My Handpainted Wearable Silks &#8211; jackets, shawls, evening garments &#8211; will be featured both as a Vendor and on the Runway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jacquie often refers to me as the seARTS poster child. Here&#8217;s why &#8211; I have been an artist all my life &#8211; I mean since early childhood. But my parents were Depression Era parents and it was never a question that I might pursue any sort of higher education or career in the arts. I became a successful medical professional and later an executive in the pharmaceutical industry. All that time, though, I continued to paint, draw, do mosaics, decorative painting, ceramics&#8230;.all of it. I took courses whenever I could at the Munroe Center for the Arts, Montserrat, and with individual Artists. Having children quite late in my life I took time out to stay at home with them after a very busy widely-traveled career. It was about 4 years ago that life quite literally led me over and over again to Ten Pound Studio to learn silk painting. After about 4 contacts I finally decided to go, and honestly, from the first hour I just felt something so incredibly special &#8211; and addictive &#8211; that I am now working full-time at my Silk Art, both wall and wearable creations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jacquie calls me the poster child because it was SeARTS that provided me with my first and ongoing stream of events to move out of the Studio to market and sell my work. From my first event I was so encouraged (yes . . . that is the word) because I saw and experienced people&#8217;s response to my work. It it was an amazing feeling to share my work and see people light up when they put on the right piece. It brought me from Studio and 50 years of back-room creations out into the world to share shat I was doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Really, I am tremendously grateful to seARTS. I&#8217;m selling now quite wherever I go, whether its a trade show, museum shop, gallery or store. My work is now selling quite successfully at the Clever Hand Gallery in Wellesley, and I just received news that in October I will be an accepted artist (and I am so honored!) at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center as part of their Illuminations Project. My work will be hung in the Cancer Center for Patients to see, and Ithey have selected some very colorful pieces, including one of my paintings of a Hubble Telescope Image of a beautiful Nebula &#8211; measuring 35 x 84. I&#8217;m thrilled to now take my work to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you feel that Wearable Arts sometimes challenges you and could you give us a sneak peek description of what we will see this September at CWA III, and tell us what inspired you?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the contrary to Wearable Arts challenging me, it makes it all the more fun! For a life &#8211; long all I was doing was making wall art creations with all sorts of mediums &#8211; pastel, watercolors, oils, mosaics &#8211; but all for flat surface and walls. Just as painting silk freed me up from so many parts of being an artist&#8230;.because it is such a flowing, in-the-moment- free medium, Wearable Arts makes it so much more interesting and fun. When you get off the wall, the possibilities of creations are infinite!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My sneak peek for you is more of my silk evening garments that are actual paintings of actual locations in space &#8211; nebulae, star formations, galaxies &#8211; that can be hing on a wall between wearings as large wall hanging &#8211; windows on out universe &#8211; or then snapped closed to form into lovely evening jackets, shawls . . . to wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have you ever been in a runway show or involved with one before? If so, what did you like about it? Or what do you anticipate?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was part of the last CWA and it was thrilling and a challenge &#8211; sort of a &#8220;kick-off&#8221; event for me as an artist, because it put me on the runway for the first time. Since then I have been an accepted artist at the 2014 Santa Fe Silk Painters International Runway Event, and featured in Silk Painters International Magazine. Again, the experience I gained through the CWA event encouraged me to &#8220;go for it&#8221; and try for the Santa Fe opportunity . . . and what d&#8217;ya know &#8211; not only did they accept me, but they put my work into their magazine as a featured artist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The CWA event is just an amazing conglomeration of such artistic talent from all over Cape Ann and other areas! I&#8217;m hoping people will realize how unique this event is, and that they can see more here in amazing creations than . . . anywhere??? \u00a0I love the event because of this, because of all these talented artists, the opportunity to commune with them in this special way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Working at Ten Pound Studio with a group of artists has allowed me to see that creativity alone as a single artist is fine, but groups of artists are amazing and the work becomes augmented a real +10 in creativity and result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I&#8217;ve been busy lately, but this event is inspiring me think outside the box about what&#8217;s new that I can conjure up as a new centerpiece for my work for this event. Also, Our Studio will be featuring one of the special &#8220;vest&#8221; creations that will be auctioned during the show. It will be a creation made thru collaboration of 8 silk artists from Ten Pound Studio. I guess you could take that vest and use it as a symbol for the show &#8211; some amazing artistry created by a community or artists. Isn&#8217;t that what seARTS is all about?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333300;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Enjoy Christine&#8217;s<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/christinesilkart.com\/\">website!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sneak Peek with Runway\/ Vendor Artist Christine Gauthier-Kelley Please tell us some fun facts about what you do creatively (even if this is not your usual way of making a living) and how you what led you to become involved &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/searts.org\/wp\/sneak-peek-with-runwayvendor-artist-christine-gauthier-kelley\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[358],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cwa","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
