Giving the arts a virtual home.
I have begun filming a series of artist interviews featuring local artist and creators. My fellow artists have really taken a blow with the recent shut down of galleries and venues as have the lovers of the arts. This series will be hosted and filmed in the speak easy of Limericks Tavern in Chino Hills as well as other locations and feature two or three artists each session. We'll be going live during the filming and document the whole process. Along with the live streams we'll be filming an interview with each artists and document their work. After our first filming session we'll start posting a new video every week or so. Unfortunately the filming sessions and shows will not be open to the public due to social distancing rules but we're hoping in the future it can become a public attended event. When we have enough footage I will then make a video featuring all the artwork and artist.
This is not a paid or funded project. Myself and a few assistants are volunteering our time and services to help connect artist with the community. If you are interested in any artwork you can contact the artist directly. We do not ask any commission of sales. Also each artist receives a copy of the video for their own use free of any watermarks or obligation to Life with Erns.
We'll keep this event page updated and will be posting all content to the Life with Erns Facebook page.
Featured artists:
Karen Ruth Karlsson is a painter and print maker living and working on the desert fringes of Los Angeles. Her work aims to bring structure and order to a chaotic world. Growing up within the grid that is New York City informs her geometric abstractions rendered in layers of wax, resin and pigment; they reflect the tension between humans and nature, structure and function, revealing a world built on mathematical shapes that, regardless of absolutes, never quite feels defined.Karlsson's encaustic paintings, monoprints, collagraphs, and mixed media works have been curated into group and solo exhibits across the country and can be found in the permanent collection of the The Chaffey Community Museum of Art. Her monoprint, Sacred Grounds, was selected as album cover art by award-winning Native American flutist Steven Rushingwind.
