal themes – people, customs, and social exchange. A sense of interaction comes to play in each painting as she gathers elements to create narratives awash in vibrant color. From festive village scenes to still life compositions and interior vignettes, the focus is on simple things and the pleasures people find in everyday life. So, it is no surprise that the cultural heritage of the Southwest appeals to her.
"I believe that we live in a perfect environment... whereas on the two coasts, east and west, everything is derivative of the European. Here, the blend of Indian, Mexican, Spanish and European is a mix that has created a style that continues to evolve and capture the imagination." With discipline and drive that never wavers, the Titovets have added their own heritage to the cultural mix of their adopted city and country.
Since arriving in the United States, Lyuba has received numerous awards and honors from national and international competitions including the National Oil Painters of America competition, Great American Artists exhibition in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Westminster Abbey show in London. Her name is included in the Archive of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C. Additionally, Lyuba's work is in public and private collections in the United States and seven other countries, and she has illustrated several books.
Aleksander has participated in competitions with the National Academy of Design in New York and the Oil Painters of America. He won Best of Show in the International Fine Art Competition four years in a row among competitors in his region. For many years running, he has been selected as a guest artist for Great American Artists and Artists of America who honored him in 1998 with the Artist's Choice Award. His work is included in public and private collections worldwide, including those of Sophia Loren and the King of Spain, His Majesty Juan Carlos.
In 2008, Aleksander was invited to the White House to meet First Lady Laura Bush, whose official portrait he would paint for the National Portrait Gallery. It was an extraordinary honor for the Russian who came to this country with twenty-five dollars in his pocket and in a few short years achieved national recognition and success as an artist.

MILT KOBAYASHI: New Works
Gallery Shoal Creek continues its longtime relationship with New York based painter Milt Kobayashi with a solo exhibition, March 21 through April 12. The 2014 exhibition marks the 30th anniversary of the gallery's representation of Kobayashi.
Time stands still in Milt Kobayashi's urban paintings. Yet, the expressive narrative flows and ebbs with a rhythmic cadence of color and brevity of brushstrokes. Masterfully, he distills the essence of an intimate moment or a late-night mood to the point that the imagery itself engages the audience in an intriguing dialogue. It is with the mere hint of detail that Kobayashi has perfected his fine art of subtlety.
A third generation Japanese-American, Kobayashi blends the elements of oriental line, pattern and composition with a refreshing spontaneity. As a young illustrator in New York City, he frequented the Metropolitan Museum of Art to study the masters - Sargent, Chase, Duveneck, Vuillard, Velazquez. Even today, as a highly successful painter, he returns often to spend time with the artists of the 18th and 19th century who have influenced his own work.
Like Whistler before him, Kobayashi studied "ukiyo-e" prints by Japanese masters such as Hokusai, Sharaku, and Utamaro. He was drawn to their use of color harmonies, patterns, negative spaces, and especially their approach to composition and design. Here he found balance, a way to blend a strong design aesthetic with an intimate characterization of his subject.
Milt Kobayashi shipped his first paintings to Austin in 1984, at the invitation of the former owner Ann Hagood. It was the first time the artist had exhibited outside of New York City. The four works were well received, and soon he had a strong base of collectors in Texas for his intriguing urban paintings. The gallery hosted its first solo exhibition with Kobayashi in the fall of 1989. Interestingly, that exhibition was the first gallery showing in which current owner Judith Taylor was involved. Gallery Shoal Creek has hosted numerous solo exhibitions for the artist and placed his work with collectors throughout the US, Canada, and Europe. Taylor credits Kobayashi as having had a significant impact on the evolution of the gallery over the last three decades by prompting a move toward a contemporary collection of artists.

Ms. Kunc and the six other participating printmakers - Ina Kaur, Koichi Yamamoto, Monika Meler, Michael Schneider, Annu Vertanen, and Brian Curling - are among the most noted contemporary printmakers working today. The gallery will host an Opening Reception on Friday, January 24, 6 to 8 pm; Ms. Kunc, Ms. Kaur, and Mr. Yamamoto will be in the gallery on Saturday, January 25, for a special Artists' Talk set for 11 am.
The exhibition, International Printmakers, brings together seven artists from diverse backgrounds and experiences. All embrace exploration and experimentation and in unison provide a global overview of contemporary printmaking. The works "speak to each other and create a multifaceted way to view ideas," notes Ms. Kunc. "As viewers, we seek connections and contrasts."
Common threads run throughout the selected work, yet each artist brings his or her distinct voice to the conversation. Viewed in this new context, an expansive dialogue emerges, one which Ina Kaur describes as a "synthesis between opposites -- East/West, ancient/modern, oriental/occidental -- and how they coexist. "

Landscape Perspectives brings together two highly respected painters, Jerry Ruthven and Kirk Tatom, to explore regional viewpoints. Ruthven, a native Texan, is known for his realistic, atmospheric imagery of the rolling hills of Central Texas. A tonalist, Tatom gravitates to the rural areas of the Midwest and the West for his subject matter.
The exhibition opens at Gallery Shoal Creek, October 18, and runs through November 9. The gallery will host an opening reception on October 18, 6-8 pm.
Jerry Ruthven's roots are in Central Texas. Here, he has spent a lifetime walking dry creek beds and following abandoned fence lines. Like the early American landscape painters whose work he admires, he takes great pride in the region's natural beauty. Leaning toward realism, his painterly work captures on canvas the peaceful solitude and seasonal hues of the Texas Hill country.
Ruthven approaches a painting from sky to foreground, a technique he learned from studying Robert Woods. Figuratively speaking, he wants the viewer to walk though the painting, drawn by a focal interest as simple as stones in a creek bed or a winding dirt road. The composition leads one's eye to the horizon; details add the accuracy. On location, he spends hours sketching to refresh his visual memory - how does the light hit the rock ledge? From what perspective can the steepness of the cliff be portrayed? Endless drawings provide the answers.
Ruthven's landscapes are more than just an accurate depiction of the regional terrain's ruggedness and beauty. The ever changing weather plays its part, too. Anyone – farmer, rancher, outdoorsman, gardener – who relishes the land learns quickly to read the weather, to recognize its mood. It is Ruthven's ability to translate these elements that distinguish his landscapes. His visual imagery engages the senses. One feels the sultry heat from the haze on the horizon or smells the impending rain form dark clouds rolling in from the west.
Ruthven continues the legacy of Texas landscape painting – a tradition established by Julian Onderdonk. Ruthven, like Onderdonk, not only paints the vast Texas landscapes, he interprets its many moods.
Stylistically a tonalist, Kirk Tatom paints what is on his mind rather than what is in his backyard. Choosing the lush green fields and farms of Utah, Missouri and Colorado for his subject, he captures a pace of life that reflects his love of that countryside and "the simple purposefulness of that land." "[It is the] richness in land that you cannot stop from growing green that seduces me. There is an atmosphere in its solitude that distills an image, a pastoral leaning that permeates the way I see upper Michigan every August or view Oklahoma on the way to Missouri or even the way I view my day to day Santa Fe."
Kirk Tatom was one of the foremost carvers of stone in Santa Fe for nearly 20 years. In 1997 he put down the chisel and picked up the paint brush. Yet, a sculptural spirit carries through in his paintings. The carved outline of a stream or the rugged cracks of a cliff create an abstract viewpoint derived from the eye of one adept at working in three dimensions.
Painting on wood panels, Tatom spends long hours preparing his surfaces and laying in the glowing, translucent backgrounds that give his work an old world quality. When he adds meticulous details, he somehow makes them appear spontaneous. Even his most intimately scaled work takes on the importance of museum pieces because they are intense yet understated.

Gallery Shoal Creek presents three-dimensional sculpture by Marianne McGrath set against the vivid backdrop of large-scale paintings by René Alvarado. Speaking in metaphors,both artists create works which present emotional responses to their roots and their personal connection to the landscapes of their childhoods. The exhibition opens Sept. 20 at the gallery's new location in the Flatbed Building and runs through Oct. 12.
Marianne McGrath
"I draw inspiration from a childhood spent on a Southern California farm and my experience of revisiting it for the first time while in graduate school. I found that the farm, which had been in my family for five generations, was now tract housing, freeway ramps and a shopping center. I began to question how these memories of mine could have validity when there is no longer a physical landscape in which to place them. These works present an inherent contrast of meaning; landscapes that exist as memory, not as the physical environments that one may remember them to be."
(Adapted from an interview with McGrath by Diego Vega, 2013)
René Alvarado
Focusing on his mastery of layered imagery, Alvarado creates in Garden Dreamscape an engaging metaphorical narrative that addresses the cycles of nature and life. Symbolically, the central, winged female represents the nurturing instinct, breathing life into the reclining figure while assuming guardianship of the garden. Compositionally, the flora forms an altar around the revered, winged mythical figure. Yet, interspersed, there is the playfulness common to Alvarado's work as he draws on favorite symbols to speak of human traits. The dog sitting next to the female represents loyalty; the horse - always in a prancing stance - suggests a childlike curiosity as he sniffs the bright red fruit. The window, a passageway through life, gives homage to what has formed one's identity while leaving an opening for what is ahead.

Compound Interests
Gallery Shoal Creek, in collaboration with the Department of Art and Art History in the College of Fine Arts at The University of Texas at Austin, announces Compound Interests, a group exhibition celebrating the artwork of eight members of the university faculty who will be retiring in 2013: Thelma Coles, Tom Druecker, Mark Goodman, Ken Hale, Don Herron, Lawrence McFarland, Bradley Petersen, and Susan Whyne. This is an eclectic group that has influenced students and contributed much to the university's studio art program over the course of forty years.
The title Compound Interests refers not only to the concept of value accrued over time (as in "compound interest," singular), but also to the kind of growth that this group of artists, their students, and co-faculty have experienced in sustaining a long-term dialog and proximity with one another's diverse artistic interests.
Individually, the eight artists are painters, photographers, printmakers, metal and ceramic artists - each held in high esteem for their own creative work. The exhibition will draw on the artists' most recent work along with earlier works which originated during their time at the University of Texas at Austin.
A full color catalogue with text by Jeannie McKetta and an introduction by Jack Risley, Department Chair and the Ruth Head Centennial Professor of the Department of Art and Art History will be available.

An exhibition of new work by Jennifer Bell, Gregg Kreutz, and Tony Saladino marks the opening of Gallery Shoal Creek's new location in the Flatbed Building, 2832 E. MLK Blvd.
The stylistically diverse painters represent the range and quality of fine art for which Gallery Shoal Creek is known. The exhibition, which opens on April 19, explores realism, impressionism, and abstraction, and how they play off of one another.
GREGG KREUTZ / Mystery
Gregg Kreutz's paintings embrace realism in the traditions of the Dutch Masters. A highly versatile painter, his subject matter includes still lifes, landscapes, figures, interiors and urban architecture. He works from his New York City studio overlooking Union Square, and is immersed in life of the city. Compositionally, he focuses on light and shadow and how atmosphere envelops the whole to create illusions and mystery. Kreutz travels frequently and is seldom without his sketchbook. The exhibition will feature recent paintings inspired by visits to the French countryside.
JENNIFER BELL / Imagination
Jennifer Bell's paintings are dramatic inventions of characters set in the late nineteenth century. Each is a snapshot of a moment where observation and imagination merge in the artist's mind. For the Vancouver based artist, the era and works of the Impressionists - the color, the rendering of candid moments - ignites her passion and inspires her art. Her favorite artists of the period, Toulouse-Lautrec and Degas, depicted people whose lives you could imagine. Creating everyday characters/stories that she brings to life, Bell follows in their footsteps.
TONY SALADINO / Rhythm
A master of color, Tony Saladino creates large-scale abstracted landscapes. "Shape sets the structure. . . [but] the interplay of all of the parameters of color set the tone," says the Texas based artist. A native of New Orleans and an avid tango dancer, it is no surprise that Saladino's current works are strongly influenced by music. Inspired by music from Mozart, Debussy or Stravinsky, his process aims to achieve harmony through nuances of hue, temperature and value while creating interest with rhythmic variation.

New York based Milt Kobayashi presents a collection of small works that continues the artist's focus on the female in her quiet world. Here, he models his subjects with slightly more color, leaning towards a yellow palette. His use of broad bravura strokes has given way to tighter control and smaller movements in the brushwork. While his general compositional elements remain the same, the new work demonstrates a growing interest in Nicholai Fechin and the Russian-born painter's subtle modulation in portraying his figures.

Working on the fringes of landscape, each artist investigates density through collective mark-making. Whether using a literal buildup of paint or intertwining linear forms, the surface undulates from concentrated density to open, sweeping expanses.

Aleksander + Lyuba Titovets
Gallery Shoal Creek will showcase new work by Aleksander and Lyuba Titovets in a fall exhibition which opens September 28 and runs through October 20, 2012. The exhibition marks the 20th anniversary of the classically trained duo's arrival in the United States and celebrates the artistic success each has achieved in their adopted country. The Titovets will be in Austin for the opening reception on Friday, September 28, from 6 to 8 pm at the gallery's central Austin space.
In 1992, with political change taking hold, the young couple, along with Lyuba's family, was able to emigrate from St. Petersburg, Russia to El Paso, Texas. Within a few short years, the two had established themselves as professional artists, and were warmly embraced by their adopted community. Arriving near the border at the crossroads of cultures, they were met with openness and opportunity. Now, twenty years later, they are recognized nationally and highly collected.

PAPER III / Aug 24 - Sep 22
Gallery Shoal Creek will launch the Fall 2010 exhibition schedule with PAPER III which opens on August 24, and runs through September 22, 2012. The exhibition explores the creative process of five artists whose work incorporates printmaking, drawing, Installation and sculptural works of hand-made paper. The five represent a range of personal experiences and artistic accomplishments. Yet, all share a devotion to the medium of paper, a strong foundation in printmaking and drawing, and a sense of discovery inherent to the multi-staged creative process each pursues.

RENE ALVARADO / Madonnas
"Seeing my work is like looking in a mirror," says Texas artist René Alvarado. Without question, there is a personal nature to each of Alvarado's paintings. In the upcoming exhibition, his series of Madonna portraits reference both familial and cultural experiences. The female figure, notes Laura Harrison in a recent article, represents the matriarchal society of his childhood and provides him a vehicle to express his deep respect for the women in his family. Each portrait, presented in formal poses and arrayed in symbolic imagery, conveys virtuous strengths and emotional elements that run throughout the artist's narratives. Alvarado's symbolism is a complex mixture of adopted and personal iconography. He draws on the rich cultural heritage of his native Mexico where the reverence for Catholic saints and the cultural folklore intermingle. His metaphorical imagery remains rooted in his heritage yet embraces the world he has traveled and his adopted home in West Texas.

LEONARD LEHRER / printmaker
Leonard Lehrer is an American artist whose work transcends time. In both his artistic and personal journeys, gardens have been a constant and speak symbolically of cultural histories. As a young man, Lehrer embraced the ordered realm of the formal gardens in France and England. Afforded the opportunity to travel, he discovered the Moorish gardens of the Alhambra in southern Spain, and revisited his family's roots in Eastern Europe, photographing and sketching gardens and city views. The panoramic View of St. Petersburg is just one of many lithographs which fill Lehrer's extensive portfolio. Recently, he began revisiting these earlier black and white works, selecting editioned lithographs to hand-color. In doing so, he has created unique pieces where the patterned rhythmic shapes of skylines, rooftops, statuary and hedgerows are accentuated.
A multifaceted presentation, this solo exhibition reflects on Lehrer's strength of vision and clarity of composition. The formal European perspective—symmetrically balanced vistas and gardens—will hang alongside a newly created series of small still life images. These, too, marry lithographic impressions with watercolor tinting. To cap the installation, a large digital collage titled View from Strawberry Mansion—named after the immigrant community in Philadelphia where he grew up—will celebrate Lehrer's career and his lifelong passion for creating art.

Marc Burckhardt + Gustavo Torres
Cast bronze and paint on canvas meet in an exhibition of work by Gustavo Torres and Marc Burckhardt on view at Gallery Shoal Creek from November 11 through December 3. The opening reception, on Friday, November 11, will unveil an intimate viewing of sculpture, paintings and drawings by the two artists. Masters of their craft, both Torres and Burckhardt adopt symbolic imagery to convey complex themes and engage the viewer.

THE SUM OF ALL PARTS / New works
Working from his spacious studio in East Austin, Camp explores the human need to create order from disorder. The marked landscape becomes a metaphor for this basic human tendency. He distills the ever changing landscape to a textured surface of paint that suggests topographical features and delineates boundaries and navigational markings. The varied application of paint reveals an intersection of the raw, natural environment and the ordered grid that man projects upon it.

Through their work, each artist speaks of movement, that sense of "passing by" as Maratta calls it. Pratt records a single frame, distilling the view to near abstraction recording only the essential elements. Maratta, choosing a panoramic format, focuses on the sparse detail etched on a horizon line that stretches as far as the eye can see. Link's three-dimensional ceramics bring the conversation together. Etching loose graphic imagery and delicate detail on the surface of spherical vessels, she conveys a winding narrative within a changing landscape. From the back roads of West Texas to the Autobahn, the three artists share their unique perspective.

RENÉ ALVARADO / New Work 2011
Speaking in the rich visual language for which he is known, Alvarado blends a complex mixture of personal and adopted iconography. The artist's narrative unfolds in his newest canvases as one explores the layered imagery and cultural metaphors; intermixed are sensory impressions from his travels in Morocco and the magical city of Marrakesh. The desert flora and saturated colors of the region add yet another layer to the artist's lush narratives.

Heather Carter's and Nicholas Dertien's distinct three-dimensional work intersects in TIDES, an ON SITE installation which calls attention to the ebb and flow of time. Carter's lifeboats - constructed of bent wood and reclaimed materials - and Dertien's glass and ceramic surfaces play with light and shadow as they crisscross the gallery's open spaces. Embracing shared themes, the two Austin area artists speak metaphorically of human thresholds, generational imprints, and what we leave in our wake.
Focusing on environmental stewardship issues, Heather Carter [BFA, Southwestern University] is both sculptor and journalist. She lives and works in Wimberley in an off-grid solar powered house/studio. Commissioned by the City of Austin, she created The Souls of the Trees, a multi-piece bent wood installation which hangs in the Spicewood Springs Library.
Nicholas Dertien - artist, designer, glass blower - received his MFA in 2009 from Rhode Island School of Design. Upon returning to Austin, he set up his studio and workshop in a converted quonset hut at ArtPost in East Austin where he introduced his clear glass torsos and photograms in E.A.S.T. 2010.

Jill Lear is known for her large scale mixed media renderings of magnificent trees identified by their coordinates. In these, she expresses the landscape as a particular, defined and measured place - those PLACES identified by longitude and latitude. While completing a 2010 artist residency at Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, New York, Lear broadened her explorations to include the idea of territory, that amorphous, intuitive SPACE arrived at through an accumulation of sensory experiences.
high-resolution image:
New York based figurative painter, Milt Kobayashi, is known internationally for his intimate, urban works in which he distills the essence of a casual moment. Expressive narrative, cadence of color, and brevity of the brushstroke characterize the subtle style the artist has perfected. Mr. Kobayashi and Gallery Shoal Creek have had a close association for over twenty-five years.
In London, MILT KOBAYASHI captured the attention of Godfrey Barker, Art Correspondent of the London Evening Standard.

Gallery Shoal Creek will showcase new work by Aleksander and Lyuba Titovets in a fall exhibition which opens on October 22 and runs through November 20, 2010. The classically trained duo immigrated from St. Petersburg, Russia, and both have achieved much artistic success and numerous accolades since arriving in their adopted country in 1992. The Titovets will be in Austin for the opening reception on Friday, October 22, from 6 to 8 pm at the gallery's central Austin space.

Gallery Shoal Creek will launch the Fall 2010 exhibition schedule with PAPER 2 which opens on September 2, and runs through October 2, 2010. The Exhibition explores the creative process of five artists whose work incorporates printmaking, collages, and sculptural works of hand-made paper. The gallery will host an artists reception on Friday, September 17.
The artists represent a continuum of personal and artistic experiences. Yet, all share a devotion to the medium of paper, a strong foundation in printmaking, and a sense of discovery inherent to the multi-staged creative process each pursues.

Craft's private eye faces charges
It is sad that this lady had to suffer the horrible injustice she did, but what is even worse there have been many more before her who have suffered similar injustice and didn't have the money to properly defend themselves and had to suffer the consequence at the hands of these Catoosa County Nazis, Catoosa County has been operating their crooked system under the radar screen far to long and I am so glad the media coverage of the Craft trial exposed it and also hope the voters of Catoosa County keep this fresh in their mind come election, and the first office in Catoosa County that needs to be cleaned out is all the career cops holding Magistrate positions in the Magistrates Office issuing Warrants on demand to their Law Enforcement buddies.
Bredesen vetoes new 'guns in bars' bill
I am a 100% Red Blooded American and believe in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights but to alow anyone the Legal right to have a gun in a bar or anyplace that serves alcohol is just plain STUPID, you don't put a gun in someones hand blown out of their mind and to try and justify it by saying it is ok if they don't drink is INSANE.
I have a son who is an alcoholic and he as any alcoholic is going to drink no matter what the consequence, GUNS IN ANY ESTABLISHMENT THAT SERVES ALCOHOL IS A RECIPE FOR DESASTER.
Detective: Craft reported young girl's stepmother
I am very much familiar with the Catoosa County Magistrate's Office and have known the Magistrate for more than 20yrs. And also some of the assistant Magistrates, I don't know Tonya Craft but I would bet my life this woman is as innocent as Jesus Christ was, and sad to say may suffer a similar injustice.
The Problem with Catoosa County is the Magistrate's Office, it is completely run by past career Law enforcement with a cop mentality and there is no possible way they can be totally unbiased as they should be, the only thing the public has between them and Police abuse of power is a Magistrate because he is the one who writes the warrant's, and a warrant should never be written until an affidavit is submitted and reviewed by the Magistrate to see if it complies with the Law as outlined in the Constitution of the United States and then oath taken from the applicant, but unfortunately law enforcement personnel are exempt from that procedure in Catoosa County, they are issued pretty much on demand to Law enforcement.
In my opinion this Craft trial should have never happened, it should have been stopped at the Magistrates Office.
Police describe 'rough, bloody' home invasion in Red Bank
They just had to praise the camera to brain wash the public in accepting more of their freedoms being taken away.
Bank sues ex-sheriff of Knox County
Just another good example of dirty scum of the earth CROOKED COPS.

About Aika Online
Aika Online is an epic fantasy MMORPG developed by JoyImpact (now part of HanbitSoft), creators of Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent.
Five nations vie for control of Arcan in massive 1000 vs. 1000 castle sieges, relic thefts, and tower assaults, waging war on a scale never before seen in an MMO. Assisted by their Pran -- an intelligent fairy familiar whose personality develops through conversation -- players shape the fate of their country and the world, and can even rise to rule as Lord Marshall.
Since its 2009 debut, Aika has won many prestigious awards, such as the Korea Game Industry Agency's Best of Show, the Prime Minister's Award, the Player's Choice: Best Online Game, and Free MMORPG of the Year which should tell you that in Korea this one is very popular...
That is noteworthy for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that the South Korean gaming population has been incredibly influential in the area of Free-2-Play MMO gaming over the course of the past five years, with the industry coming to accept the axiom: "As goes South Korea, so goes the rest of the world" when it comes to that genre.
Are you an F2P MMORPG gamer? Is Aika Online one of the games in your regular play rotation? How about sharing your impressions of the game and its newest expansion by commenting below? You can bet that the GU Community will appreciate it!

A medical history provides your doctor with many
important clues for the diagnosis of your condition. To help diagnose
sinusitis, your doctor may ask you the
following questions:
Try to be as specific as possible about how long you have had
symptoms and where the pain is located.
Your doctor may also ask questions to help learn whether
you have been exposed to irritants that may increase your risk of developing
sinusitis or make an existing sinus infection worse. For example, smoke
irritates inflamed membranes in your nose and sinuses.

Company Behind Northern Gateway Tar Sands Pipeline Spends $200M on Huge Wind Project
Despite being the leader on Northern Gateway—opposed by many for the increased carbon emissions that come from tar sands extraction—Enbridge says it has so far invested $3 billion in wind, solar, geothermal, and other alternative energy technology projects since 2002.
READ MORE on EcoWatch: http://ecowatch.com/2014/01/13/northern-gateway-tar-sands-pipeline-wind-project/
In a long-awaited announcement, the National Energy Board (NEB) released the final recommendation from the Joint Review Panel (JRP) to approve the contentious Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline project—along with a lengthy list of conditions that must be met for the pipeline to go ahead.
"This is an extremely disappointing result from the panel, and it fails to address the most pressing concerns for British Columbians," said Gwen Barlee, policy director with the Wilderness Committee.
The NEB's recommendation was accompanied by a list of 209 conditions for approval of the pipeline, including the development of a marine mammal protection plan, a caribou habitat restoration …
SEE MORE on EcoWatch:
Oil giant Enbridge experienced a major backlash this week after three Democratic senators released a joint letter questioning the integrity of Enbridge's expansion of a crude oil pipeline on the Straits of Mackinac.
Line 5 runs from Superior,WI, to Sarnia, Ontario, "passing through Michigan's Upper Peninsula and crossing the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile-wide area where Lakes Huron and Michigan meet." Earlier this year Enbridge boosted Line 5's capacity by 2.1 million barrels above its previous threshold of 20 million.
Evidence submitted last week to the National Energy Board (NEB) regarding Enbridge's application to reverse its Line 9 oil pipeline through Quebec and Ontario raised new concerns about the safety of the project and the high risk of an oil spill.
"This evidence clearly shows what we have been saying for a long time. This project will put the health and the quality of the environment of our communities at risk both in Ontario and Quebec. In light of this, I cannot see how the NEB could approve this reckless project," said Steven Guilbeault, senior director with Equiterre.
Though eliminated for most U.S. industries more than a quarter century ago, special rules protected eligibility for fossil fuels, and have allowed a growing range of oil and gas activities to escape corporate income taxes entirely.
"Not only does the U.S. oil boom imperil our communities and climate, but the increasing use of master limited partnerships allows the industry to pay even less of its share of the taxes needed to support those same communities," said David Turnbull, campaigns director of Oil Change International. "The fossil fuel industry is busy destroying our air, water, land and climate, all the while finding new ways to avoid taxes."
It may sound like a familiar story: a proposed pipeline that will carry hundreds of thousands of barrels of Canadian oil sands crude across the Midwest prairies is embroiled in a permit controversy.
Before it can get started, though, Enbridge must get approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps regulates projects that require disturbing wetlands, and Flanagan South, which would cross the Missouri and Mississippi rivers along with many smaller waterways, would require digging in wetland areas, then refilling them.
Government officials cited a lack of evidence that the company has the ability to transport the heavy crude safely, nor could Enbridge prove that they would have a sufficient response to a spill should one occur.
Moving oil is a dirty business, and never has that been more clear than this past month. Since March 11, the global oil industry has had 13 spills on three continents.
Rep. Ed Markey: This latest pipeline incident is a troubling reminder that oil companies still have not proven that they can safely transport Canadian tar sands oil across the United States without creating risks to our citizens and our environment.

Even though it appears that everyone is tuning in to the FIFA World Cup lately, there are many of us who are a little puzzled by it all. Thankfully, we have folks like Triumph The Insult Dog who will go into the heart of it all to investigate just what all this sports fandom is really about.
The insult comic visited a few sports bars in New York during the day to check out all the drinking and cheering and ask some very important questions. For instance, these guys are watching people score goals…but do these people actually have any goals in life? After all, they are watching a soccer game in the middle of the day.
See as Triumph The Insult Dog travels around New York to visit different groups of sports fans cheering on different countries. Watch full episodes of Conan now on Much.ca and tune in to Conan Monday-Thursday at 12E/9P on Much!

Hi! I love this, now i can study for english in peace
Our last name is Hintch. I am working with an online card creator and they don't use plural possessive apostrophes in their card examples. For our Christmas card shouldn't it be: The Hintches' Top 10 Moments of 2013 instead of The Hintches Top 10 Moments of 2013?
Awesome; and funny! We had a question in some legal drafting on how to pluralize and possess the last name "Sanchez". Had to laugh when we read the examples!
I am painting personalized items for Christmas, such as "The Hansons". How do I punctuate names that end in 's' such as Jones. In the past I have done "The Jones'" but I'm not sure that is right. Other times I painted "The Jones Family" to get around it!!
How about I appreciated Dr. Strichartz help in this matter. Strichartz' Strichartzes'??
Please help me.
I ordered a Christmas plaque for my sister and her husband which says
Christmas at the Henderson's
Is the apostrophe correct? I thought there should be one.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
How do you punctuate possesion if the name ends with an s like Chris or Rus?
My married last name is Drewes. I am trying to make a personalized plaque for the holidays. Would it read: Welcome to the Drewes' Home ?????
Hi–what would you do with "a fragment of Heraclitus(')"–keep the names original "s" and add the '? Add "s's"? Simply say "…of Heraclitus"?
Can you answer this – Is it
I Wanna' Be Buzz' Girl……
I Wanna' Be Buzz's Girl….
Thanks Jane
Sorry, still confused a bit. My parents rec'd an outdoor plaque for their new home. Their last name is Andrus. The plaque says, The Andrus's. We thought it should just be, The Andrus' but now thinking, The Andruses' if following your guidelines. Correct?
My family name is Bedi. I am getting a house name made to put it outside our house. Should it be Bedi's or Bedis'
Following the rules, the plural form of the family name Fenech would be Feneches. But what happens when you have a plural possessive of this family name, i.e We took care of the Feneches' dogs. Would that be correct?
What about if you are talking about two guys named Chris?
My dear friend and his partner are both named Chris, do I say the Chrises?
"Though disappoited with this the project's preogress,Bob's always kept trying to get it done." Can help me to understand the implication of "Bob's" ??? Thanks in advance!
How do we write the possessive case for the word research in the sentence: The reseach 's end?
Is this correct?
Thank you
Thank you very much. This website has taught me a lot and I am no longer confused about possessive apostrophes. I can stop worrying now.
I would like to order a personalized Christmas plate for a wedding gift. The last name is Spanovich. Should the plate read "The Spanoviches"? Thanks for your help.
I'm just wondering why the letter "s" is removed in the word Philippines to show its possession. Sample: "Philippine Airlines" instead of "Philippines Airline" or "Philippine Constitution" instead of "Philippines Constitution" or "Philippine National Police" and so on and so forth.
What if you're just making a sign for your front door, or are buying a custom mat? How would that apply to a family with the last name Simms or Mathis? Technically, what you're saying is, "The Simms home" or "The Simms family". Would it appear "The Simms'"? "The Simms's"? "The Simmses"?
Hi! I am making a Christmas plaque for my newly married daughter & son in law's home. Their last name is Ortiz. The plaque says Season's Greetings from The Ortizs' . Is this correct? Thank you we are all very confused!!!

For the next six months, visitors to Alcatraz will encounter more than empty cells and beautiful views. The island is the site of dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei's new installation "@Large," a collection of works that explore themes of human rights and freedom of expression. One piece, "Trace," features portraits of prisoners of conscience and is made up of over a million Lego pieces. We'll talk to the organizers of "@Large" about the installation and about the challenges of collaborating with Ai Weiwei, who is barred from leaving China by its government.
Proposition G on San Francisco's November ballot aims to curb real estate speculation, which critics say is widespread and is driving up rents and home prices in the city. But opponents of the measure say that it won't solve the housing crisis and offers no protection for seniors or families who have to sell their property because of hardship.
Computer code has changed the world. But is it beautiful? That's the question at the heart of Vikram Chandra's first non-fiction book, "Geek Sublime." Best known as a novelist and UC Berkeley English professor, Chandra is also a computer programmer. We'll talk with him about the links between literary theory, aesthetics and the craft of writing code.

Her eagerly awaited documentary "Citizenfour" includes extensive interviews with Snowden, and details the massive U.S. government surveillance that he exposed.
This week, the San Francisco Giants find themselves in their third World Series in five years. This postseason has been one of legendary moments for the team -- from an 18th-inning win against the Washington Nationals to Travis Ishikawa's walk-off three-run home run Thursday night. We look back at how two wild-card teams arrived at the World Series and preview what awaits the Giants in Kansas City.

I saw Kiki's Delivery Service subtitled AND on the big screen today. Holy. Shit. It is so beautiful and even sweeter in Japanese. I mean, I love the dub (Matthew Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst, Debbie Reynolds & Janeane Garofalo are some of the voice talents in it) but to see Miyazaki on the big screen is breathtaking. Plus, they use a real kitty cat meow when Jiji loses his voice. eee!

Supporting Seniors, Family Caregivers: Where Does Your State Rank?
Posted By Elaine Ryan On June 23, 2014 @ 4:03 pm In Where We Stand | No Comments
[1]My sister always says, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." I was reminded of this adage when I heard Loren Colman, Minnesota assistant commissioner of continuing care, explain [2] how Minnesota is consistently ranked at the top of the nation when it comes to providing support for seniors and their family caregivers. "We planned," he said. Indeed, Minnesota developed a plan decades ago to transform the way the state would deliver long-term care services to older residents in their homes and communities, instead of costly nursing homes.
In Raising Expectations 2014: A State Scorecard on Long-Term Services and Supports for Older Adults, People with Physical Disabilities, and Family Caregivers, by AARP, Minnesota [3], again, comes in first. This state Scorecard [4], an update to the first scorecard from 2011, ranks each state overall and within 26 performance indicators along five key dimensions:
Not only did Minnesota [5] plan, but the state committed to implement that plan, despite episodic changes in political control of the governor's office and state legislature. Minnesota's plan was deeply rooted in the values of providing quality care and delivering it in the way people want to be served. And Minnesota continues to adhere to these values, while innovating and refining their approach along the way to build a better Minnesota. Still, even though Minnesota ranks No. 1 in the nation for its support of seniors and their family caregivers, the state still has room to improve – as all states do.
The power of planning and executing shouldn't be underestimated. That's why I am particularly excited to see that Delaware, Mississippi, Hawaii, Kentucky, New Mexico and South Carolina have created legislative task forces on family caregiving [6], following advocacy by AARP state offices to do so. The task forces will assess the programs and policies in place to support family caregivers and to identify the priority needs for the future. Here are a few highlights:
As these task forces convene in the coming months, we urge them to chart a road map for action, because the pace of change in states must accelerate if we are to meet the demands of the aging population, including family caregivers.
Here are a few highlights:
For family caregivers, keep in mind: You're not alone.

In radio days, when listeners could only fantasize about the face behind a beguiling female deejay voice, guys may have dreamed of inviting brown eyes, flawless skin and wonderfully full lips. Veejay Karen Duffy, MTV's High Priestess of Patter, brings that vision to lush, lovely life. Fellow on-air talkster Pauly Shore observes that there's dazzle in Duffy's dimples, but something down-home too. "She comes across as sweet and likable," he says, "and people can relate to her."
A former nursing-home recreational therapist, Duffy, 31, was discovered by a photographer in a Greenwich Village bar in 1989 and in short order graced ads for everything from jeans to peanut butter. Thanks to a sassy homemade audition tape, video fame followed quickly. As part of her régime de beauté, she consumes an any-thing-goes diet, gets $8 haircuts from a one-eyed barber near her Manhattan apartment and accessorizes with baseball caps. "Too much self-attention," Duff huffs, "is repugnant." High on her private hit parade are main squeeze Whitfield Crane of the garage band Ugly Kid Joe ("I'm over the moon about him") and pop stars with pulchritude. "I never compare myself with women in rock videos," Duffy says. "I love beautiful women." After all, if you've got the beat, why not join them?

Last Sunday, to kick off Debris Month of Action, PADI and Project AWARE staff from the Bristol office in the UK organized a Dive Against Debris event in collaboration with West Country Divers in Swanage.
If you lost some pants somewhere near Moscow, Russia - never fear, they've been recovered by the debris divers from 13 Dreaming Dolphins. And thanks to their fantastic work and spirited Dive Against Debris competitions, we now have debris data recorded for three pairs of men's underpants and a parachute.
Since Project AWARE's June launch of the new Dive Against Debris program, developed just for divers, 13 Dreaming Dolphins has been logging their debris dives each month. And you just never know what you're going to find.
Do you hate underwater trash as much as we do? Plastic bottles strewn across the ocean floor, nets choking coral reefs, discarded fishing line entangling marine creatures... Together, we're fighting back against marine debris – the ocean's silent killer. And when we fight for the ocean, we like to fight on scuba. Join us in the battle and dive in this September for Debris Month of Action.
What is Debris Month of Action? It's you, your best dive buddies, your favorite dive spot and a mesh bag, helping to clean the ocean and telling the world what you've found.
