WILL YOU
berry ME?
Some foods speak for themselves and almost don’t need to be tasted. A beautiful mound of dark chocolate makes my mouth water before I ever taste or smell it. I can imagine the taste of ripe raspberries and blackberries by just conjuing the image in my head. Think about the psychologically healing power of chicken soup (or in my case, junk food). Food speaks, and so should your work. This next Call wants art that speaks. This could be a great year-long opportunity for you…

JUROR: Internationally exhibited artist Flynn Geissel holds a deep passion for art and has been painting since 1997. The artist’s work has been exhibited in two American museums and in galleries throughout the nation. Serving two masters, the artist studied studio art and depth psychology, completing a doctoral degree in counseling psychology. During the study and practice of psychology, Geissel gravitated toward the domains of well-being, creativity, and the use of creative process as a healing tool. Discovering a wealth of artistic material in the study of dreams, the unconscious, and the healing stories of many cultures, the artist moved further into art as a life calling.
Equally proficient in the landscape as well as in abstract expressionism, Geissel’s work is a regular part of juried exhibits. Geissel’s work has also been exhibited at two Americal Museums including the July 2010 “Sensory Overload” exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and the Museum of the Living Artist in San Diego. The artist has also been exhibited internationally at The Brick Lane Gallery in London, UK.
