I'm so happy to announce that my oil painting, "Mood Swinger" has been acquired by the Cleveland Clinic for their permanent art collection. It's about time, right? I'm not sure where it will hang but probably the Taussig Cancer Center. Thanks to all of my doctors and nurses who pestered and went to bat for… Continue reading A Painting Finds a Permanent Home

Phygital Art Happenings in Cleveland: Recap
Well, I was traveling for a month, immediately came home to a NFT irl show to put on (it went fantastic and is still up by appointment in Cleveland!) and then my poor baby cat Ike died of a heart attack. I'm so exhausted. The "Garden of Venus" reception might be over, but here are… Continue reading Phygital Art Happenings in Cleveland: Recap

Forma and Flora exhibition at The Gathering Place
Arabella Proffer’s biomorphic paintings revolve around a fascination with the history of medicine, microbiology, and surreal organisms. Her work is many times of landscapes combined with abstract representations of organic processes, alien botany, and the cellular basis of the unnatural. Each painting is started from a place of abstraction; becoming filled with strange hybrids of flowers, cells, and symbols; a nature that is a genetically modified in oil paint.

Thank you all so much and thank you to the Hedge Gallery staff and Ohio Arts Council for making it happen. More pictures from the show opening to follow.

An Empty Calendar Is Death, After All
This will be very different work for me and it's the first time I'll be having a dedicated show of the new direction I've been going in. I read a horoscope a few months back saying that for me, as a Gemini, unveiling a new creative direction in public in June was the worst time to do so and it would not be well received. I normally don't put much stock into horoscopes -- let alone the Astro Twins -- but the description was a little too on the mark and specific with my situation as I was negotiating a gallery space. I'm glad the show got moved to the late fall!

Snaps from the Reception at BAYarts
I have to say I think that was the most packed art reception I ever had! I didn't think so many people would come out (all the way to the westside) let alone in the rain, but there we had it! My pals K&G even flew in all the way from San Francisco and we… Continue reading Snaps from the Reception at BAYarts
