    Patti.Smith: Symbolic Portraiture

    I contemplate the visual artist, writer, poet, songwriter and performer, Patti Smith with a focus on her writings and photographs for the 2011 exhibition, "Camera Solo," at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. “Camera Solo” was the first museum exhibition of Patti Smith’s photography in the United States and included “seventy photographs taken by her Polaroid camera, one multimedia installation, and one video work."

    Going on a Hiatus.......to write my Memoir

    After 5 years and over 100 conversations with women artists, gallery owners and collectors, I am taking an extended hiatus from the show. I will embark on a writing journey to fulfill my deep desire to craft and publish a memoir about my engagement with the visual arts. All the ways "looking at art" has impacted my life. It will also celebrate women artists who liberated me from both imposed and self-imposed constraints. A wild ride indeed! . For updates on my writing journey and other art adventures, stay connected by signing up for my newsletter: bernadine@beyondthepaint.net or fill out the short form on my website: beyondthepaint.net . Thank you for your support and friendship. We will see each other soon...
