Lonstar College - Kingwood Faculty Show - Kingwood

New paintings, sculpture, drawings, photographs, and ceramics will be on display at Lone Star College-Kingwood’s annual Faculty Art Show and art sale. The show begins Sept. 9 with a reception from 12:00 – 1:30 and ends Oct. 6.
 
“I feel the quality and scope of work showing well serves not only this growing campus and community but also Houston area artists and art lovers.” Gallery Director, Kris Larson said.
Faculty members Gerard Baldwin, Jay Calder, Cory Cryer, Joe Kagle, Divya Murthy, Mari Omori, Julon Pinkston, Kelly Revuelto, Kelley Eggert and Erich Schmalhorst have also donated special pieces, which will be offered for sale. These proceeds will go towards The Student Art Scholarship Fund.

In addition to this show, some instructors have future exhibitions scheduled on and off campus. Baldwin will have an unaccompanied show on campus Dec. 17-Jan. 21, 2011. Omori’s work will be shown May-August 2011 in a solo exhibition at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts located in Spring.Pinkston, one of the featured artists, teaches a combined Drawing I and II class and a Painting I and II class this fall. Pinkston will have two large paintings in the exhibition and a set of smaller paintings to sell.  “I entered the faculty art show for exposure of professional work for the students and for their understanding of what resources they have here at the campus. Hopefully, they become inspired by it and use a little of it in their own work and ideas,” Pinkston said.

With a master of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Drawing from the University of North Texas, Pinkston has taught art at LSC-Kingwood since 2008. He has also taught Design I and II, Drawing I and II, Life Drawing I and II, Painting I and II and Art Appreciation at Houston Community College, the University of North Texas and Lone Star College-Kingwood.
