H. Hall in Artist showcase at the Big Screen Plaza in NYC



Dave Love and student Hadley Hall, had the honor of being showcased in NYC's Time Square during the National Arts Education Association annual conference.  Young artists and their families traveled from all over the United States to view their art showcased on the big screen an event sponsored by Artsonia in an event designed to turn young artists into life long artists.

About the art work:

The artwork was created using relief printmaking and collage and was inspired by the artwork of the Pacific Northwest. Hadley - "I spent my childhood years in the Northwest and the artwork of the native people always made a great impression on me. The uniqueness of the imagery I saw there has stayed with me ever since. I juxtaposed the graphic qualities of the fish and water with a depiction of the female and male form in exploring the interconnectedness between man and nature."
