The Midsummer Show: Group Exhibition
July 26 - August 16
Opening: Saturday, July 27, 11am (brunch-y celebration!)
I’m thrilled to be one of five artists in this exciting group show at Meyer Vogl Gallery, Charleston, SC. My contributions to the show center on the light and color of the warmer months. I’ll be present at the opening on July 27!
From the Gallery:
There's something to be said for an exhibition of new works with zero guidelines or directions or boundaries. Says director Katie Geer, "I'm a summer girl at heart, and I love bringing fresh new works into the gallery during the season." The show will include new work by artists Anne Blair Brown, Susan Colwell, Laurie Meyer, Andrew Portwood, and Carrie Beth Waghorn.
To see the artwork in this exhibition before anyone else, request a preview by emailing katie@meyervogl.com.
Charleston Light Acrylic on panel
“It’s not just about what you see…but how you see it.”
I am excited to team up with Penn Studio School to present an online demo: “Color Play with Acrylics”. In this color-focused demonstration, I’ll show you various ways to mix and apply color that will make the light sing and the shadows dance! I’ll demonstrate how the fast drying time of Acrylics can aid in layering color and how the outcome can be as vibrant as oils. Color mixing can be daunting in any medium, but I will break down the process of building color with Acrylics into simple concepts and steps that ensure harmony.
I’ll also be showing various Acrylic techniques and sharing tips I’ve discovered to create dynamic marks and textures.
May 17 (Friday), 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, Eastern Time

**Demo is live and will be recorded, students do not have to be present. The recording will be available to students for 3 months after the live demo, after 3 months the recording will be deleted.

I ASKED FOR WONDER: Group Exhibition
September 1 - 22
Opening Reception: Friday, September 1, 5 - 8pm
"I did not ask for success. I asked for wonder." The artists in this group show — Anne Blair Brown, Christopher St. Leger, and Marissa Vogl — find wonder in the everyday, from often overlooked structures to a pot of purple flowers to the way leaves on a tree can appear to be a thousand different shades of green.
To see the artwork in this exhibition before anyone else, request a preview by emailing katie@meyervogl.com.
The American Impressionists Society’s (AIS) 24th National Juried Exhibition this year is being held at Somerville Manning Gallery, Greenville, Delaware, Aug 3- Sept 2, 2023. I am so honored to be designated AIS Master, among so many other artist I admire. This organization promotes American Impressionism and provides exhibition opportunities to all of their artist members by partnering with galleries across the country to produce quality art exhibitions.
I will share my process for using photo reference as a suggestion and not hard facts. I’ll start by creating a small Gouache study from photo reference using a very limited palette. Then I will use that Gouache study as sole reference for a larger oil painting. I’ll show you how to put your own stamp on your subject by taking “cues from the hues” to make color your own. I will also discuss my brushstroke techniques and how to “lay it and leave it”.
$55.00
**All sessions will be recorded; students do not have to be present. Recordings will be available to students for up to 3 months.
I am thrilled to be the August featured artist at Leiper’s Creek Gallery’s monthly “Back Porch” Pop-Up Show!

The members will be on location during the show painting and visiting with all who come. Come meet your favorite artists and watch them in action. It is our third time in the Fork. It’s always a fun event!
Give the gift of art and help someone in need.
As the pandemic continues to cause job loss and evictions, more fellow Americans than ever are standing in line for food. Those more fortunate are looking for opportunities to help.
I am partnering with Leiper’s Creek Gallery to offer small paintings for sale with 40% of the proceeds going to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. I have also set several of the paintings for 100% donation. During SHFB’s limited-time holiday match, every $1 given helps provide 8 meals to families in need through Second Harvest. Imagine how much your purchase will help!
The majority of the paintings for sale were created on location in the beautiful Tennessee countryside near Nashville, TN.
If you would like to donate directly, go to Second Harvest.
November 6 - 27, 2020
Pop-in opening celebration: Friday, November 6, 10am - 5pm
To see the artwork from Terrarium now, email katie@meyervogl.com and request a preview.
The florals in Meyer Vogl Gallery’s upcoming group show Terrarium are not so much flowers growing in nature but instead potted plants, vases of flowers, bouquets. The artists — painters Stanley Bielen, Anne Blair Brown, Kathleen Jones, and Melanie Parke — are bringing the outside in and reflecting on the opportunity to nurture and nourish. In the terrariums we create, we are able to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes and, in turn, grow — and then ultimately enjoy the plants’ beauty.
“In this period of quarantine, I have used the time to connect with my immediate surroundings on a deeper level. Simple moments in time that might have been overlooked now become more important and cherished. My paintings for this show were painted with a grateful heart and an appreciation for everyday beauty.”–Anne Blair Brown
An all-day pop-in opening celebration will be held on Friday, November 6, from 10am to 5pm, and the show runs until November 27.

Please join us at Brazier Gallery, Richmond, VA, September 8, 2017. I am teaming up with renown artist Larry Moore to present all new paintings featuring interior spaces.
I became fascinated with the interior paintings of Eduoard Vuillard in my early career and have since embarked on a journey of studying various ways to capture interior light. Through my paintings I explore the feeling of warmth as light pours through a window or how a cozy corner of a house can create a sense of the comforts of home.
