QART by Marsha Hatcher

Q-ART is now on exhibited at The Art Center Gallery downtown Jacksonville @ Adam St. through the month of February.

The Ulitmate Act of Love

If you have been following my personal journey as an artist, you should know by now that my creative process shifts like the wind.  Sometime I can be serious about the work I do as an artist and sometime "A girl just want to have fun."
I've completed six abstract paintings I call "Qart" (art based on the QR code).
My inspiration you ask?  Technology! They are all based on that awesome little black and white image that has attached itself to just about everything you buy. They call it the QR bar code. Yes, the one you scan with your bar code app scanner.
Go ahead.  You can scan the image right now to see the true meaning of this piece.

The Ultimate Act of Love   16 x 16 acrylic  by M.Hatcher

This is just a portion of the painting I am working on in my studio.  I will exhibit the series in the month of February 2012 (Art Walk) at The Art Center CoOp. Gallery on Adam St. downtown Jacksonville.
Hint:  "Bring your smart phone"

I'm currently in my studio working on a new and different series of paintings which I will exhibit at The Art Center Gallery in February.  Look for a preview soon.

New Painting at Jax Port Gallery

"River Sitters" by Marsha Hatcher      

The Art Center Cooperative is proud to announce a special exhibition entitled "Our River, Our Muse, Our St. Johns". This exhibition, on display at JAXPORT Gallery through Oct. 7, is being presented as the lead in to an exciting new children's art program currently under development. The program will provide art workshops for a group of selected students focusing on the activities of our port and the ecology of our river.

This is the next sculpture I am currently working on . My inspiration for this one came from one on my all time favorite sculptor Elizabeth Catlett.  Look her up !

Sculpture Art by Marsha Hatcher

I call this one "Daddy's Girl."
This series of work starts with a 20" circle. Why 20" circle you ask?  I'ts the size of my garbage can lid.  Why a circle?  I'll tell you later.

I've been very busy this summer working on some 3D art and can not wait to show off what Iv'e been doing.
I have now completed four more new pieces which I will be posting soon.

A "3D" moment in my career

This is the second wooden sculpture in a series.  I want to turn part of my attention away from the 2D towards the 3D.  Working in the 3Dementional is a little more challenging than working in the 2D.  Each piece I complete is extremely satisfying and I seem to get a little better with each one.

A Brush With Nature

"Lake View"

The Paint Out at the Jacksonville Arboretum & Gardens this weekend was a great opportunity for me to see if I could "Hang" with some of this region's top notch plein air landscape artists.  This was a first for me and I did get 6 paintings completed over the 3 days in "the woods."  37 artists over 3 days created some very beautiful works of art to help raise funds for this wonderful nature trail.  Many thanks to all who play a roll from the beginning to the end to help make this event possible and especially the "Art Buyers."
