Joyce Savre Show at Litquake

40x30

48x36

Poetry, language, and  handwriting have become the subjects of my most recent series, covering the last few years.

Therefore, I was especially excited to be  invited to show 23  of these paintings at the Harvey & Phillis Koch Art Gallery and Cultural Hall at the Jewish Community Center in Palo Alto from August 1 - September 7. My art has been chosen specifically at this time for the "Litquake" which takes place on August 26 at the JCC.   Litquake has taken place in San Francisco in previous years, and the Palo Alto JCC is a new venue for this day of celebrating literature and writing with activities for the whole family. There will be  free panels with published authors during the day and Michael Krasney will be the guest speaker in the evening.

Address: 1929 Menalto Avenue, Menlo Park (from Willow Avenue, turn South on Gilbert till you come to Menalto)
Phone:  650-322-1926
Hours:
    Monday through Thursday 7am-5pm

All of my paintings here have cups in them: my father had a coffee shop up in Moorhead, Minnesota for 40 years - a very small place, but one of fraternity where the farmers and local professors would sometimes be waiting for him in 10 below weather to open at 6 AM.  The endless pot of Norwegian "egg coffee"  (where a whole egg is mixed with  ground coffee and  then added to boiling water and simmered for 20 minutes) was also a staple in my home.  So cups of coffee, memories around it and what the cup symbolizes have been very important  in my life.  Enjoy!

Joyce Savre Solo Show at Rourke Art Gallery

This solo show at Rourke Art Gallery is somewhat of a dream come true for painter Joyce Savre. Having hailed from Moorhead, Minnesota, Joyce explains, "In my first art class at Concordia, a friend and I sat on 4th Street and painted the Rourke Art Gallery. I would never have dreamed that some 40 years later I'd have the paintings hanging inside."

Bonny Novesky and Joyce Savre Showing at Heatherfields

Bonny Novesky and Joyce Savre are currently showing their artwork at Heatherfields in Saratoga, CA - along with former Linden Street artist Marianne Lettieri! The opening last night was a huge success and fellow artist Kalani Engles was there to lend her support and enjoy the festivities.

Heatherfields is a special boutique with a focus on art, in the quaint village of Saratoga. Owner Patrice Davis is an interior designer and provided a lovely salon setting to showcase the works of these three artists.

Make sure you stop by for a visit, as the show will be up for another month!

Joyce Savre in Several Shows and a Collaboration

The lovely gardens at Filoli

Joyce Savre was in a show at Filoli in Woodside, California, called Patterns and Abstractions of Nature, A Fine Art Mixed Media Exhibit. Her piece was a triptych titled "Shadow Lines, Ocean Space". This lovely exhibit featured original fine art drawings, paintings, photographs and other two-dimensional art that illuminate the amazing structures of nature in creative ways. The subjects ranged from something living, such as the veins of leaves, to something not living, such as ripples on sand dunes, to a combination, such as the patterns of reeds and the ripples on a pond. The exhibit ran from February 9 - April 11, 2010.

Piano

Along with 6 other artists, Joyce Savre was in a March watercolor show at Gallery 9 in Los Altos.


What's 'Summer' Without a Walleye, Jasper John?

This piece above is Joyce Savre's entry from last year's exhibit. We are happy to announce that Joyce has been invited once again to the 51st Midwestern Invitational Exhibit of Fine Art at the Roarke Art Museum in Moorhead, Minnesota. This year's theme will be "Birthright and Legacy" and is being held June 18 - September 5, 2010.


Triton Museum

Joyce's piece, "The Fallen Bird", was one of 70 works out of 600, selected for the prestigious Statewide Drawing and Print Competition, juried by Roberta Loach. This exhibit was held at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, and ran from December 12, 2009 - March 14, 2010.

Last but definitely not least, Joyce has recently collaborated with the poet, Charlotte Muse. Joyce wrote music for one of Charlotte's poems entitled "Caldeando Song". The sheet music is in Charlotte's new book of poetry called A Story Also Grows, which was inspired by the words of Ascencion Solorsano, the last native speaker of the Amah Mutsun tribe of northern California. This lovely book is printed from hand set Kennerley Oldstyle type on the first cotton/linen handmade rag paper from the Chester Creek paper mill. The book is available for purchase here.

3 Linden Street Warehouse artists involved in book project

For generations women in the Bible have inspired movies, novels, sermons, and art. The new book, Women of the Bible: Mothers, Harlots, Wives and Queens, retells the stories of these female archetypes through creative explorations in art, prose and poetry. Three of our Linden Street Warehouse artists – Marianne Lettieri, Barbara Mortkowitz, and Joyce Savre, participated in the collaboration.

The book's original art and writing will be exhibited during the Menlo Park Connoisseur's Marketplace, July 19 and 20. To view some of the book's pages online, go to the direct link on Blurb.
