In early June I spent two busy weeks working in a studio at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. You may remember my post here about being juried into the Torpedo Factory Artists' Association. I wanted to share a little recap of my time there!
I was in Studio 17, which is longtime artist Betty Grisham's permanent studio.
setting up
I worked on 3 large and 3 small canvases while I was there - it was great to take advantage of the large work area and high ceilings.
Being right on the Potomac River, the studio had amazing natural light all day long.

on the easel: 36"x48" painting
florals - 36"x36" and 11"x14"
Thanks much to everyone who stopped in to see my work! Working in an open studio is a totally different experience than working alone in an in-home or private studio. Sorry if you awkwardly caught me singing along to my music! :)
Overall I completed 2 large canvases and 3 small canvases, and am finishing up my third large canvas in my home studio. The pieces will be available for purchase on June 28th!

My print "Sitting Pretty I" is in a gallery wall on page 47 of the May 2018 issue.
It's so cool to see your work in print!

Still Lives: Jennifer Allevato is on display in the Invitational Gallery at the Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland from March 10 - April 29.
Inspired by post-impressionism with a focus on color and line over realism, my subject matter in this series varies from flowers to interiors to tablescapes. While I consider myself first a painter, I use whatever medium I feel is best for capturing a piece, often incorporating and layering graphite, paper, and neocolor crayon.
