Making Waves Exhibition


There are a few more days to see the show, which closes 4pm Sunday, Sept 4th. I'll be painting right up until then ;-).

Many of you attended the reception which has been the highlight of the residency and I so appreciate the support. Enjoy the photo gallery below.

Making Waves Reception Photo Gallery

What can I say I've had a blast and I'm so grateful to so many, especially the team at the United Theatre…
 
Thanks to Tony Nunes for saying yes to an exhibition and residency, trusting me to splash paint around in this beautiful new gallery space.

​Thanks to Bess Gaby for facilitating and getting the word out about the show. Thanks to Greg Moran and the rest of the United team for being super helpful and friendly ….What a crew!
 
Artists usually do residencies that are further away from home, but the United couldn’t be any closer for me. Infact, you might have spotted me walking a very large unfinished painting down the high street, in the midday sun. Call me crazy!
 
And although I could walk home for lunch, I have to admit to indulging in one or two medium sized popcorns instead!

​The paintings are also close to home, inspired by the Weekapaug shoreline.  The coastal landscape never gets old for me, it’s always changing with the weather, from sunshine to storm clouds, which is reflected in the paintings that can be viewed online
 
I’ve enjoyed interacting with visitors, seeing their response to the work, hearing about their connection to the area or love of the sea, and chatting about my process, and life in general.

​Thanks also to Chris Ligouri of Yogastha Living for leading a special yoga class in the gallery surrounded by my coastal paintings. It was beach yoga without getting sand in your toes! Chris very kindly donated proceeds to The United

Thanks to Michael Fanelli for his creative eye, and patience helping me document the experience. Thanks to the Cafe for featuring my paintings in the restaurant. and to dear friends for their support, you know who you are ;-).
 
I've made new friends and collectors, stretched myself creatively, and have some very special memories, highlights of which are captured in this short video. 
 
My Heart is full!

Annie Wildey painting at the United theatre

Getting ready for Friday's reception where I'll be showcasing new work painted during the residency and exhibition.
 
Light refreshments will be served, a perfect to start to a pre-dinner or pre-movie Friday night!

 
Hope you can join me? 
Friday, August 26, 6-8pm
at The United Theatre Gallery,
5 Canal Street
, Westerly, RI 02891
 
 
It has been really enjoyable painting in the gallery, interacting with visitors, sharing my process, and answering lots of questions.
 
The exhibition itself has been evolving as I add new work, building it as I go along, I've had a lot of fun creating new pieces in response to what is already hung,  available wall space, and following my intuition, which has led to this latest piece  Retreating Tide (shown below) which is looser and more gestural than others in the exhibition.

You can view paintings in the evolving exhibition online, but there is nothing like seeing the work in person ;-)

A United Exclusive

As an exhibition exclusive I'll be painting some 'United Mini Waves' available at a special price, framed and ready to hang. So if you fancy one don't hesitate ;-).
