Opening for NOT BIG (3) Exhibit

Written By Hayden Michelle

Friday evening, Mary Rezny of the Rezny Gallery hosted the opening for the not BIG (3) exhibit, and it was an evening full of energy, learning,  engagmement, gorgeous violin music (Brice Farrar), delicious food (thank you, Marco Logsdon, artist and wonderful cook).  I really enjoyed meeting the other artists, and hearing about their work, diverse and beautiful.  It is always lovely to make new connections, especially when they feel like old ones... 

Finally got to meet Kathleen O'Brien, artist and healer ... (and to the right, Mary Rezny (black shirt) and to her right, Nathan Zamarron, juror)

Ray Papka, beautiful encaustic assemblage piece... many more on his website-- check them out here!

The exhibit remains open until  September 11, so stop by and check it out if you get a chance... lots of amazing work to be seen.   I feel so grateful to my boys, who made it through the whole evening, and to Susan and Laurie, who made the trek up to see the exhibit.  Thank you, Mary and Nathan, for enabling me to be part of this exhibit... it has been a great experience, and I look forward to the positive energy from new connections made.

Michelle lives nestled between the hills and sky, steeped in endless inspiration gifted by nature. She is compelled to make art that embodies empowerment, which comes from inner searching, speaking one’s truth, and reaching out to connect with others. Her revolutionary method of transforming macro photography into 3-dimensional sculpture enables new beings to emerge from imagery seeking release from 2-dimensional planes, reflecting the transformative quality inherent in us, all. She thrives on getting lost in the details of nature and pushing the boundaries of her medium, combining her love of ceramics, drawing, painting, and encaustic. 

Her previous career as a social worker enabled her to witness the cathartic power of art, fueling her as she continues to use art as a healing force.  Her groundbreaking work has received recognition in the national and international encaustic community, and resides in private and public national and international collections.
