Susan Byrnes, a Cincinnati-based multi-disciplinary artist, has been named as the first OneNKY Center artist in residence.
“I’m thrilled to participate in this brand new residency program and proud to be part of an arts community that truly values what artists provide for the region,” said Byrnes. “I look forward to creating new work in support of the project and inspiring fellow artists to seek out this incredible opportunity in the future.”
The new program was brought about due to a partnership between the Northern Kentucky Port Authority, ArtsWave and meetNKY, the region’s tourism bureau. An exhibition of Byrnes’ work will be unveiled for members of the press on Friday at the OneNKY Center in Covington.
The exhibition is titled “Streams of Consciousness: Fields/Clouds/Bubbles,” and “consists of works made through an intuitive, continuous approach, similar to how writers use ‘stream of consciousness’ as a literary device,” according to a press release from ArtsWave.
“Byrnes notes that the imagery reflects patterns of an urban landscape, while also reflecting ‘the merging of information, nature and technology, and how I process this vibrant, often chaotic world,'” the release continues.
Arts talks and other public events related to Byrnes’ work will take place over the summer. You can learn more about Byrnes and her work at susanbstudio.com.
