MAKING THE ART SEEN
artSPACE@16 Online Gallery

Excerpt from MAKING THE ART SEEN, artSPACE@16 Online Gallery interview:

“These paintings were called “sleepers” because they were soft, quiet works until the light source changed and then they would come to life.  I wanted to create work with subtle changes in the color in order to intensify a sense of light and open space.  The layers were many but limited in chroma and painted with a matte finish so that the wood-grain was only somewhat evident, I needed the calm that enveloped me when I painted in only vertical and horizontal brush strokes. It was a softer, quieter dialogue of shifting color, shifting space….”

Rose Olson is presently exhibiting at Susan Maasch Fine Art,
567 congress Street, Portland, Maine
and the exhibit continues until October 31,2009.

This year’s Soup-To-Nuts Art Education Event was held on Thursday evening , Oct. 8th. Forty people attended the supper with presentations given by six alumni.

The various alumni spoke about the excellent preparation Montserrat College of Art had provided them with, both in their studio concentrations and in their teacher preparation program. They also talked about a variety of art education issues, maintaining studio practice, graduate school and the challenges and rewards of teaching.
