This is How it Starts

This is How it Starts

February 7 – 27, 2019
at Kathryn Schultz Gallery
25 Lowell Street, Cambridge MA
Juried by Martha Wakefield

In This is how it starts we endeavor to explore artistic process, by exhibiting the place where new ideas and energies often emerge – the sketchbook. For some artists, the sketchbook serves as a warm-up to their studio practice; for others, it is a place to record explorations and capture new ideas. For others, there is no sketchbook – but rather, preparatory drawings or painting, written musings, figure sketches. And, there is the digital sketchbook – the iPad.

Wherever you ‘start’ your process, we hope you’ll share it with us this Winter.


About the Juror |  Martha Wakefield, artist, instructor and mentor, has been producing works of extraordinary imagination for many years.

Born and raised in Maine, Wakefield is deeply attuned to its sea swept lands and unforgiving shore.  Her internal geography of memory and impression originates in Maine and serves as a springboard for studies of love, loss, and deep emotions.  Schooled at the University of Vermont and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, Wakefield returned to Boston following a successful career in New York City’s fashion industry to pursue her unfinished business as a full time artist.  She has studied with Wolf Kahn, Skip Lawrence, Stuart Shils and Jon Imber.

“Her work strives to capture the importance of this world – its mysterious and ancient past, as well as its continual rebirth and regeneration.  And so she makes art, writes about it, and teaches it to others – it’s more likely than not that she dreams of it too.  She represented by Powers Gallery of Acton, MA and Law & Water Gallery of Gloucester, MA.  Wakefield’s many awards and presence in private and corporate collections internationally stand testament to her longstanding dedication and talents.”
