Artist Klaire Lockheart feigns surprise while standing in front of a horizontal print of a work of art she created in collaboration with photographer Aaron C Packard. This artwork is titled Night Watch with Maenads, and it’s a dramatic group photo of mid-century dystopian dames.

Hanging on a blue wall, there is a photograph titled Athena in Furs, and it documents an apocalyptic June Cleaver-esque character. This artwork was created by Aaron C Packard and Klaire Lockheart, who is pointing to the frame.

I hope you’ll be able to catch my artwork in the Asking for It art exhibition March 5th-27th at Radial Arts Center, 5915 Maple Street, Omaha, NE. The opening reception is March 6th from 6-9pm.

Reckless frenzy

The final result! This painting has taken over 100 hours to complete and I think it's been worth it :) I'll be happier once it's varnished/ I've built the frame but I think I've done all I can!

Progress at the end of today! I'll be deepening shadows and colours of clothing etc tomorrow in the hope of fixing the right side of the painting and the weird lighting there.
