Artist Janice Nabors Raiteri has recently fired her PR agent. Says Ms. Raiteri, "She is so low-tech and continually forgets to update my FAA website. I continue to do such interesting and exciting events, weekly creating masterpieces, and as you notice, nothing has been written in the press in a long, long time! I will soon be hiring a new agent (who incidentally looks a lot like me...and actually a lot like my old agent...)." So, we'll all stay tuned to see intriguing new announcements about Ms. Raiteri and her art happenings.

Janice Nabors Raiteri, a recent transplant to Ste Genevieve's historic district, will be the featured artist at the Ste Genevieve Winery for the Fourth Friday Artwalk in August. The solo show will adorn the front room at the winery through September. Ms Raiteri works in inks on paper and artboard to create colorful and unusual paintings. She considers her art introspective and hopes the viewer will stop, study, and form an individual interpretation of the ever-changing compositions. In addition, Ms Raiteri will exhibit in the Art Guild's group show as well as in Rust on N Main. She plans to hold three open studios at her home studio shortly after the August venue. Information will be available at the artwalk. Be sure to put the winery on your list of stops!

After a studio-less stint, Janice Nabors Raiteri is moving into new digs at Lawrence Creates Makerspace, 512 E 9th (at New Jersey). Her studio will be open and ready for visitors during most Final Fridays and every Makerspace event, or just zip her an email at jraiteri@yahoo.com to stop in most any time. There's lots going on here, even a wood shop and metalworks space, so come by and check it out.

Stop by the small gallery in the back entry of Phoenix (825 Mass) and enjoy the array of beautiful, unique flower paintings by Lawrence artist, Janice Nabors Raiteri.

Ms. Raiteri will be there for January's Final Friday, the 27th, from 5 til 9PM.

Janice Nabors Raiteri will present a showing of her newer small paintings (nothing larger than 12"x24") in the front gallery of Seedco Studios at E 9th and Delaware throughout the month of November. The show will open on October's Final Friday Artwalk the 28th of this month, from 5 til 9PM. Ms. Raiteri paints in all sizes, but feels there is an intimacy in small paintings that is special unto itself. She says a quote from Kahlil Gibran planted the seed of inspiration for this show -- "…in the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning." Please stop by, take your time, and enjoy these small treasures.

Artist Janice Nabors Raiteri's "Celebrate" was selected by to be printed on a memorial edition of a private cellar wine. The wine is a tribute to the late Bill Huddleston, a Memphian who was well respected in all facets of the wine industry. This wine was the brainchild of Ron Bunnell who with his wife, Susan, owns and operates Bunnell Family Cellars in Washington state. Ron, Janice, and Bill all were friends when they attended Kingsbury High School in Memphis sometime back in the last century. The wine along with the original artwork will be auctioned as a donation to one of Bill's favorite charities, Shelby Residential and Vocational Services. Both Janice and Ron will be present to sign the label at the SRVS Charity Fundraiser Gala which will be at the Memphis Hilton, August 20, from 7 til 11 pm. Tickets for the gala are available through the SRVS website.

Ms. Raiteri says of her recent paintings, "I think in ink...in paintings that speak of subtle sensations, defying words. The colors ebb and flow, evolving organically as they are guided into orgastracts, continually changing, revealing themselves. In these distracted times, introspective art is essential. For it is in the stillness of silent conversation that one absorbs the wonderful energy of this world, hears its harmony, and moves with its modulating rhythms."

"So Lightly Here" -- an exhibition by Janice Nabors Raiteri will be on display here in Lawrence at Be Moved Studio (2 E 7th). Ms. Raiteri says of her recent paintings, "I think in ink...in paintings that speak of subtle sensations, defying words. The colors ebb and flow, evolving organically as they are guided into orgastracts, continually changing, revealing themselves.

They are small reminders that “...the boundaries to which we attach all terms are in constant change...for even the hills are shadows, they flow from form to form, And nothing stands.” (Alan Watts)
