WOODSTAR
This pochoir was based on a painting of Woodstar that was made in 2011. P-015 (pictured) . 5 x 7″, hand-painted acrylic on paper. Made with stencils cut by the artist. -see catalog below-
CITY
Created as a study for the larger pochoir for the Sonelab collaboration, this 5 x 7″, hand-painted acrylic on paper pochoir is from a series of 20 created on March 16, 2013.
Salon 241
This is the first aerosol pochoir I made for the show at Salon 241. This image depicts 241 Main Street, where the salon is located above the Green Bean. Also in the image is Broadside Books and Sam’s Cafe. Through the window of the Green Bean part of the History of Women in Northampton mural can be seen.
State St Fruit Store
The State St Fruit Store sign is my favorite neon sign in town. I started working with the image in my 2012 Northampton Dreamscapes show and will continue to explore the possibilities and challenges that neon presents.
Cape May Warbler
This is the third aerosol pochoir I made, in homage to Charley Harper–one of my favorite artists. It is my take on the Cape May Warbler, a rare bird in Massachusetts, only occasionally seen during Spring migration.
Downy Woodpecker
This pochoir is based on a photo I took of a Downy Woodpecker that I saved from certain doom on the bike path.
Chess Players
I have been playing chess for years, mostly on-line. It is refreshing to know the game is still played by old chums in the streets of Northampton.
Jaws
I don’t know if Jaws has ever been screened at the Academy of Music, but if it ever is, I will be there! This pochoir is a new take on a similar painting I did for the Northampton Dreamscape series. The acrylic on gessoboard version was auctioned off in April 2013 to benefit the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter School.
Pochoirs are works on paper created with stencils. While any medium can theoretically be used, I’ve been working with acrylic and spray paint. Each pochoir is unique; designed, cut and painted by me.
Finished pieces are assigned a number & added to the Pochoir Catalog. All stencils are preserved for potential future use.
{system of numbering is “P” for Pochoir, followed by sequential number of when created. size of paper, size of image (for matte), media, date finished, ‘series’ number (if applicable), comments}
