Julie Vinette
Julie Weiman
"Julies Rule: Julie Vinette and Julie Weiman on
the Edge"
Julie Vinette uses a range of media—oil paint, encaustic, paper, pencil, video and sculpture—to explore the fragile characteristics of memory and time. She considers the finite purpose of everyday artifacts and reworks them so that their intrinsic meaning is lost. Whatever the medium, Vinette's work is hazily representational, brimming with color and movement.

Julie Weiman is a process-oriented visual artist working in a variety of materials. Her work more recently took her on an unexpected path into an exploration and consideration of stripes. Her paintings play with the balance between accretion and erasure, layering marks, accumulations, drips and grids to build works that simultaneously obscure and reveal.

Gallery II
Jemison Faust
"Before the Work Begins"
(from the series Tipping Point)
From the series “Tipping Point,” Faust's paintings document the chaotic clutter she encounters in clients' homes.
As the sole proprietor of Your Choice Organizing for over 20 years in Newport, RI, Faust creates her paintings from the “before photos” she takes on site. Then she distills the images to suggest both the daily lives of her clients and larger issues of how we inhabit our domiciles.
"There is often a tipping point before they call," according to Faust. "They perceive their lives as full and well ordered, surrounded by what they love and have worked hard to acquire. And then suddenly they are overwhelmed and nothing is where they think it is. It has all tipped over into chaos."

"Small Observations"
Artist Statement
Small things in life I observe
Small things in life I listen carefully
Small canvas in my hand
I place my soul.
Triple zero brush pains my finger
Slowly, painting is progressing
And I feel so blessed gazing at wonders of life.
Each stroke is my devotion
Each color wash my cleansing
Each shape a piece of me
There forever.
삶의 사소한일에 나는 주목한다
삶의 작은 소리에 나는 귀 기울인다
작은 캔버스를 손에 쥐고
그위에 내 영혼을 놓는다
아주 작은 붓이 손가락 마디를 짓누른다
천천히 그림이 그려진다
그리고 삶의 경이로움에 몸을 떤다
붓자국 하나하나가 나의 기도
붓을 빨때마다 나는 나를 씻는다
그림속의 형태ㅡ 내 모습
영원히 그곳에 있다
*I plan to show about 15 small paintings in egg tempera and oil. They are realistic portraits and still life paintings in simple compositions with limited colors.
