Artists Rise Up with Neighborhood Art Shows & Bohumila Augustinova Tells Us Why

Given that the Jasper Project is a full-blooded grass roots arts organization with a penchant for do-it-your-selfers and folks who say screw the system that we didn’t design and take problem solving into their own hands, we love and celebrate the, now, many community-based art shows on the calendar these days.

These events have grown organically from the hearts and environs of the artists themselves and been nurtured by their neighbors who know the value of having artists who live next door or just down the street. Those artists tend to live life intentionally, prioritizing beauty and finding their own versions of gods in the tiniest details of their lives. They tend to be kind and respectful of shared spaces. Or they may keep to themselves unless they are needed. In any case, having artists as neighbors usually means lovely yards and porches that bother no one and enhance the world around them, so why wouldn’t non-artist neighbors enjoy participating and encouraging neighborhood arts events like the Cottontown Art Crawl, Melrose Art in the Yard, Keenan Terrace Art in the Yard and more?

Jasper is here to cheer on our local artists as they brave the chilly days ahead and gather under tents (and probably blankets) to show the rest of us how their spirits have manifested into the beautiful art they’ve created and have for sale. We love the lack of a middle person. We love that the artists are turning over the temple tables for themselves. We love the purity of this kind of exchange – value for value. And we love that the artists said We have art for sale, and we need somewhere to sale it, and solved that problem for themselves.

Here's a look at some of the al fresco arts events coming to a neighborhood near you.

THIS SUNDAY 11/20/22

According to their social media, “Historic Melrose Art in the Yard held the first art event in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. The idea was to provide local artists and artisans with a safe place to show and sell their wares while also showcasing the historic neighborhood. The event drew hundreds of people to explore the neighborhood. … The November 20th AITY will be the eighth time the event has been held. This event is entirely outdoors and spread over several city blocks.”

Melrose Art in the Yard welcomes more than 80 artists to show and sell their original work in the historic, downtown Columbia neighborhood. The event also features food and a concert by Admiral Radio, starting at 4:30 pm.

NEXT SATURDAY 11/26/22

Hosts Bohumila Augustinova and Bekah Rice invite you to join them for the third annual Keenan Terrace Art in the Yard with 16 artists selling their handmade, one of a kind creations.


Artist participating in this event include Lucas Sams, Gina Langston Brewer, Adam Corbett, Ginny Merett, Diane Hare, Barbara Howes-Diemer, Michael Krajewski, Wayne Thornley, Valerie Lamott, Flavia Lovatelli, Jennifer Hill, Stan Cummings, Elisabeth Donato-Owens, Ellen Fishburne, Tennyson Corley, and. of course, Bohumila Augustinová.

Bohumila Augustinova Chats About Why She Loves Pop Up Outdoors Art Shows

I was part of Melrose Art in the Yard. It was their second or third year and I was set up next to couple of  my friends. We loved the event. I have a big front yard, so we decided that maybe we could do our own version of the event. Just with all of the artists in the same area.  

Starting the event wasn’t all that difficult. I organized plenty of art events before, so this may have been the easiest event I ever organized. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a lot of work. Just not as stressful.  

There are few things I really like about it. First, I love and adore working with local artists, so showing my work right by their side is always a pleasure. I love that neighbors come on foot, with their dogs and kids. It has a true community feeling to it. I get to know some artists that live right in my neighborhood and so many of my friends come to support the event.  

We have a few artists that been with us since the beginning and few new faces as well. 

We have Michael Krajewski, who’s been selling his work at this event since the beginning. He brings his smaller works of art and sell them at amazing prices. Michael is also a collector of vintage toys, so he always entertains us with different toys he brings.  

This year for the first time Tennyson Corley is bringing her amazing ceramic sculptures. They are really humorous and charming.  

Wayne Thornley, he’s been one of my favorite local artists for years and a good friend. He’s dangerous to me, because I know I’m going to want to buy more of his work. He brings paintings and his wish boxes, and I have the feeling I need another one of those. 

I’m excited because Liz Donato who was my first ever pottery teacher will be joining us. Her pottery is so beautifully made. 

Ellen Fishburne is one of our neighbors and she does amazing watercolor paintings and notecards.  

We are doing this once a year. We settled on the Saturday after Thanksgiving because it’s “shop local day.” 

The only tricky part of this event is that even though our front yard is big, it’s not big enough to grow. We can only have about 17 artists. At this point, the only call for artist we do is on the neighborhood facebook page.

JASPER'S TINY GALLERY: Amber Machado Explores Beauty and Pain in Nature and Her Own Body

“Painting is my outlet to unapologetically show my pain”

— Amber Machado

Amber Machado grew up in Lexington, South Carolina, surrounded by art and a love for it, with parents and siblings who made art and music. As the youngest, Machado grew up observing this love for creation regularly.  

“Truthfully, the thing that led me to art initially was wanting to be exactly like them,” Machado recalls. “My relationship with art has since evolved and become much more personal, but initially, art to me was like breathing air. I loved it, but it was so readily available that I took it for granted.”  

What finally made Machado appreciate what art meant to her was a 2018 Lupus diagnosis, which brought life to “a screeching halt.” Among days of confusion and pain, painting became a centering force and method of control. 

“This is when I fell in love with art. And I fell hard. Painting became my primary language, my center of gravity,” Machado intimates, “It’s ironic, because I associate the onset of my illness with so much loss, but at the same time it was a rebirth of sorts. I was born to be an artist. I know I wouldn’t have come to that realization without the onset of my disease.” 

The medium she gravitated to, and still utilizes today, is watercolor. Completely self-taught, she is a master of imitation, inspired once again by her dad and sister, and her creative journey now is indebted to “hours, and I mean HOURS of practice.”  

Machado also emphasizes that watercolor is a particularly convenient medium, especially for those easily discouraged and who desire something portable. The unique texture of watercolor and the way it bleeds and blends with the colors around it, makes it perfect for expressing the “dramatic mood” in her work. 

Ruth

“Moody, expressive landscapes and seascapes have always been my main focus. I’m greatly inspired by nature, and watercolor is the perfect medium to capture nature’s subtleties, drama, and unpredictability,” Machado explains, “I gravitate towards vibrant colors and add expressive markings to evoke an unpredictable, yet familiar atmosphere within each painting.” 

Machado has three main types of creating in which she produces these expressive scenes: she works from imagination, where she can transport herself anywhere; she works outdoors/on-site/en plein air where she can “paint what she sees and feels at that moment in time,” and she works around a particular theme, often inspired by travels upon finally returning home.  

Regardless, she does often move in one particular direction. 

“I tend to gravitate toward dark themes. Pain, loss, death, the things in life that you have absolutely no control over. I like to explore themes that make the average person a little uncomfortable. Landscapes serve as a great visual translation of this because nature is completely uncontrollable. It’s lethal,” Machado emphasizes, “On the other side of that, though, is a silent relentlessness. Nature takes beating after beating and constantly evolves. Trees are whipped by the wind and their physical forms change, but they don’t necessarily die. When I made this connection, I was able to make peace with my disease. Painting is my outlet to unapologetically show my pain.” 

When it came to Tiny Gallery, it seemed a natural fit as the 2.5 x 3.5-inch trading card paper her father gave her was Machado’s first canvas for her landscapes. These tiny new landscapes were all made for the show, and all have female names, which Machado asserts “just felt right.” All of the pieces encapsulate this balance of ethereal, untouchable beauty and the darkness and fear that vibrates around us, and Machado’s favorites in the show are Ruth, Seraphina, and Darling.

Darling

Before this gallery, Machado had shown her work at three Cottontown Art Crawls, which have been invaluable experiences for her. 

“In 2020, I participated in the Cottontown Art Crawl for the first time. Almost immediately after setting up, a total stranger came up and purchased a painting,” Machado reminisces, “She picked up a painting that I had actually considered not bringing, because I questioned if it was good enough. I felt like I was going to faint! Watching someone who doesn’t even know me willingly give me money for a painting was and still is one of the most wonderful moments of my entire life.” 

Machado will be bringing this energy into the new, unannounced series she has underway and the upcoming holiday markets at Curiosity Coffee Bar. To follow along, follow Machado’s Instagram @artistamachado, and check out her website

8 Fascinating Things About Metalsmith Artist Valerie Lamott

“Mother Earth is my greatest influence as an artist.”

  • I started metalsmithing as a hobby after work maybe 12 years ago. I took classes at the local art center in basic fabrication, enameling, and chain making. My job was essentially to break things all day (I was a Senior Corporate Quality Engineer at an audio electronics company) and the metalsmithing let me create things in the evenings. Gave me some balance.

  • I grew up in Northwest Indiana. After college I moved to Tokyo, then Seoul, then I was kind of a hippie living out of a backpack for a while bouncing around Asia and Europe, and settled in Chicago once I made it back to America. Then around 9 years ago I moved to Columbia.

  • I work in sterling silver, bronze, and semi-precious gemstones for my jewelry. The whole process, from metals to cutting rocks is messy and gross and the end product turns out so beautiful. I love it.

  • I never really grew out of that traveler phase. I work anywhere. I've made a lot of my studio mobile and you can often find me designing or sawing out pieces at a state park picnic table. I sell my work primarily at art shows, from Petoskey, Michigan to Miami, Florida and everywhere in between.

  • Mother Earth is my greatest influence as an artist. I hike, I camp, I kayak, and I take these places and moments and immortalize them in metal and rocks.

  • I think my work is unique because it's my life. I create miniature landscapes that many people identify with, but they're all from my eyes.

  • My favorite SC based artist is TomMac Garrett. Besides being a fantastic potter, he's a good friend and I love that his work incorporates images from his farm. He's an innovative artist sharing his unique voice.

  • I am currently working on a series based on a couple Midlands state parks and you will absolutely see it soon, as it's for the Jasper Project’s April Tiny Gallery Series! I also have shows coming up at the Swamp Rabbit Cafe in Greenville, the Cottontown Art Crawl here in Columbia, and the Fairhope Arts Festival in Alabama.

Mandala CXI Steinway piano keys

JASPER: When did you first begin to pursue visual art? Where and when did you train,
or are you self-taught?

LENZ: I started in 2001 at the age of forty-two. I am self taught.

 

JASPER: Where did you grow up? If you are not from SC, what brought you here?

LENZ:I am from Columbus, Ohio and came to Columbia in 1987 in order for my husband, Steve Dingman, to work as at a coastal engineering company.  He hated it and quit after three years, but we stayed.

 

JASPER: What mediums in visual arts do you typically use and why? 

LENZ: I am primarily a fiber and installation artist but will dabble in most visual artists media.

 

JASPER: Where do you work now and where do you show your work? 

LENZ: My studio is in my legally zoned live/work location, Mouse House.  I am represented by the Grovewood Gallery on the grounds of the historic Grove Park Inn in Asheville.  I show my work in both solo and nationally juried exhibitions and high end fine craft shows including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Smithsonian Craft Shows.

 

JASPER: Who has been your greatest influence as an artist? 

LENZ: Stephen Chesley

 

JASPER: What do you feel makes your art unique? 

LENZ: Using a threaded needle, I work in partnership with my materials and use found objects to express my thoughts on remembrance and mortality. My work is unique in the many ways it pays homage to anonymous ancestors and to those whose voices might otherwise be stilled.

 

JASPER: Who is your favorite SC-based visual artist and why?

LENZ: Stephen Chesley lives a true “artist life” without compromise and through his example, I have learned and will continue to learn how better to be more myself than I initially knew was possible.


JASPER: What are you working on now, will we get to see it, and if so, where, and when?

LENZ; I am currently working on a pandemic-inspired series influenced by the traditions of Buddhist mandala making.  Repetitive circles of found objects are stitched onto sections of neglected, old quilts.  The series is as much about the hunt for unique, found objects as the actual creation of the artwork. Adventures include dismantling an old, broken Steinway piano for three, commissioned pieces for Carolina Steinway in Charlotte and sourcing Hawai’i stamped golf tees from a cyber friend in Texas. The series now numbers over one-hundred and will be on view at the upcoming Smithsonian Craft Show, April 20 – 24, 2022 but some will be available at the Cottontown Art Crawl

The series can be found on-line at: https://foundobjectmandalasbysusanlenz.blogspot.com/

Eight Things about Visual Artist Rebecca Lynne Horne

  • Growing up with a father who was an artist, I’ve painted off and on my entire life. In 2018 I began to pursue it. In 2021 my art really began to take off. I consider myself a self-taught artist but have taken several courses over the past few years.

  •  I grew up on Lake Wateree, S.C. I’ve bounced back and forth from Columbia and Camden and currently live in West Columbia 

  • I’m an abstract artist so I love the creativity that Mixed Media allows me to have. With Fluid Acrylics, I love the way the paint moves and creates beautiful shapes and colors.

  • My studio space is at my home. It’s small and packed full of art supplies! I’ve shown my work at various locations in the Midlands. Currently, I have several pieces at Aloft Downtown and several international online exhibits. Beginning in May, I’ll have several pieces on exhibit at the Koger Center. There are shows planned for later this year.

  • My greatest influence so far is Ginger Thomas. I’ve taken every course she has offered, and I’ve learned so much from her about Mixed Media art. Then, of course, my father who was a fantastic artist. I don’t make art like he did, but he was the inspiration that sparked my interest in the beginning.

  • Unique art is what I’m all about. It’s my personal mission to make art that is different. Like nothing anyone has seen before. It has to be pretty; it has to push the boundaries and it has to be intriguing. In my Mixed Media art, I love to find things to use in the structure that no one that I know of has ever considered. I also enjoy the challenge of applying many different types of texture into one piece. There are so many interesting layers and tiny surprises that someone has to look for to see. 

  • Pascale Sexton Bilgis is my favorite SC-based visual artist. Not only is she my friend but she’s an incredibly gifted artist. She has a special way with colors, structure, and composition. Her art is always vibrant, unique, and interesting. You can see her personality come through in her work.

  • Currently I’m working on getting art ready for the Cottontown Art Crawl. Also, finishing up several pieces for the Koger Center in May. I’ll have three pieces at the Crooked Creek Art League Spring Show in Chapin. That will take place starting Feb. 28 and run through March 26  After the Cottontown Art Crawl I’ll begin to work on ten to twelve pieces for a solo show this fall!

ARTIST PROFILE: PASCALE BILGIS Brings Turkey and France to her Art

Pascale Bilgis grew up in a small village in Burgundy, France, and later in Dijon for her studies. At the age of 18, she left her homeland to continue her studies at the University of South Carolina where she received her BA in photography. After graduating, she worked as an archaeological photographer in southern Turkey and as an art assistant at the Pierre LOTI French School of Istanbul. While in Turkey she began to pursue a new passion for painting and ceramics. She moved back to the States in 2016 and became very active in the artist community in South Carolina. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout the state and has won numerous awards. She is a member of South Carolina Artists and currently lives in Lexington, SC. Learn more about the artist at her website.

HOME – New work
A multimedia artist focusing on landscapes, in her series Home, Bilgis recalls significant landscapes from her own life: the small French village of her childhood; Turkey, where she worked as an archeological photographer; and her current home, South Carolina. Working in acrylic, Bilgis splits her compositions into geometric sections using different color palettes to show the landscapes in different times of day or different seasons. She adds buildings in ceramic or wood relief. The architecture of the buildings helps identify her landscapes as belonging to specific regions: she creates the simple cottages of rural France, the bustling cityscape of Istanbul, and the nostalgic country houses of South Carolina. She chooses to show the buildings in ceramic relief to emphasize the durability of human habitations in contrast to the natural world, which reflects the changing seasons. “As the landscape is ever changing, homes remain in their original state,” Bilgis says.

Little Flat People – Mixed media
In her exhibition, Little Flat People, Bilgis seamlessly blends two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements to demonstrate the fundamental similarities between people. The artist presents little figures set among pebbles, wood frames, and panels with vibrant abstract expressionist landscapes as backgrounds. “After 2 years creating vivid abstract landscapes with ceramic architectural relief, I wanted to keep working with clay and acrylic colors but in a more meaningful way. One day while collecting pebbles on a beach in southern Turkey, I came up with the “Flat Little People” series,“ Bilgis explains. Made of clay and fired at 2000 degrees, the figures all look alike in that they are flat and uniform, but in truth they are not “flat” at all, they seem to be very lively and interesting. It is up to the viewer to imagine their emotions through their postures and implied actions.

Bilgis is one of the more than 100 artists whose work will be shown at the Cottontown Art Crawl on March 12th in Columbia, SC.

ARTIST PROFILE -- Rusty Sox and Titanic Alley

Love that paisley!

JASPER: When did you first begin to pursue visual art? Where and when did you train, or are you self-taught?

SOX: I decided to experiment with making bow ties in 2013. I was craving a creative pursuit that combined my love of thrift store shopping and fashion. I decided to use cast-away garments to upcycle into new wearable art in the form of bow ties. I bought an inexpensive sewing machine and made some patterns from old, deconstructed ties. I taught myself how to sew and how to make ties.

 

JASPER: What mediums in visual arts do you typically use and why? 

SOX: I use vintage and recycled fabrics, mostly acquired from area thrift stores.

 

JASPER: Where do you work now and where do you show your work? 

SOX: I have a studio at home. I primarily show and sell at local craft shows and through my web site www.titanicalley.com. 

I was included in the 2015  “Carolina Makers” exhibition at the South Carolina State Museum and was runner-up to “Best in Show” at the 2017 Crafty Feast.

 

JASPER: Who have been your greatest influences as an artist? 

SOX: I am inspired by the creations and philosophies of the early 20th Century Arts and Crafts movement and by the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Locally, I was inspired by the late “Refashionista” Jillian Owens who demonstrated how cast-off clothes could become beautiful and useful again.

 

JASPER: What do you feel makes your art unique? 

SOX: I think the recycled nature of my materials, as well as the contrast of colors and textures in many of my bow ties makes my pieces unique.

 

JASPER: Who is your favorite SC-based visual artist and why? 

SOX: I am admittedly biased, but I am a big fan of ceramic artist Paul Moore. I think his work is beautiful and the way he captures the South Carolina landscape in clay is inspiring. I am lucky to share my life with such a great artist and great human being.

 

JASPER: What are you working on now, will we get to see it, and if so, where, and when? 

SOX: I am always working on new ties, but I am terrible about updating my website. I promise to try and do better! I am available for private appointments and custom work as well.

2021 Cottontown Art Crawl is Just What Everyone Needs Right Now

cottontown12.jpg

It’s like all the art gods got together and whispered in the ears of Julie Seel and her team of talented friends and neighbors in the charming little hamlet of Cottontown at once, “Your community needs art and sunshine and music and a reminder that people are basically good and giving. Give them the art they crave!”

And it was so.

This Saturday from 10 - 3 plan to put your troubles on a plane to the moon, but take yourself and everyone you love to Columbia’s Cottontown-Bellevue historic district where you can bask in the vibes of 83 artists who have been cooped up for a year with nothing to do but express the gamut of their emotions with their hands and pent up creativity.

There is no telling what these amazing people have put together for us.

What we do know is this:

  • the Host Station is at 2150 Sumter Street where you can pick up maps or meet your friends

  • 42 art sites are neighborhood porches, yards, & in the areas of local businesses

  • the Cottontown Art Crawl organizers are committed to creating a safe and inviting atmosphere so social distancing and masks are required across the entire area

  • the event is free but the art is not - while almost all artists will take cards, it’s a good idea to have a little cash on hand

  • this is the third annual Cottontown Art Crawl, but it’s the biggest thus far, so plan accordingly

  • there will be music in the Indah Coffee parking lot - see the line-up below
