Jennifer -
As promised, below are thumbnails for your review and possible inclusion in your article. Again, our thanks for your interest.
I. The first two images - in color and black white thumbnail versions - are digital artwork by 2004-2005 CCAI Artist In Residence Ginger Bruner. Her work is featured during December in CCAI's Caffeine! Gallery at Comma Coffee in Carson City.
A
bit more, pulled from the press
release: "Comma
Coffee is located across from the State Legislature
Building. The exhibition
and reception are free and the public is cordially invited.
The
exhibition at Caffeine! features selected works from the artist's "Fremont
Suite,""Vegas on the Tiber" and "Sky Suite" series,
printed on large vinyl and canvas scrolls. "As a lifelong Las
Vegan," comments Ms. Bruner,"I have been surrounded by
two kinds of color: the delicate hues of the desert, and the impossibly
saturated tones of neon. Both are very important to me in my work
and my life."
Ms. Bruner is CCAI's second artist participating in the organization's Artist
In Residence Program, funded in part by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council.
Over the next few months, she will work with local artists, musicians and civic
organizations on a broad range of projects, producing artworks and radio spots
based on her CCAI experience."
Please feel free to contact me or Sharon if you have questions. Cheers and all
the best.

II. The next images- also in color and black white thumbnail versions - are 'snapshots' from the opening of CCAI's inaugural Carson City Courthouse Gallery exhibition last August, the "CCAI UNR BFA Awards Exhibition" featuring artists Jeanne Jo and Diana Snyder.
A
bit more, pulled from the press
release: "The
artists will present new installation work created specifically for the
Courthouse gallery space. Both use unconventional materials traditionally
associated with
the domestic arts. Ms. Snyder uses melted hard candy as a sculpture material
to create exquisite floral wall arrangements. Ms. Jo uses wool yarn and crocheting
techniques to produce intriguing, patterned, figurative work.
Jeanne Jo was born in Stoneham, Massachusetts. She is currently
an instructor at the E.L. Cord Museum School at the Nevada Museum of Art.
Her work has been exhibited in Reno at the Nevada Museum of Art and Charterhouse
Gallery. While at UNR, she was the recipient of the 2004 Sheppard Gallery
Permanent Collection Purchase Prize.
Diana Snyder was born and raised in Reno. Her
work has been shown at UNR’s Front Door and Sheppard Galleries,
and at Sierra Arts. She was the recipient of a UNR Best In Show
award in the 2002 Student Art Exhibition and a Juror’s Award
in 2003."
