January 2009: Symphonies & Dirges
New work by Emma Overman
According to our own Emma Overman, Symphonies & Dirges featured “a collection of works based on life’s highs and lows, from simple pleasures and trivial inconveniences to great successes and hardships.”
Emma Overman was born in Sete Lagoas, Brazil in 1975 and raised in Union City, Tennessee. She was graduated from Hanover College in 1997 and completed the Post Baccalaureate program at Maryland Institute College of Art a year later. Now living in Indianapolis, Emma divides her time between her own independent projects, illustration, and mural painting. She has illustrated four picture books and given over 80 presentations on the illustration process. Emma has won international illustration competitions and once had one of her books featured during a White House Christmas tour.
Also featured in January:
In Gallery No. 2: Cargo, new work by Toni Hook. An exhibit of over 20 paintings using shipping pallets as the canvas. The raw material paired with characteristically American images reflect an unrefined America. Through bold colors and aggressive brushwork, people and ideas become the freight.
In Hank & Dolly’s Gallery: Botanical Abstractions, new work by Todd Bracik
The exhibition and our First Friday opening were made possible with support from the Arts Council of Indianapolis, the Indiana Arts Commission, Amy McAdams Graphic Design, and Indy’s Music Channel.
