I'm doing an artist trading card swap/give-away over on the group art blog I co-author, and I figured some of you might be interested.
Typically, an atc trade is a straight forward equal exchange–one handmade 2.5 x 3.5 inch card for another. But so…
With the Refraction and Ephemera series I used the natural properties of encaustic--translucency, flexibility--to make work that conveys an impression of delicacy, fluidity and impermanence. I guess that's a little ironic considering encaustic is a…

- Artist Statement/Bio
- First and foremost, I love the materials I use. Whether it's paint, wax, twine, nails, eggshells, feathers, or plexiglass, each is chosen for a particular sensory response it provides. Sometimes the response is due to visual cues. Often, it is the tactile quality of the substance or object that appeals to me: plastic, flexible, rough, smooth, cold, hard, soft. These sensations elicit associations and memories. The reaction is personal, based on an individual's history. Familiarity has the power to make us feel. It can bring comfort as easily as it can cause pain. Nails are cold, hard and sharp. Their primary function is to hold things together, but they also puncture, tear and scratch. Notches cut into a surface signify the passing of time, ageing, damage, a record of occurrence. My connections will be different from yours. My internal dialogue while making art is fluid, always changing. Some ideas I keep coming back to are precarious balance, loss, rebuilding and the unification of contrary elements. In some ways my work tends to be autobiographical, though not overtly so.

- KAPOW! KPAO! KAPOW!
Oh look, I'm also kind of an organization now!
KPAO! which stands for Kennedy Park Arts Outreach is a project spearheaded by Stephanie Gerolimatos and Mark Bodah who are partnering with Holyoke Parks & Rec and working under the umbrella of The Holyoke Arts League non-profit 501-c3. The project is funded in part through a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and generous donations from various businesses and companies.
KPAO (pronounced kapow!) has local teens and neighbors working together to organize and present a small arts and crafts festival in Holyoke’s ward 7 Kennedy Park on August 14, 2010. KPAO provides a healthy creative outlet for local teens, gives them a sense of belonging to the community and highlights their unique creative talents. The project aims to build a better relationship between Kennedy Park neighbors and local teens who frequent the park.
