drawing discourse exhibition catalogue
Recently I had the honor and pleasure to juror the "5th Annual Drawing Discourse Exhibition" at the University of North Carolina Asheville. There were over 1,100 entries and I was tasked with choosing 30+/- works. The quality of the work was very high and I could have easily chosen any of the top 300 to be in the exhibition. It was the most difficult exhibition jurying I've experienced narrowing it down to 37 works.
In January I was able to travel to Asheville to see the work in the exhibition and meet a number of the artists. UNC Asheville professor (and extraordinary artist) Tamie Beldue - the person behind this series of exhibitions - was a wonderful host and is to be commended for her work in bringing these exhibitions together.
Tamie also put together the excellent catalogue for the exhibition which is now on-line via Blurb. It includes some rambling thoughts on the exhibition and contemporary drawing by yours truly. You can check it out at the following link. And if you like it buy it or have your local library order it. (Of course I am completely impartial.)

Here are some of the amazing artists in the show: Serena Potter, Janvier Rollande, David Stanger, Sue Bryan, Elena Peteva, Krystal Harper, Evie Woltil Richner, Chris LaPorte, Julie Comnick, David Allison, Zoe Hawk, Gillian Lambert, Anthony Pessler, Rachael Davis, Laura Lark, Aaron Bernard, Jeffrey Fichera, Justin Sorenson and Camille Demarinis.
