Where'd You Get Those Shoes?

"Goody-Two Shoes" by Shari Sherman ©2014

 

 

Inspired by a pair of painted shoes by MK Shaw, our group of Poets & Painters decided that  it would be fun to create painted shoes to wear at our Beyond Words show (May 2015). Here are mine, almost finished. Goody-two shoes...a name I've been called more than once in my life. I'm finally to a point where I am able to embrace that label! I can hear Adam Ant every time I put these on..."Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do ya do?"  Apparently, I make Art!--Shari Sherman
 



Sneak Peek

Here's just a peek at one of the pieces that will appear in our show "Beyond Words" in May 2015. It is inspired by a poem by Antonio Machado and refers to the secret aqueduct in his heart. More to come!

In the beginning...

Where did this creative tribe get its start? Where most great ideas do...among friends. The four artists who belong to Poets & Painters found one another thanks to fate, serendipity, and the art gods. We are 100% grateful for the aligning of the stars that brought us together. 

In 2012, Anne-Marie and MK began to meet together to encourage one another in our art journeys. Soon, Elle joined us and her gifts as a poet inspired our group name. In 2013, Shari completed our foursome.

As we met around Anne-Marie's dining room table (the site of so many important milestones), it became clear that our collective talent and vision needed a concrete outlet. Our inaugural show, "Beyond Words" is slated for May 2015 and is the culmination of several years of work, inspiration, and group effort. 

Make no mistake, our group is evidence that the combined energy of four artists is a force to be reckoned with. It is our desire to inspire others to follow their dreams, cultivate their passions, and realize their goals.
