SUMMARY:Cocktails & Conversation with Amy Boone-McCreesh
DESCRIPTION:Visual artist and educator Amy Boone-McCreesh\, from Baltimore\, MD\, is a current Artist in Residence at Loghaven Artist Residency in Knoxville\, TN. Much like the artist Jo Sandman\, Boone-McCreesh works in experimental methods exploring the use of non-conventional materials. Although their results are vastly different\, Sandman leans more minimalistic and Boone-McCreesh is a self-proclaimed maximalist\, their method for arriving at these conclusions follows a similar path. Additionally\, both artists have had the unique opportunity to explore their creative freedom through time spent at artists’ retreats such as Black Mountain College and Loghaven. \nABOUT THE ARTIST—\nAmy Boone-McCreesh was born on Loring Air Force Base in Maine. Her upbringing instilled in her an interest in the connections between aesthetic leanings within economic and cultural status. She has a heightened visual awareness of the ways people and spaces flaunt class\, taste\, and access. Amy received her BFA from Pennsylvania College of Art and Design and MFA from Towson University in Maryland\, and shortly thereafter was awarded a two-year Hamiltonian Artist Fellowship in Washington\, DC. Amy has been based in Baltimore\, Maryland for the last fifteen years.⁠ Her work has been included in exhibitions across the country. In addition to her own studio practice\, Amy has a committed relationship to visual arts education\, running the web–based studio visit series INERTIA\, and is adjunct faculty at MICA and Towson University.⁠ \nLight refreshments and a cash bar are available beginning at 5:30 pm\, and the lecture begins promptly at 6:00 pm. \nFree and open to the public!  \nPortrait of Amy Boone-McCreesh by Jill Fannon
