CORE Gallery Artists
EVERY DAY THERE IS
Teresa Getty
Meet the artist Teresa Getty at CORE on March 20th and 22nd for a casual meet and greet during gallery hours.
Through painting, Getty transforms the struggles of caregiving for a medically fragile child into sensitive almost tranquil experiences of wonder.
From every person I know, whether they are a friend, colleague, or a stranger, one thing holds true. Everyday there is a task to do, something to think about, some decision to be made or just a habit that defines them. Sometimes it is a tangle of obstacles, sometimes it is a desire to break free, sometimes it’s just an itch of yearning. However it may appear in their lives, or our lives, it is one thing that unites us all. We all have something going on that challenges us, that whirls our psyches’. My abstract paintings embrace that challenge of our lives hopefully playfully, but always with the curiosity.
While I work on each piece, I confront my own “every day there is” directly and then I open it up to play with the memories that arise, often I laugh and push and play with them, often that moment becomes buried as the paintings continue until their open end.
Character Development
Kate Harkins
These are portraits from life or invented people. Once created, the characters seek to speak for themselves and participate in the conversation we are having now, about the life and world we navigate and work to reinvent.
My mode of painting is to paint myself into a corner, creating imbalance, making and breaking images to find where the true flux begins. I grab any and all materials to create paintings that convey my passion about the subject. The more I play with a wide range of materials, like fabric, drawing, nail polish, and spray paint, the more the characters have room to enter and express themselves.
