Tell me about a project that took you a long time to complete.

Here are the paintings from my Subdued Dudes art exhibition!
Thank you so much to everyone who attended the opening for my Subdued Dudes art reception last Friday! I feel like I’ve done nothing but paint for the last year, and it made me incredibly happy to share my work with you!

Here’s a sneak peek of my artwork at No. 7 in Vermillion. I owe a huge thank you to my wonderful husband Aaron C Packard for not only modeling in some of the paintings but also helping transport these wily beasts. Somebody* should buy this man a drink after the art reception today from 5-7!
*By “somebody,” I mean me, but you’re welcome to join us afterwords!
Did you catch my Interview with Baylee Peterson on Dakota News Now? Watch the segment titled, “First SD artist to receive Pollock-Krasner Grant” to get a preview of my new oil paintings.

I’m absolutely pleased with the article Angela George wrote about me for the Argus Leader titled, “How to see the 'brodalisque' paintings from South Dakota's first-ever Pollock grant winner.” She provides information about the Pollock-Krasner Foundation along with explaining the work I did to complete my grant project.
Eek! I’m getting ready to debut the paintings I made with the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. I hope to see you at the opening reception on March 28th at No. 7 Center in Vermillion!

I’ve been spending too much time with my bros lately! Anyway, I hope to see you at my Final Friday art reception at No. 7 Center in Vermillion, South Dakota on March 28th from 5-7 pm.

Is anyone else painting people?

I’m going to debut the paintings I made with the generous support of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant on Final Friday, March 28th from 5-7 pm at No. 7 Center Gallery, 7 Center St. Vermillion, South Dakota. I titled the exhibition Subdued Dudes because I think I’m hilarious, and I’d love to see you there!

I really shouldn’t complain because I do love to paint, but it’s a lot of work!
#brodalisque #leopardprint #painting
[Description: In a vertical video, an exhausted artist explains how long it took her to paint a few leopard print spots on a suit worn by a recumbent model in a large oil painting.]
Is this a good time to make a Lady Macbeth reference about “out damned spot,” or is there a better joke I should make?

[Description: A photo of artist Klaire Lockheart hamming it up for a photo as she paints leopard print spots on the suit worn by a brodalisque in one of her overly-complex paintings.]
Do you also struggle with understanding when a joke ceases to be funny?

Why am I covering up all the details I painted on this wall with shadow?

[Description: A vertical video demonstrates how artist Klaire Lockheart combines medium with black paint in order to add shadow to the wall within a brodalisque composition.]
Ta-Da! I’m still not done with this painting!

I’m making progress on this new brodalisque painting, but I still have a lot of work to do!
I donated Uneditioned Print of Brodalisque Reclining in the Garage to the 3rd Annual TPAN Fundraising Gala on March 7th in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Transformation Project Advocacy Network advocates for the dignity and well-being of transgender South Dakotans. My artwork is part of their auction, and you can bid online.
Wouldn’t this tiny bro look great hanging on your wall? You can bid on my art in the online auction supporting the Transformation Project Advocacy Network. This is a miniature reproduction print of my painting titled Brodalisque Reclining in the Garage. It’s enclosed in an ostentatious faux-gold frame that I built as a joke to reference over-the-top presentations of classic figure paintings. Bidding closes March 7th.
