I love a good story. Be it novel, film, or just an anecdote, I can’t get enough. Mr. F is a marvelous storyteller, far better than I’ll ever be. He has more stories than the Grimm br…

36" x 24" acrylic on canvas This was the first painting I completed for my new set of work for my solo exhibition. Stemming partly from a need to explore a night palette, as well as to represent the mood and mystery personally associated with night itself, Night Hill speaks of those still moments where our subconscious takes over. I have sat on the shores of Lake Huron many times at night, listening to its crashing waves, feeling the breeze and seeing the stars. Each time, I couldn't help but realize how small I felt alongside the universe as it stretched up and on into dark oblivion. We make up such a small part of it, despite our immense impact; mere fireflies which circle about, lighting the way before flickering out. I came across this very stagecoach at an antique shop on the side of the road on U.S. 23 one day. It was strangely intriguing to me, and I thought, why not put it up on the hill? It encompassed an ethereal almost spiritual quality, like an artifact of the supernatural realm, where all things legendary and ghostly dwell. Fire holds several meanings for me, and I often find my thoughts unintentionally centering around the concept of duality as I paint, coming to realize its steady presence at the core of my pictures. The real and unreal, history and the present, opposing emotions, endings and beginnings, nature's seasons and cycles, all of it is present there. I wanted this painting to capture night's magical quality, when the unreal feels realer than anything.

ArtPrize 2012 opens TODAY, September 19th! I am participating in it again for the first time since 2009, and am very happy to announce that Sojourn has been selected to be displayed at the Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM), as part of it's ArtPrize exhibition, Transformation. VOTE for Sojourn -- Code: 52168 Text 52168 to 808080 or Visit artprize.org/andrea-kowch/2012/sojourn For those not familiar with the competition, it is the world's largest art prize, held in Grand Rapids, Michigan USA, and is open to artists worldwide. The top award, $200,000 is decided by public vote. Here are the official Rules via ArtPrize.org: The Public Vote Anyone over the age of 16 can register to vote. Votes are cast on artprize.org, via text message and mobile application. • Round 1 (Sept. 19 – Sept. 29): 11 days to explore ArtPrize and vote for the entries you think should win. • Round 2 (Sept. 30 – Oct. 4): 5 days to cast one vote for your favorite of the Top 10 entries. The Juried Awards New for ArtPrize 2012, is a $100,000 Juried Grand Prize, on par with the world’s major juried art competitions.

Will the juried awards stand apart from the public vote, or will the two cross paths to award a single artist an unprecedented $320,000?

Andrea Kowch holds a BFA from College for Creative Studies in her native Michigan. Largely self-taught and influenced by the work of American Masters and the Old Masters of the Renaissance, Kowch paints in a controlled manner with close attention symbolism and mood. The allegorical side of her work is intended to draw parallels between human experience and the natural world. The lonely and desolate American landscape reflects the human soul, symbolizing all things powerful, fragile, and eternal, she says. Kowch has received numerous honors and exhibited in Capitol Hill, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Diane von Furstenberg Gallery, and Margulies Collection, among others. Her work has been collected nationwide and in Canada.

American artists — from the painters of the Hudson River School to the influential Andrew Wyeth — have long depicted this country’s vast landscape as simultaneously a place of lonely desolation and of awe-inspiring grandeur. Following in this tradition, Andrea Kowch creates gorgeous and eerie acrylic paintings of open-skied pastoral landscapes. Inspired by a deep fascination with the natural world, Kowch’s works also tap into a common feeling of uneasiness many of us have toward the American rural – a place that is iconic for its beauty but that is also often associated with tedium, isolation and a clinging to negative aspects of the country's past.

Andrea Kowch es una artista norteamericana figurativa, creadora de un curioso mundo ¿femenino? (escasísimas figuras masculinas en sus lienzos lo que, añadido a cuervos, insectos y otras naturalezas, otorga a sus cuadros cierta magia pero tambien una densidad algo siniestra) que podría ser limitado y encorsetado pero que gracias a su habilidad poética y técnica resulta lleno de interés e imaginación http://www.andreakowch.com/ https://www.facebook.com/andrea.kowch.artist/ https://www.artsy.net/artist/andrea-kowch Todas las imágenes y/o vídeos que se muestran corresponden al artista o artistas referenciados. Su exposición en este blog pretende ser un homenaje y una contribución a la difusión de obras dignas de reconocimiento cultural, sin ninguna merma a los derechos que correspondan a sus legítimos propietarios.

Earlier this year, I've had the distinct pleasure of teaming up again with author/poet Brian Tracy for his latest and greatest work, Opaque Traveler: A Dream Sequence in Verse. Always a fun collaboration (many of you may remember our past projects, Blackbird Ballads and The Distance Between Shores) I supplied all of the illustrations, both cover and interior, for this book. Please visit Brian's website at www.midnightteapoetry.com to learn more, and Tebot Bach to order a copy. It's a beautiful read! The official book launch and live reading performance "An Evening of Dreams" was held on March 9th at Beyond Baroque in Venice, CA. Brian will also be doing a reading presented by Tebot Bach Series on Friday, June 29th. Be sure to check it out: http://tebotbach.org/readings.html#features Thanks again to Brian and the rest of the team I've had the pleasure of working with again for another enjoyable collaboration!
