Cornish College of the Arts - Art Dept.

 

Cheers!..... to the Art Dept. faculty celebrating with the graduating class of 2024 at Cornish College of the Arts. Students completed their BFA thesis exhibition at our 9th Ave gallery in April and will be exhibiting highlights from this group show at the Hutch in Seattle later next fall. It has been a truly amazing experience working with these dedicated, exceptional, and inspiring group of artists, educators and dear friends for almost a decade. I am so grateful for all we accomplished and contributed together to foster such talented students year after year.

"Sosho" Photo Series

 

These were made during a time of solitude and contemplation and desire to connect with nature directly in my painting and became some of my favorite studies for this series.

"Sosho" Photo Series, Kristin Swenson-Lintault 2022

After a very long hiatus of several years which included a lot of difficult events, I am here for what I hope will be a place of new ideas and a renewed creative future for myself again. This photo I took in my yard a few feet from my studio in Seattle at the time of the eclipse this spring and it seems to be a good starting point to mark this moment for myself.

New Work: New Textile Series

 This new work is an intimate small scale series of saturated encaustic on fabric mounted on muslin. I was making these last fall and exhibited them for a September While Supplies Last event curated by Anthony White, a 2018 Cornish graduate. Since then.... they started to inform the large scale work titled In One's Element, 2019 that I exhibited in the Cornish Staff Exhibition. (See other posts)

Exhibition News 2018

Many years back now....in 2010 I had a show at Northwest Encaustic Studio in West Seattle which is owned and managed by Shaun Doll. This studio has become a gem in the Seattle Arts community. In November, 2018 they were celebrating 10 years with an anniversary exhibition which included about 50 artists.  I exhibited the work below titled TEIEN and look forward to the upcoming exhibition catalog that is under production right now.  Congrats Shaun!

(Additional thanks to friends at Cornish that made it out for the opening!)

2019 New Year.....New Look....New updates to Share.....New Stuff in the Works!

So it's that time of year again when I come back to this blog and see how to refresh it a bit so this now has a new look. And as with everything I do....it remains a work in progress.....so there may be a few places that still need updates or edits but I am happy to change it up a bit.

There were many things I was working on in 2018 that I have not posted about yet.....so it's time to pull photos together and share some cool shows that I have been involved with and I also intend to share another side of my life which is managing the studios and gallery at Cornish College of the Arts in downtown Seattle. I have been there several years now and I want to share some behind the scenes life of some pretty amazing young artists in our BFA program. So stay tuned for a lot of updates....show announcements.....Cornish students.....Cornish colleagues...... as well as my work in progress and process photos at KSL Studio. In the meantime here is a new direction I started last summer and I am exhibiting this photo below at an exhibition on view right now at Cornish Main Gallery. (details to follow in later post) So thanks for checking in!

While Supplies Last

This is a shout out post to my friend Anthony White, an artist/curator @culturalcrisis and graduating senior at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. For March 8th he curated While Supplies Last @wsl_art, a reoccurring group art show presented by Studio e at Amandine Bakeshop Mezzanine for the Capital Hill Art Walk in Seattle. It featured 107 artists....was highly attended....too many to count! So much fun.....a great time and I will continue to contribute my works on paper for future events. 

Thanks Anthony!
