creating a lot of new beautiful art.

the Chicago Park District

More details to follow
" Since retiring from teaching, I hadn't "done" the
human figure. I missed it. Now I have one proposal in the
works of a shark attack room mural for the Chicago Park
District and another of a winter skating pond for the ice
arena at Midwest Training and Ice Center, Dyer, IN"

Floral Oil Pastels
Santa brought a HD-TV for Christmas. Wow! I love the shows
of extreme skiers flying off snowy cliffs and jet fighter
pilots zooming low over mountain tops to dive bomb their
poor little targets.
It never occurred to me to view my big floral oil pastels in
that way, but that's the exact effect I've been going for
all along. Building layer on layer of oil pastels in that
way, I study the 3-D structure of the flower, as well as,
the lighting effect on translucent petals. The resulting
piece is often an insect's view, perched on an outer petal
ready to take the plunge.

Origami
As a teenager I received an origami book from my aunt at
our very boring Christmas party. I enlisted everyone's help
to figure out the paper folding instructions with next to no
success. A month later when I needed a study break, I pulled
the book out. It clicked. I couldn't put it down 'til I
finished all the models in that short beginner's book. I was
hooked.
I taught my middle school art students origami.
They donated origami tree ornaments to Christmas charities
and always had cool things to hang from their lessons on
balance- a mobile.
Now I aim at the original or a variation on a traditional
model. Sometimes I combine models into something new.
" Dancing with the Stars" on TV got mixed up in my head with
a visit to the Field Museum's updated exhibit of dinosaurs
that resulted in a series of origami sculptures" Dancin'
with the Dinos"

Dawn's own words :
Like a child in a candy shop
I am an artist excited by all possibilities and new avenues.
I am like a butterfly that wants to land on all the pretty
flowers.
I am an artist still looking for a language.
I am an artist that doesn't fit in any one shape.
I am an artist still searching.
I say"I" because
my art reflects what "I"
am at this time.

" Recently I have been concentrating on
non-representational watercolors. I like the freedom to
create shapes and lines that work together in an interesting
way. I begin painting very loosely and gradually work toward
tight details while keeping in mind balance and a sense of
graceful motion"
Judy Pampalone
