| Event Description |
- JP Wackenstedt from San Diego is one of four artists whose work will be on view through October 19 at the Encinitas Community Center Civic Art Space. Encinitas Cultural Arts is hosting an artist reception where JP will be present for a painting demonstration and Q&A during Art Night Encinitas, Saturday, September 9th from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m.
JP states of her work, "My process starts by sorting through images I take daily. I’m looking for images that embody happiness and grief coexisting in a moment that’s at once joy and loss, time passing. I paint abstracted backgrounds first then use the images as reference, leaving out some parts or merging with others so the final product feels more like a constructed memory than a snapshot. The end result is a meticulously painted image of an ordinary moment of an ordinary day, that conveys a sense of joy and the feeling that it’s just about to fall out of one’s grasp."
JP's work has been exhibited at UCSD, SDSU, and SDAI. |
