Art Exhibit to accompany “Three Viewings”

February 21, 2012 By

Valley Playhouse is pleased to announce that an exhibit of local artists on “Life and Death” will accompany our production of Three Viewings at Court Square Theater this March 8-18, 2012. The featured artists include Rhoda Miller, Jason Anderson, Paul Somers, and Erin Kling.

Rhoda Miller

Rhoda has been making art for as long as she can remember and enjoys all types of creating.  She loves learning new art mediums and has yet to find one that bores her.  She loves texture and tries to incorporate it into much of her work.  During the week, she is the the outreach coordinator at the Collins Center, working mostly with adult female victims of sexual violence.  She is able to incorporate art into a lot of her work, by doing graphic design, maintaining the center’s website and co-leading art therapy support groups.  Rhoda sells her artwork at the Frame Factory and Gallery in Harrisonburg, on her Etsy site, and to anyone who contacts her about a custom piece.  Check out her website for more information: www.rhodarts.com

Jason Anderson

Jason graduated with a BFA in Photography from RIT in 2005 and is currently finishing up an MFA in the same discipline at James Madison University. He has been a photography instructor in the department for the past 2 years teaching the Intro Black and White darkroom course. Jason’s love for photography began at a very early age, he is a native of the valley growing up in Timberville, VA. His work ranges from snapshot to highly stylized studio portraits and paintings. Teaching others how to see the world through their own unique point of view is one of the main passions in his life. Jason lives here in Harrisonburg, VA and has shown numerous times in the community including a solo show at the Arts Council Smith House in Fall 2010.

 Paul Somers

 Paul happily lives in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where he takes photos and movies,    curates art shows and the Super Gr8 Film Festival with Tim Estep, bartends, writes poetry, works on his house, skateboards and raises his two children. Paul credits his father’s photographic talents and skateboarding for his lifelong love of capturing images.

 

Erin Kling

“While enrolled at James Madison University, I was fortunate to discover and explore various mediums of photography and the differing processes involved in each.  My work as a wedding and portrait photographer has placed me in the modern, digital realm of photography, but my fine art centers on the more antiquated and nostalgic mediums of tintypes. Tintypes (or Ferrotypes) are part of the first photographic process ever used around the late 1800′s. For the theme of the show, life and death, tintypes encompass the look of past lives with modern portraits. You can see more of my work and get
in touch with me about portrait sessions at www.erinklingphotography.com”
