ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:“A Good Life" The object is not to make art but to be in the wonderful state which makes art inevitable. I am not interested in art as a means of making a living, but I am interested in art as a means of living a life."– Robert Henri, The Art Spirit. The artists selected for this show have integrated art-making as part of their lifestyle with passion, necessity, and joy. They have a variety of day jobs: art preparator, landscaper, lawyer, event planner, and graphic designer. They have continued to make art despite everyday life and work demands, and have found a way to incorporate their practice into the everyday. The practice of art-making as a way to live is to self-reflect in celebration of life. The artwork and the artist are one. The artwork results from such practice– an appreciation for a good life.
ARTISTS: John Bohl, Eamon Espey, Lesser Gonzalez, Andrew Shenker, Anne Clare Rogers, Jeremy Roundtree, Iris Hughey
