Item Description

You are bidding on the Ace of Clubs, an 8 inch by 14 inch framed encaustic painting by Kelly Williams.

This work has an estimated value of $250.

Proceeds from the sale of this piece will benefit The Recovery Panes Project at ACMA (the Arts and Communication Magnet Academy), a healing arts project to help those whose lives have been impacted by addiction.

Kelly Williams is an encaustic artist that shares both her art and psychology experience to help those around her. Painting with encaustic (wax and fire) has a cathartic effect when working out deep and layered ideas, emotions,and experiences. Kelly's work is often a symbolic narrative of some form; expressing experiences past, present struggles and joys, as well as future hopes and visions.  It is a progression of disentanglement, a developing of a story, layer by layer.  Her volunteer work, including mentoring high school students and at-risk women, led her to a deeper appreciation of the community.  Her Portland Series explores the symbols and images that reflect her long relationship and love of the City.  Her work is often seen around town and she is frequently involved in Portland City Art events and is privileged to have her NW studio be part of Portland Open Studio Tour Artist again this year.

 

Item Special Note

THE FINE PRINT:

Please note that the description above was submitted by the artist.  Also note that the image depicted with the listing is the image used in the Portland Project Deck ... which may be slightly different from the original artwork you are bidding on.  The original artwork also may have had additional aspects or features digitally added to prepare it for inclusion in the deck.  In some listings (but not all) we have mentioned differences between the card image and the original artwork, but in all cases you take final responsibility to be comfortable with the piece of art you are bidding on.  If you have any questions about the difference between the image and the original piece, we encourage you to see the actual piece of art in person before you bid (they are all even more incredible live).  In all cases the artwork is ready to hang but the pieces vary in terms of framing, attached hardware, etc.  To find out where you can view the actual artwork, visit www.facebook.com/artinhandpdx or view the home page of the auction where we have all the showings listed.  If you are the winning bidder we will expect you to make arrangements to have your art picked up either between 9-10pm at the closing reception Saturday evening May 22 or over the following couple of days at Splendorporium (3421 SE 21st Ave) between 11am and 5pm.  If you prefer the artwork to be shipped, expect to pay actual packing and shipping costs (which will vary for each item depending the size, framing, etc.) plus a $25 handling fee.  Note that this could get expensive, so we encourage you to make arrangements to have it picked up locally.  Note that we will not pre-calculate packing and shipping. Although the auction requires you to register a credit card to bid, we will NOT automatically bill your card if you are a winning bidder, as we would prefer to collect your payment by check or cash when you pick up your artwork.  You will receive notice from us if you are the winning bidder with your options.
