Visions of Public Art
Windows of Inspiration
Steel, stainless steel
“I have been a professional designer/artist for more than 25 years. My love and fascination with art began at age 6 and continued throughout my career including working for world renowned sculptor Albert Paley at Paley Studios in Rochester, NY. Living in Rochester and Western New York as well as Florida gave me many opportunities to explore the lakes/ocean as well as the Urban areas! Much of my inspiration originates from these wonderful locations and experiences. My designs come from an emotional place... a place where feelings, attitudes, sexuality and gestures coexist. I represent these through steel, geometric space, form, texture and color.”
Visions of Public Art was presented in 2019 as part of [Current Seen] Big Ideas. Small Venues.
Current Seen supports the region's growing contemporary art community by bringing new curatorial voices and new artists together near East Ave. and Main St. in Rochester, New York.
2019 Core Venues (Rochester Contemporary Art Center, Central Library of Rochester, Visual Studies Workshop, RIT City Art Space) and Framework Venues (galleries, community and alternative spaces, and pop-up venues) hosted curated exhibitions of local and national artists related to the general theme: our current moment / our changing city.
Building upon First Friday Rochester, Current Seen is intended to foster collaboration, help spaces achieve greater collective impact, celebrate the act of curation, and aid artists in reaching new expanded audiences. Programs include more than 20 exhibitions and events organized by both experienced and emerging curators spanning three generations. The lead organizer of Current Seen is Bleu Cease, Executive Director of Rochester Contemporary Art Center.
