Contemporary Glass Art and Unique Sculpture by Karen E. Woodward

May 2009

On Thursday May 7 make sure to watch Great Day St. Louis on Channel 4 at 10:00 AM. The good people at Laumeier Sculpture Park will talk about this year's fair and will give sneak peak of some of my new work.

Hi there. Good news! A piece from the Rasta Man series was selected to be shown in the exhibit Perspectives: Traditions and Innovations in Glass. This show will open during the 2009 Glass Art Society conference in NY. Also, the show at PISMO Gallery in Denver is up and running. Check out the press release for the show here. The Laumeier Contemporary Art Fair is May 8, 9, and 10. Hope to see you there!

Keepin' busy. This sculpture is ready for the next show. He is glass, peyote stitch seed beads, and steel on an 8" x 10" steel panel. Check back later to see more dudes, including the Flying Bubble Gum Man and Mr. Egg.

 

March 2009

This month will be interesting as I was invited to be a juror for the Historic Shaw Art Fair! Also, construction for the Craft Alliance Glass Museum is underway. We are currently arranging pieces from the "permanent collection" of the Glass Studio for the new display. Check it out later this month!

 

Feb 2009

Hi everybody! I am back in the studio getting ready for a few new shows. In May I will have work at PISMO Gallery in Denver, CO for their annual bead invitational, and later that month I will exhibit at the Laumeier Contemporary Art Fair. The piece above is from my Rasta Man series and will be available at PISMO. Look for his picture in the next American Craft Magazine. Also, check out my work in the Winter 2008 issue of The Flow Magazine.

Thanks to everyone who made it out to see People, Planets, and Places at Bonsack Gallery. I gave a gallery talk to the sculpture students and they seemed to appreciate the work! If you missed the show you can still see it in my portfolio section.

New works are currently on view at Bonsack Gallery from Dec 5 to Jan 13 in my show titled People, Planets, and Places. Click here to see more of the show. This body of work is further development of the work I exhibited at Third Degree Glass Factory.

 

Nov 2008

Hello. If you happen to be in Houston, please stop by Goldesberry Gallery on the Colquitt gallery row. I have some really fun pieces on display in a group show titled Strange Bedfellows. My work is mixed media with glass, but the rest of the show is mostly figurative works in ceramic. As stated by the curator, "Strange Bedfellows is an assemblage of artists working with craft media that expands upon, and transcends, typically conventional ideas about the aesthetic genre. The exhibition features work that presents odd, and sometimes larger-than-life, juxtapositions in depictions of the figure, whether straightforward or through anthropomorphized flora and fauna, and how it is handled in contemporary craft media."
